                                            By Mike..

       Another year has come and gone at KD DRAGWAY .

   Once again ,  I would like to thank  Darrell  and Sue Leadingham  for the privaledge of being Track Photographer at KD DRAGWAY for another year. 

    I would also like to thank all of you who took home a photograph processed by me - Mike - the old Photo Guy at KD DRAGWAY !

     I have a great stock of  Season Photos to bring you over the Off Season. 

AND a great Photo of the One and ONLY  " Pat McFadden and his Shiffnoid Rail "  helping to close out the year with a Wheel Stand that even our good friend "Charlie Knisley "  would be proud of !!!  Dragging AX  - (not Dragging ^*s ) at Pats top Speed of the Day of 109 M.P.H. down the asphault !  AND - I got it on Camera to share with all of you !!!!

     Also at KD's last event of the year were the " Morgan Brothers "  with one of thier fantastic looking and running Hot Rod - Ford Mustangs !  And bringing with them a very special guest  - being thier Mother.  I was told it was her first time seeing her Sons compete as well as her first time being at KD DRAGWAY .  Knowing the " Morgan Brothers "  from my first Season at KD, I felt it an honor them introducing me to thier Mother at their arrival of KD's last event of the Season. I guess that is just another way the guys and Galls have made me feel a real part of KD's Racing Family over the years....

    The last event of the year wouldn't have been complete with out Members of the " Alley Family " helping to liven things up.

     I wish there was room enough to put all of the names of the many people who come to KD as well as the ones who went home with a Photo from EVENT PHOTOGRAPHY.  The list would be endless, so I'll just say  a " GREAT BIG THANKS "  to all of you who helped  make My " EVENT Photography at KD  " a success in the Year of 2010. 

             I feel really blessed to be a part of the activities at KD

                   >>>  Again, I  would like to thank all of  you who have went home with one of my Photos ! 

 Note >>>>  If you should have any photos of a new project  or car that you would like to share,,,, send them to me and we'll get them posted for our Racing friends to enjoy !!!

 

                                           Take care & God Bless,

                                   Mike - The Old Photo Guy  at KD .....

Show Time at KD 2010.jpg

       The High Point of the day for me is when the " Bracket One Racers "   line up in the Stageing Lanes at KD DRAGWAY .

       I think that a line up like this can compete with any Cruise-in at any hamburger joint that you might go to.


And  " You Might Be A Red Neck "

Then >>  

Git ready to Climb The Hill !    

      This Hill may look a little intimidating,  but it has helped saved the bacon of several Racers over the years when a Brake Pedal has hit the floor board  or a Chute didn't open ! 

  With plenty of distance to get slowed down after the Finish Line,  there's also the help from  " Mother Nature "   with a thing called  " GRAVITY "  going up the Hill !  

AlsoRails well over the length of any Door Slammer and setting as low as 2 1/2 to 3 inches  from the ground can get up - over - then back down the hill with out putting a scratch on the under side ! 

     Now, that I've said all that,   Come on out and

                             Come Climb The HILL !
