Going to the drag strip, what lens to take
Mar 5, 2018 10:13:05 #
I have a Sigma 28-200 zoom that I usually take to Drag races and Road Course races as it allows me to only carry one lens and it works well to capture cars in the pits as well as on the track.

Todd is correct in all aspects, although media credentials have become harder to obtain, as the new rules from NHRA have limited them...I just returned from shooting the 60th March Meet, credentials were cut from 150 last year to 100 this year, and will settle next year at 50. Due to the live pay-for-view we were limited from the 60' line to approx. 150' on one side, 60' to 100' on the opposite side, no one under the 60' line; top end was actually better to shoot at....if you do happen to luck out with credentials, remember to keep your eye on any car that is running, and to watch both lanes, as it can happen quicker than you can react...be safe, have fun!

I just shot the 60th march meet as well on Sunday. My first time to a drag strip in a lot of years, at first I just followed others out onto the stip right behind the cars, got a few shots there before someone asked to see my media and nitro pass. then got told to stay behind the barrier.
