Pics I took @ fuel & gas finals Bakersfield

Hey you. Went on over to Bakersfield to watch goodguys fuel & gas finals Saturday qualifying. Cool overcast morning, track very good and tight. Sun broke thru in the afternoon to the mid-upper 70's, light breeze. Really fantastic weather. HUGE MASSIVE crowd and car counts! Awesome.
I shot these with my crappy cam randomly.
Ready? Let's go!

Was hanging out across the way when suddenly this loud filing sound. Isaid WTH is that?

This guy is really dedicated!

The call went out: "Top fuel to the staging lanes!" and I was attacked by a horde of rails!

I have a bunch more here, including a bunch of nice cars, hot California girls, random stuff, but they came out too blurry.
Had fun! Saw the record setting 5.70 @ 250MPH Sean Bellemeur NT/F ran
