IHRA Photos in ref to NHRA photos

[Dragsinger]

The Autoimagery site has NHRA race photos. What is the IHRA equivalent photo site?

[Smitty]

I don't think the Auto Imagery considers IHRA worhty of them attending. To answer your question Bryan Epps of BME Photography does alot of IHRA stuff If I am not mistaken. I can't recall when I have seen Auto Imagery shoot and IHRA race.

BME photos are posted on the IHRA website.

competition plus.com shows i.h.r.a. photos ,when they send a crew to a event.

Dave Kommel of Auto Imagey is a one man show and the NHRA tour takes up most of his time.

Just to set the record straight....

It's not that we don't consider IHRA races worthy of attending. The simple fact is that the majority of our clients are mainly involved in NHRA. Also, I believe that Bryan Epps has an exclusive deal with IHRA to sell photos from their events. I think the last IHRA race we shot was sometime in the mid-90's.

We have 3 to 5 people at every NHRA national event and it takes a minimum of 3 to do everything that has to be done at each event. I'm the only one of the group that goes to every NHRA national event.

In addition to NHRA, we used to shoot IHRA, IDBA, AMA Prostar plus assorted independent events. I would love to be able to get to more races.....California Hot Rod Reunion, National Hot Rod Reunion, IHRA, asorted nostalgia events, etc, but I'm away from my family more than I want to be already, so....

That sounds like a lot of work. You guys are awesome at what you do. I aspire to be at that level some day.
