Thanks Mark, but I didn't see any results, just a messageboard!

Very cool; thanks for sharing! Everyone should go to one of these events at least once in their life; this was my third year at the Coors Light Finals; it's always good to get one last fix before the end of the year.

The results are under World Finals Race Coverage within the messageboard. I think you will need to register.

That was an unreal thrash!!!!! Congrats to all the "Toxic Rocket" crew. We will have a pretty cool photo essay describing what Mr. Barnes is talking about. Will post a link as soon as it's up.

Just updated with more sarcasm and a half a dozen more pictures.
Enjoy!

Thanks Mark I did find it finally, boy TFH really fell off this year! I remember in '05 the 8 boat bump was a record 5.19! And I think over a dozen 4.90 or quicker passes were made. The Twin screws must have really priced a lot of guys out of it!

No, the lack of a stellar TV package, the rising costs, and limited exposure for such an animal has hurt the top fuel field. These guys are doing this because they love it. And that doesn't pay the bills.
I love boat drags. No money, but lots of dedication. True love for the sport.

Buzz - Absolutely beautiful pictures!

I was at the race on Saturday and shot a few pictures with my 70-200 2.8 lens from the stands, but my shots are no where near as good as yours. What lens were you using and where did you shoot from?

Great Gallery Buzz!!!

I've never been to the boat drags, but that has certainly wetted (pardon the pun) my appetite. Thanks for sharing, really great job.

Cheers
Paul.
