JR’S DRAGSTER: ONE BAD HOMBRE

JR’S DRAGSTER: ONE BAD HOMBRE

We’ve already shown you that Randy Winkle and crew can build a mean Front Engine Dragster, a gangster ’57 Chevy Gasser and even an oddball Opel Kadett. When some of the Speedhunters crew arrived at Famoso Speed Shop last month they stumbled upon a treasure trove of feature material; so they did what they do best and [...]

SPACE KADETT: FAMOSO SPEED SHOP’S OPEL

SPACE KADETT: FAMOSO SPEED SHOP’S OPEL

One of the most fascinating things about working as a Speedhunter is taking a look at the way different types of cars are interpreted across the world. A car with a massive following in one part of world might be virtually unknown in another – and that’s most certainly the case with Famoso Speed Shop’s [...]

FAMOSO MOB: MEET THE GANGSTER OF DRAG RACING

FAMOSO MOB: MEET THE GANGSTER OF DRAG RACING

I was in full Speedhunting mode when I attended March Meet last month, scouring Famoso Raceway to bring you the best the nostalgia drag race world had on offer. Of course there were gobs of old school dragsters and gassers, but I was looking for that one special car that stopped me dead in my [...]

ANATOMY OF A DRAG CAR: MAZFIX MADE ME A BELIEVER

It’s a fact I’ve never really been a fan of drag racing. Hang on though and stick with me, because I am now – and I hope that you will be too after reading this. Drag racing is not something I’ve just discovered either: I’ve been regularly visiting dragstrips for over 15 years. From Santa [...]

CAR FEATURE>> 9SEC RB25 COMMODORE

CAR FEATURE>> 9SEC RB25 COMMODORE

Over the past few years I’ve lost count of how many drag races and drag cars I’ve photographed, but I’ve always been meaning to shoot one that was Australian born. That changed when I visited Mercury Motorsport, where I came across this stunning 1981 VC Commodore. Purchased two years ago by John Desmond, this Commodore is no [...]

CAR FEATURE>> THE CAMARO DOOR SLAMMER

CAR FEATURE>> THE CAMARO DOOR SLAMMER

While walking the rain soaked ADRL paddock of Texas Motorplex, I saw many amazing drag machines. Many sported very bright liveries that were either airbrushed on or had some amazing paint work. But for some reason, this flat black 3rd generation Camaro stuck out to me as the most badass looking out of the whole [...]
