(Photos by Darrell Russell) Thanks to our friend Darrell Russell, we’ve got some killer photos from the recent NHRA National Open at Ohio Valley Dragway in Louisville Kentucky. We’re talking wheels up sportsman drag racing at its best, and Darrell was right there getting some incredibly detailed shots from up close and personal. And if you want to purchase any of Darrell’s photos, or check out any others he’s got, visit the link below. There are both big and small tire door cars, some dragsters, and more running at events like this. Again, these National Open events are all about sportsman drag racing, so there are no professional classes running at these events. We look forward to even more photos like these from Darrell, and really appreciate him sharing them with all of you BANGshifters.

Good job Darrell!
Great pictures, I’ll probably see many of those cars next Friday morning during Stock and Super Stock class eliminations at the U.S. Nationals. Then the Hemi Challenge, AND THEN, nighttime nitro for ‘Funny Cars First on Friday’. 1st whiffs of nitro in 2 years, CAN’T WAIT ! ! !
Best part of the Nationals; the black flakes of rubber in my white beard make me look 20 years younger.
