Despite the tragic event that happened at Moroso, I am going to post these 10 select photos from the event because I want to share my experience, which up until the accident was great.



First pic and it's with Jessie Harris. I ask her if the move to top fuel is final, she said it is and will make full passes sometime next week or so.



A VERY nice Chevelle.



A nice older Cadillac 'vert. Looks like it's in great shape.



The cool bus. It did not have a good day, could not seem to launch on either pass.

I decided to ask the Racegirl reps to pose for me, which they said yes.



All-motor Durango (well except for the exhaust), runs 12's!



No, this is NOT an ultra-rare Chevelle 2-door wagon. The owner converted a 4-door to a 2-door, did an excellent job.



Dyno Dave Heitzman reached the finals, but could not compete because the race was called off due to the jet funny car accident.

Jet dragster driver Elaine Larson signed a pic I took back in March, here's the scan.



Here's another pic with Jessie, from back in March.

Some nice pictures there Sam, but did you have the exposure or something cranked up too high to have some of those too bright pictures?

I've done that a couple dozen times, have no idea how I did it.

Jenn, I like to use manual exposure and over expose by just a tiny bit, because I tried leaving the camera set at auto and it tends to underexpose. The issue with that is the Panasonic cameras have a noise (distortion) issue and overexposing by a tiny bit lessens the effect of the noise.

If I had a DSLR, things would be different but I have to make do with what I have now.

Why would you want to intentionally over expose it?

Because if I underexpose, I'd have to brighten it up and that just makes the noise more pronounced.

That gives a whole new meaning to "the short bus"!!!

I am glad you got the Racegirl's permission for the photo! We don't need the picture police getting involved here!

I thought the noise was more when you had a higher ISO

Panasonic cameras always have had a noise issue even at the lower ISOs. It's either that or face horrible shutter lag from other cameras, there's no point in a lower-noise image if you're going to miss the shot. Sure other super-zoom cameras are catching up in the focus speed dept but Panasonic still has the lead in that area.
