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.

EXTREME PERFORMANCE Issue #65

Those close to me would more than likly be aware that i recently started working for Express Media Group as a staff writer for 2 of the best Performance Motoring magazine titles in Aus Zoom & Extreme Performance. Yes, someone has been crazy enough to let my dribble be published... Please don't laught too hard...
While my work does not start to flow through until issue 66 for Extreme, and 148 for Zoom if can't help but show you guys what a jam packed issue of Extreme we have hitting the stand at the end of the week, 30/4/10 to be precise. Just take a quick glance at the cover car and you will know what im talking about. Jeremy Callaghan's 427ci LSX powered LH Torana sporting 2 huge 82mm Turbonetic turbo's is one mean bit of gear and has stunning looks to go with the grunt.
Backing up Jeremy's Green Machine is a host of other tough feature cars and event coverage, as well as in the builds, new products and inductry news.

So make sure you bolt down to your local newsagent and pick up a copy. You won't wanna miss this one.

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.

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.

Dec 09 Fast Fours & Rotaries Feature

The new issue of Fast Fours Mag came out today, and is the 2009 Yearbook. The issue features my shoot of this clean Gen1 RX7.

2x the flash = 2x the fun. "Freaky Friday" gets strobed.

Since i first started using lighting with my photography, and before i got my media pass i have often said to people "why do the guys on the track use on camera direct flash?" In most cases, as with all photography subjects, it delivers a very harsh light that gives the impression of a spot light held pointing towards the car/person which results in some not too special final images. I do say in most cases, as there are a select few that are able to come away with some great images. Even with this way of lighting. I am however not one of those people....

Another Super Compact win for TCR Racing as WSID track temps soar.

Saturday 15/11 saw Rnd 3 of the WSID Track Championship roll by, and it was no real surprise to see a familiar face take home the Super Compact trophy yet again. However, nothing was made easy for the crews as mother nature yet again played her part. No rain this time, but the extreme opposite, i mean she must have busted the air con or something, it was hot as hell on the track... How hot you ask... Hows 154°F (68°C) sound? With dry wind pushing ambients into the 40's... No fun for the silly buggers trackside taking pic's all day either...

November, what a month its been....

Well, i havnt been posting much latley due to the fact that i have been run down with various other things to do,incuding getting the flu (i dont usually get sick often, but when i do its bad) and have been spending a lot of my time at the track with a camera in front of my face.

WSID Bracket meet cancelled due to bad weather...

Mother Nature must be a V8 Supercars fan wanting everyone to focus on the Bathurst 1000 as she rained down on the WSID strip and put a premature end to the days racing after only a hours racing.

Sport Compact Drag Racing at its finest

August 29-30 saw the 19th running of the Fast Fours Jamboree at Qld's Willowbank Raceway. This event is by far the biggest and most anticipated meeting in the Aus Sport Compact scene. With participants and spectators coming from all over Aus and even oversea's to see some of the biggest names in the scene battle out for top spot! PAC Performance, GAS Motorsport, the Rayglass crew from NZ and even a visiting Titan crew from the USAall keen to push thier cars to the limit for our viewing pleasure. What more could you ask for??

Oz Drag Racing at its best

Over the past month we have had 2 huge drag racing events in Oz with the biggest Sport Compact meet of the year the Fast Fours Jamboree 19 in late Aug at Willowbank Raceway QLD, and over this weekend the 2009 Fuchs Aus Nationals at Sydney's WSID.

Over the next week i should have images up in a gallery on my new website, until then, get to WSID tomorrow for the last day of drag mayhem!
