Thanks





I have come to the realization that I am an image hoarder. My computer is choked with pictures of cars launching toward the stratosphere, drag slicks spinning into oblivion, thanks in no small part to the efforts of photographers like the late Bob Plumer. Bob was gracious enough to share his vast collection on the internet for us all to enjoy. Here are a few of Bob's iconic photos from the strip.

Thanks Bob.

  2. I just realized, in the months since I have started following your blog, I have had several dreams about wheel standing cars. Last night I had a pretty good dream about pulling wheels taking off from a stop light. Thanks to you.

  3. Those photos were NOT shot by Plumer He was a photo thief. He liked to give people the impression he shot stuff he wasn't even close to.
