Some new ones. Unfortunately the angle I was forced to shoot from to see the drifts was terrible for photos, and they wouldnt let me up onto capitol hill (opposite side of the corner).

Nikon D50 with a variation on lenses from an 18/50mm, and for motion on track shots I was using a 70/300mm lens.

Horrible angles to shoot from at the track though.

There weren't any official times, there were a mix of events all around the track at one time, the drifters were using the back of the track, drags and powerskid comps at the main straight, and then the burnouts in the skid pan.

These are some photos from the powerskids. the longest reached (top speed of 180kilometers an hour) and went for a distance of 427 meters.

Surprisingly there were many cars that smoked the entire rolling drag strip.
