Long time no see

I just realized i havn't posted up anything new on here for a while. My life has been super hectic with a wide range of different work and personal adventures. A few shoots here, event coverage there and my fiance and I even set a wedding date finally, so it's only going to get busier from here on in.

Zoom Magazine issue 148 - My first cover shoot

I don't know how i forgot to mention this on here but this months issue of Zoom features my first cover shoot on a cool twin turbo RB-powered 240Z and not one, but two other full feature shoots. Needless to say I'm pretty happy to see it on the stands and the feedback i have received so far has all been good.

This 9sec R33 Skyline from Wollongong workshop Motortech Racing is one of the best i have seen. Extreamly subtle looks do a great job of hiding the beast beneath.

A dynamic Duo indeed. These two angry rotors from Sydney Workshop SDR Motorsports are as tough as they come.

So make sure you get down to your local newsagent and pick up a copy of the mag pronto.

Driving Sports Twilight Drifting - Eastern Creek Raceway Sydney

After hearing about the Driving Sports Inc 'Twilight Drift' event from a few work mates i thought i would head down with them to check it out. Held at Eastern Creek Raceway, this twilight drift event featured 3 drift arena's including the wet skid-pan or 'Peanut' as they call it, a figure 8 and the advanced course, turns 4 to 12 on the main track.

2010 Wold Time Attack Challenge attracts world-wide audience

Well what can i say about the 2010 World Time Attack Challenge? It would have to had been, without a doubt the best motorsport event i have attended so far. The cars, the racing, the atmosphere. It was amazing and an event that will set the bar for any future events that may follow.

2010 Nitro Champs raises the bar for ANDRA Pro Series drag racing

The 2010 Nitro Champs held at Sydney Dragway will go down as one of the greatest ANDRA Pro Series events to date. After a shaky start to qualifying on Friday the clouds parted and the sun shined bright for two days of some of the best drag racing i have witnessed and from the feedback i have heard i am not the only person that feels this way.

2010 Haltech Compac Attak - Sydney's premier Sport Compact event

Well people the wait is finally over. I have sorted, processed and uploaded all my images from the 2010 Haltech Compac Attak event (all 1107 of them) held at Sydney Dragway last month, and what an event it was.

Compac Attak is Sydney's premier Sport Compact event and it just keeps getting bigger and better every year and fortunately for us, so does the weather. At this years event we were welcomed with clear blue skys and perfect weather for racing.

Up-Up & Away, it's another Full Throttle Friday!!

Never underestimate a Full Throttle Friday meet at Sydney Dragway. What started out looking like a rather poor attendance turned into a night of high flyers, skatey passes and 2step flamage. Once again proving that the Friday night meets are not to be missed if your a drag racing nutter like me.

Long time no see... Long overdue 2 event drag update.

Yes i know, it's been like a month since i last uploaded new contecnt onto the web and blogged about my travels to the track but you will be happy to know i have just uploaded images from the 14/3 Track Championship and 27/3 Full Throttle Friday meet.

Hit the 'Read More' tab for a few highlights from the 2 events.

Mechanix Wear marketing

Recently i was given the opportunity to do some marketing work for a company called Mechanix Wear. They wanted to get some images of some crew members from certain race teams using thier range of work gloves, with the big focus being the Auto1 Top Fuel team. The image above ran in the April issue of Street Machine Magazine and will also be used in an up coming Auto1 catalogue.

Last FTF for summer a huge hit!! Perfect evidence that we need more of them...

Well what can i say, this most recent Full Throttle Friday meet was one of the best, if not the best i have attended. An awesome number and selection of cars racing throughout the night, together with some Top Fuel header flames, skatey passes, sparks flying from under cars and a few new and exciting racers out testing.

Summernationals rained out....Again....

One of the most weather cursed events on the Aus drag racing calender would have to be the Summernationals. Its has been 5 years from memory since the event has been run in its entirity over the full 2 days. Maybe it's just me, but i think it's wierd to have the words 'Summer' & 'Rain' together, maybe they should change the name to the Wetnhumid Nationals instead...

Pre Nationals Testing

With the previous weeks Testing cancelled due to bad weather, and the Summer's just a few days away Sydney Dragway decided to let the racers test out the cars and gather valuable data for the weekends event in place of the usual Wed night off street meet.

*BLinG bLiNg* ShowCar Sunday Shines...

If your a big fan of candy paint, huge chrome rims, leather interiors and onscene amounts of speakers & monitors then this was the show for you. Not my usual scene but wanting to get out there and cover something a bit different i made the trip to Rosehill gardens (a fairly prestigeous horse racing facility) for the event.

Full Throttle Friday FTW!

Oh how time fly's when your havin fun, or at least waiting till the next meet comes around......

Sydney Dragway opened its gates for another 'Full Throttle Friday' meet that drew some great cars, all ready and willing to get on thr track.

Sport Compact Drag Racer Mag Feature

The long awaited issue #4 of Sport Compact Drag Racer Magazine hit the stands today and is feature packed.

In this issue is the shoot i did some 9 months ago for the magazine of the Oak Flats Muffler Men RX3 Coupe.

2010 Kicks off with "Full Throttle Friday"

What better way to start off the new year with a Sydney Dragway "Full Throttle Friday". Numbers were a bit down on usual, but this only gave the racers more runs, and gave me more chances to get the shots i was after.
