King of Clubs 2010 drag racing trophys

How can ordinary non drag racing people find the following aural symphony irratating? The sight, sound, and smell of drag racing... wonderful stuff!

I don't know why the image doesn't appear, but the video works

" The Devil's Grocery Getter " what a cool name for a dragster

Great looking Harley, terrific pinstriping by Cisneros

For two other pinstripe examples of Cisneros work: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/08/great-kustom-that-belongs-to-one-of.html and https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFiQOq9x7KeFpZ5jGQbtUqEZTt1Pg1oOFBqwUvyUKdemAwB5w_RPbGkoo5HRQuXLS6veftUoDIfD9B1DkJsaHMUY3S9K4XqG59ne0MxLEpVpYh76I3g0TpoReHfisUiqlp8VrRGo9oZmeJ/s1600-h/DSC05493.jpg

These two guys are good friends and were racing each other all afternoon

Notice who is smiling?

And looking back at his friend?

That's because this guy isn't ready to race. Killed it at the start line after getting a little squirrely with the burn out.

And the smiling guy was frequently seen looking back over his shoulder to mock his slow freind. When in front by a long shot at the finish line, it's customary to look back disparagingly and mock the slow poke.. just a little.

Video and photos of a slingshot from Barona's drag racing this past weekend

No Clue II at Barona

Whoops. You never know what you'll get on film,

For the first post I did when I first found this cool wagon at the Over The Hill Gang streak at Campland on the Bay: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2007/05/with-your-chrome-heart-shining-in-sun.html

Great looking hot rods at the King of Clubs drag racing annual event at Barona 1/8th mile track

The only hauler that raced the 1/8th! If I remember correctly, it pulled a 13 second. Wish I'd caught that on film

Not a real Auburn boattail speedster, a reproduction

Buick Wildcat

Don't see these everyday!

Comet wagon... cool!

Middle of the hood, green... never seen anything like it before

Anybody know what it's for?
