Took some pics at Columbus and did not get a chance to post yet.

I'm officially passing the D3 torch to you Alex....

just kidding around Alex..............I'll still post when I can

Remember... any pic is better than no pics!

Thomas -- No need to take the heat ! ! In my "Live from Columbus" there were 58 photos posted by me personally and another 18 posted by Stefan -- plenty of photos to go -- and many more than DRC or NHRA would have put up ...............I'm not sure why some of these folks have their underwear bunched up ......................

Jack & Tom ,

You guys have done a great job and show many more pictures than ever before ... I wonder where all these people were when we had NO- Photo's ? Give me a break , these guys do this because they Love Racing and no-money for thier time .... I guess we have too many experts and races can't take good pictures ...???

Forget these jokers and keep doing what you guys do best, keep us informed & updated on what's really happening ? Yes, I think there's some jealous people because Stock & Superstock , Comp. are getting some needed attention & Ink .... We don't get any TV coverage, small dragster coverage and no-press coverage ....

The photo's have been great along with the reporting ... Like Alex, I second the motion to get Alkey Alex on board ASAP ... It's 100 %
better than you now have and he loves doing it .. Lighten Up !!!

By the way this also includes, Toby, Michael, Larry, Ken and anyone else doing the reporting, we do appreciate what you guys do....

THANKS ........................

Alex, Toby,Thomas, Jack , The Hills and I'm forgetting many others who've contributed to our enjoyment of races that most of us aren't able to attend, do to work, health, economy or worse mycarisbrokenatis, I have to say that we are quite spoiled that these people take the time to send us report and pictures that we can all enjoy. Please accept my humble thanks for your hard work. Thank You. Claude Ruel p.s you can never satisfy everybody.

For those who dont know. Alex is 15 and has been into racing and pictures of race cars since he was little. Every drag race, car show, rod run, whatever that I attended, Alex was there since he was of walking age. I always carried a 35mm Canon AE-1 camera (still do when I have time), which meant I had to pay for double prints of every picture! You should see some of his scrapbooks. He has spent a lot of time, trying different settings, snapping motion shots, adjusting for lighting, etc. I think he has a great eye for what makes a good photo.

BUT, this is fun for him. I dont think he is interested in going to work just yet, lol.

Thanks for the positive remarks,

Wade O

Wade,
Alex does a great job. I started when I was 15, and I was always around drag racing because my dad was an avid bracket racer before he passed away. A bunch of people on here have seen my site and my work. I am proud to be track photographer for No Problem Raceway for the last three years. I do sell mine, so mine does have the watermark across my pics to where nobody can steal mine. I'm glad I have surrounded myself with the great people at NPR, and also some of the best photographers in the country have helped me along the way (you know who you are if youre reading this).

Alex, doing a great job. Keep it up bud!
