We’ll be the first to admit that this is a weird photo. In fact, we’d rank it as one of the weirdest ones we’ve taken, but it is ripe for awesome captions. This isn’t a photochop or similarly altered image. The background is thick with white smoke from a jet dragster in the far lane doing the “thunder and fire” show before a run.
The man in the center of the photo is Glenn Grow, the former manager of Lebanon Valley Dragway in West Lebanon, New York. I worked for Glenn as an announcer at LVD while I was in college and on this day I was testing out my snappy new camera at a match race.
So as he’s standing there between two roaring jet dragsters, what’s he thinkin’?
Bring on the captions!
