(Photos by Mike Brooks) – This happens every damned year. A some point during the summer, one of our shooters sends me a killer gallery of images and in my haste to be going somewhere or doing something it gets lost in the electronic shuffle. This time it was Mike Brooks who was victimized by my ineptitude but thankfully he didn’t find me and squash my head like a grape, he just reminded me via email that these images from the Syracuse Nationals were waiting patiently to see the light of day!

The Syracuse Nationals is a great show with a long tradition of awesomeness. It is massive with nearly 10,000 cars showing up to have fun. They have everything from street rods to cackling nitro funny cars at this deal and that’s no kidding! Mike sent nearly 400 images from the show and we’re stating with these right here!
