wheelstander.ca - photos from Drag Wars 2009


These photos were taken at Drag Wars 2009, Grande Prairie, Alberta. There was a head wind, gusts were 50kph, at least.	Never one to say never, Rob tuned up the hemi to combat the winds, then during the wait in the staging lanes, the wind decided to die down.	This really cool leap with four wheels off the ground is Rob taking control of a very hard launch and Sheila Antoskos' lense being right on the mark.


Rare shot of a wheelstander driver's face through the floor	Getting ready for the run. Somebody willing to do the 1/4 mile on two wheels always seems to generate excitement.	Coming back from the run to LOTS of cheering!


Shooting off tee-shirts to the crowd. The people yelling the loudest got our attention but the wind made aiming difficult.	Taking Rob back in front of the crowd to receive his well-deserved applause, Scott jumped in to steer the big car.	Leaving the start line, with Grande Prairie in the background.
