Sign Language of Drag Racing
Read more: Sign Language of Drag RacingAs it happens, once you get baptised by nitro, you want to come back again and again. While feeling nostalgic I’ve made this small project during the events I shot at Hockenheim, because I was fascinated how every team was “signaling” to their driver. You can really feel the difference in relationship that driver has with crew members: some are family, others keep a more professional approach; few may be nervous, others too eager to win. I came up with a name for the techniques as well 😀 Puppy was just this size technique Move along, nothing to see here…

American Beauty Car Show 2018
Read more: American Beauty Car Show 2018Here’s a massive gallery with 100 pics from the annual American Beauty Car Show in Haapsalu. I love coming to this small town during the event. Fact that only American cars (and most of them old) are allowed to enter the Old Town makes it a bit like Cuba, if you understand what I mean. It was the first time I came to the show on Friday (ran through it in one hour and drove 3h further to Rally Estonia). I was able to go inside the castle before the general public, so made few clean shots. Also the evening…

American beauty car show 2017 // Drag Race
Read more: American beauty car show 2017 // Drag RaceDrag Racing in Haapsalu is a long-standing Estonian tradition. It’s even more intriguing to experience it when only traditional American muscle cars and dragsters are around. American Beauty Car Show’s finale is always celebrated at a 1/4 mile strip and is considered more of a show event that a competition.

NitrolympX // Hockenheimring / 2016
Read more: NitrolympX // Hockenheimring / 2016It’s nice to see you again Hockenheim. Small town with buildings that don’t go higher that an average tree. At first sight it seems that the tower that belongs to the fire station is the highest man-made structure in the region. If you arrived to Hockenheim on an appropriate weekend you’ll hear some loud noises from the distance. They will come from the forest that is on the edge of the town. Those be racing car or bike noises that are amplified even greater by the huge structures of the Hockenheimring complex that puts the fire tower into a different,…

GUEST POST // REMI MÕNGELIUS / NITRO NATIONALS ’15
Read more: GUEST POST // REMI MÕNGELIUS / NITRO NATIONALS ’15Another week, another ”narrated gallery” from me. Well.. Where do I start? I guess I could start from last Friday. I woke up to a phone call at 10 am, it was my brother calling me. ”Hey, you up?” My answer was no. ”Pack your bags, we’re going to Alastaro.” My answer? ”Sure, call me when you get here.” Not your usual run of the mill story when it comes to motorsport events. Before the Nitro Nationals, I had never been to a ”real” drag racing event, so here it goes – my experience. Bear in mind though – I’ll…
