Photo of the Day - June 20th, 2018

The Photo of the Day for today was shot at the Perth International Airport Public Viewing Area back in 2012.

Check out this link for more information on the fate of that jet.

Today's Photo of the Day is a long time favourite of mine. This shot, from the 2010 ANRA Summer Nationals at Bakersfield's Famoso Dragway, is one of the few shots I've had printed and mounted for myself, and hangs in my office at home.

Today's photo is the Mooneyes Dragster. I was lucky enough to see this car at Mooneyes USA in 2010 and it's just winding up a tour of Australia at the moment. This photo was taken yesterday at the Claremont Showgrounds at the 2018 WA Hot Rod and Street Machine Spectacular.

This photo is a throwback to the Southern California Timing Association's (SCTA) Bonneville Speed Week in 2010, and one of the hundreds of cool cars and hot rods that took to the salt as racers, support vehicles and spectators.

Photo of the Day - 14th June, 2018

Today's Photo of the Day post is a throwback to 2009. I was in California, visiting the San Francisco Bay area, and spotted this sign on Treasure Island, amongst other things, a former Naval training base. The "Genetic Reclamation Area" may not have been real, but wandering the streets of this semi-abandoned site, it certainly felt like it fitted. It also seemed only natural to position my old Cadillac belonged in the background of the shot as well.
