(Images by Jose Ferrer) – Just when you thought it was safe to go outside we’re back with more great Drag Week photos! This time the images were snapped through the lens of Jose Ferrer’s camera as he and Mike Brooks prowled the grounds of Summit Racing Equipment Motorsports Park in Ohio. Jose did a great job of getting into the pits and seeing the thrash as well as the action that was happening on the track. While the headline stories of drag week are the elapsed times that the competitors put up on the score boards, it is the work that happens in the pits where the real heart and soul of the event exists.
Back in the first years of the event it was pretty easy for guys to get their work done in the pits. There were no spectators to speak of and there were not mane cars so everyone had room for days. Well, those times have drastically changed and you will see lots of cars and lots of spectators roaming around and looking at stuff. That’s not a bad thing but it makes life a little more complicated as the men and women of the event try to do anything. Some of these racers about needed a rope to organize the crowds that were forming around their cars and trucks!
We’ll stop babbling and direct you to check out the photos below and then stay tuned for more tomorrow!
