4x5x365 – Day 91

I finally got my timing down on this frame as this alcohol rail dragster launches from the starting line at Thunder Valley Raceway in Noble, Oklahoma. Shot with my Toyo VX-125 4x5 film camera on a sheet of Ilford HP5 sheet film.

Looks like I got my timing down on this alcohol rail dragster I photographed on my Toyo VX-125 4×5 film camera at Thunder Valley Raceway in Noble, Oklahoma. His front wheel is lifting, the light is green, and his rear tire is wrinkled up quite well as he launches from the start. When you only have one shot every 2-3 minutes, practice and timing is crucial to catch the decisive moment.
