Minus its fiberglass body this is the bones of a funny car seen at the NHRA Virginia Nationals held at the Virginia Motorsports Park in Dinwiddie, VA. Running on Nitromethane fuel (at one time this was used for rocket fuel) and sporting over 11,000 horsepower a good run down the 1/4-mile track would be in excess of 330 MPH and less than 4 seconds. As a spectator the extreme noise, heat, smell and shock waves that these cars leave behind when they make their run is indescribable. As the saying goes, you would have to be there to believe it.
John Force, a legend in drag racing was driving one of these funny cars (not the car above) on Sunday at this track when he had a horrific accident shown in the video link below.

I shot this photo of the evening sun glowing through a fiberglass barrier on a pedestrian bridge in 2012 with my Nikon D60 and an old film camera manual Nikkor lens (can't remember which one).

This is a photo of my reflection on the fiberglass hull of a fishing boat under construction that has been painted with high gloss black paint.
I first photographed this guy 17 years ago. The place was out of business then, as it is now. And the steer looks as good as ever. Here's to 17 more years of silent bovine observation.
Sometimes the random things that come rolling through your day make you just stop and smile. I saw this beautiful vintage ‘Vette as its occupants were out for a Sunday drive in Midtown Memphis.
This car which somehow looks like a marshmallow on wheels, is a real rarity, a Kaiser Darrin Roadster. The Kaiser Darrin was an American sports car designed by Howard Darrin and built by Kaiser Motors in 1954. It was one of the first cars with a non-corrosive fiberglass body. Another interesting detail are the sliding doors. When you open them they slide on tracks into the front fender wells behind the front wheels (if I think of the narrow parking lots in our cities I sometimes would appreciate sliding doors on my car too). Only 435 production Darrins and six prototypes were built and those which still exist today have a value of US$ 50,000 - 90,000 depending on their condition.
Fiberglass body made for a Crosley chassis during the fiberglass sports cars boom of the fifties.

I noticed this strip of fiberglass that had been washed up on False Harbour Beach, and held it up to be backlit by the evening sun.
Avez-vous soupçonné que ce n'est qu'un mannequin de fibres de verre ? Et oui tout le monde peut se tromper :-)
Did you suspect that it is just a fiberglass model ? And yes everybody can be wrong :-)
