Default Need Drag strip pics

I need a picture of a drag strip, taken from far enough away to see the whole quarter-mile. I've taken over as web designer for the local club (Corvette Owners club of San Diego ) and it really needs some work.

The site is so boring now it is pathetic. I want to show all generations of Corvettes going down the strip. I can do it in Flash but it would be nice to have a drag strip picture to start with. All the pics I have of the tracks I've been to were taken from the Christmas tree area and that won't do.

BTW I am also looking for suggestions to IMPROVE that site! The previous webmaster wanted to keep it simple, and I think he made it boring instead. Let me have suggestions too please!

Thanks!

What's up with the elevator music? It's kind of retro (may appeal to the retired crowd)
It's the exact opposite of this site

That's the original theme song from the '60's TV show called 'Route 66'

Yes it will be updated too! Who's got some drag strip pics? NHRA's website really wasn't much help.

I found a couple of shots. I bet that you are looking for a perspective view of the whole track taken from the end though. (That's the image that I have in my head and I'm sure you have your own "exact" picture that you want!)

Here's a couple of LACR that I found. I think I also have Carlsbad, Bakersfield, Barona and Fontana kicking around someplace, too.

Default Yea that's what I'm a talkin' about!

I also have Carlsbad

Thanks! I have Cbad too but it is such a badd and ugly place that I didn't wanna use it! I've got a ton of Pomona shots from various years' Winternationals but there again, they were not what I was looking for.

Thanks mucho!
