NHRA Winter Nationals

[Matt Romanowski]

I always find I'm taking photos of "things" - cars, buildings, motorcycles, , but not people. So Sunday when I was at the NHRA Winter Nationals in Pomona, I worked on getting photos of drivers and crew. As always, please feel free to comment and critique!

1. Everyone knows this guy. Not a great day for his team...

8. One of the few shots I took of the racing action. Drag racing is hard to get photos of cars if you don't have media access.
