DRAG RACING
Drag racing was the first form of motorsport in which I became involved. Over the years, due to neighborhood encroachment on drag strip locations and complaining neighbors, event numbers have dwindled. However, there is always the option of Thursday night drags at Irwindale Speedway where one can run the 1/8th mile. Otherwise local to Los Angeles, the 1/4 mile strip at AAA Speedway in Fontana, CA is the main attraction. Unfortunately, it was shut down for over two years while a sound wall was constructed. I hope to get out to more events once things are up and running again.

Growing up outside of Washington D.C. I took my Honda Civic out to drag strips all over the East Coast for import events. I put together a gallery of the images I captured during that time.
One of the many drag racing passes in my Civic. This one was in New Jersey at Atco Raceway in 2001.
A old video I captured of Gary Gardella racing his Honda Civic against Brent Rau in his Mitsubishi Eclplise. I cannot recall what year this was or what track it was.
