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.
