ADRL Drags Races

This past weekend, I was invited by the American Drag Racing League to be a photographer at their Spring National car races at the Cordova, Illinois drag strip. The raceway, located near the Quad Cities areas of Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois, has been in existence for over 40 years. 

The racing classifications that competed were: top sportsman, top dragster, junior dragster (2 classes), pro extreme motorcycle, pro nitrous, pro modified, super pro modified, and pro extreme. Many teams that normally compete in this league were missing; they were competing at the Extreme Drag Racing League's (XDRL) meet in Louisiana that same weekend. Even though these teams were missing, we witnessed fantastic racing and thrills galore!

My thanks to Jessica and the whole ADRL family for their kindness and professional race production efforts.
