Photo of the Day - July 23rd, 2018

Andrew Searle is the subject of today's Photo of the Day, seen here at the 400 Thunder Nitro Slam event at Perth Motorplex in 2015. Here Andrew is seen performing a burnout in his Pro Slammer (essentially a Top Doorslammer running in IHRA competition) during the final round of Qualifying on Sunday morning. Sunday morning qualifying sessions are quite rare for Group 1 competitors at Perth Motorplex, and often provide an opportunity to shoot these cars under different lighting conditions than usual.

Photo of the Day - July 22nd, 2018

Today's photo of the day is from Northern Nats 2018, held at Springmount Raceway over Queensland's May long weekend. This is Glyn Smith in his Pro Mod Pontiac, running in Outlaw 10.5 Radial trim. Glyn's car is running a 700 cubic inch all-atmo big block and took him to the finals at Northern Nats.

Photo of the Day - July 20th, 2018

For the Photo of the Day today, I've gone back to 2010 and a road trip through the south western corner of the United States of America. The town of Beatty, Nevada, is on the outskirts of Death Valley, and a great spot to base yourself if you want to explore the valley, including 'Scotty's Castle' (that's a story for another day). Death Valley is also popular with automotive manufacturers, who like to send teams of test drivers and engineers to test aerodynamic packages and check temperature calibrations in their ECU's here. Some of those crews like to relax after a long day with a refreshing drink at the Sourdough Saloon in Beatty, and have left behind one or two items of memorabilia, which now adorn the walls of the Saloon.



In the photo above, amongst other things, are a Porsche Motorsport shirt signed by the team developing the Porsche 997 GT3 in 2006 and part of a Bosch banner signed by members of the crew testing the PL72 platform that formed the basis of the Volkswagen Touareg and Porsche Cayenne from 2010 to 2017.
