Default [PICS] From today's Englishtown Grudge Match!!!

Well, the grudge match between Deb and Barry was a nail biter till the very end. Deb did great, her reaction time was awesome even though this was her first time on a dragstrip.

It was great seeing everyone there supporting Debbi and Barry, we all had a great time watching the grudge match. Although the Beast won the grudge match, the beauty never looked better!! It made the two hour + drive home feel like only an hour.

Enjoy the pics!!


Welcome race fans!! The grudge match of the century between the Beauty and the Beast, both dressed in red is about to begin!!


Debbi checking her tire pressure and soaking up every bit of advice


Truer words have never been stickered


".... this is why I'm hot, this is why I'm hot, I'm hot cuz you're not..."


2 sexy racers posing for the camera. Hey!! How did Frank pop up in this pic??


The drag queen shows us her years of racing skill. Wait, did you just red light??


An awesome midyear grudge match


Speaking of grudgematch, the beauty and the beast line up for their practice run.


Not bad, not bad, Deb's reaction time was very impressive. She was still getting a feel for the track.


Just a standard minitub


Hmmmm... someone's sneaking some laughing gas on the track


From the outside, you'd never know

Ok, the first round of the grudgematch begins


OOOHHHH!!!! Deb gets a 12.8!!! Barry loses some traction and gets a 13.0


Awesome Job Debbi!!!!


Since both vettes look identical from a distance, we decided to distinguish them a bit


The insane bikes go up while everyone else stages


These guys are freakin insane but their numbers are incredible


Laurie invited me into the control tower, I got some great shots from up there.


Its always so cool to see these classics not sitting in a garage but actually being pushed to their limits


Another shot of some gorgeous vettes


Debbi and Barry get ready for Round 2


Go Debbi!!!


Damn, Debbi lost some traction and got a 13.2 vs. Barry's 12.8. Its one to one now.


The announcers were great, they really played up the grudge match over the speakers


A wicked camaro in the parking lot


This Z06 was simply amazing, I couldn't stop staring at all the details


The widebody kit was so well done, he even integrated C6 Z06 air scoops into the fenders


It looked amazing


Back to the race, the final showdown begins


Wow!! What a finish!!! Barry barely beat Debbi, he got a 12.79 vs Debbi's 12.8


Barry doesn't have to live through years of being told he lost to a girl who drives an A4.


If I was racing Deb, I would have been too busy thinking about that beautiful smile to get a good time.

Congrats Deb Did you decide when you will let the cat out of the bag that you were really showing mercy on the poor fella. How many times can you crush the guy and not start to feel bad for him


Almost forget nice pics Alex.

See you in Cheesequake

For folks who were at E-town today, I'm posting up the better part of 500 pics from today at:
http://tacampbell.smugmug.com/gallery/2741684

I was using 2 cameras (both Canon 8MP), so you'll see a number of time-lapse off the line, and a number of single shots and pans as people went down the lane. This is the first time I've shot races, so things start out so-so, and get better as they progress.

I only knew a few peoples' cars, but I took some of most everything that caught my eye. I'm pretty sure I have some of Kim, Frank, and of course Deb and that other guy.

These are all scaled down versions - I have the originals at 3450X2300 resolution. If there are any of you that you would like hi-res copies of, drop me an email at hardtop(at)gmail(dot)com.

I also pulled out a couple specific runs
Kim in a time-lapse from the line:

Deb as a pan down the lane:
