"NITRO SLAMDANCE"
LOUD FAST RULES...
With a salute to drag racing’s golden era of print, photo and racing action, “NITRO SLAMDANCE” is a modern, DIY throwback.
A winner circle shot and a few lines of scribble aren’t gonna cut it, we’re not here to photo dump.
The action, the camera and the pen matter- we’d rather fight than switch…live fast.
From A Devoted Drag Racing Enthusiast
As a devoted drag racing enthusiast, I am thoroughly impressed by the content presented in Nitro Slamdance’s online magazine. The publication offers a unique and immersive perspective into the world of drag racing, particularly through the lens of photographer Rick Hostage. His captivating imagery brings the high-octane atmosphere of events like the 2024 California Hot Rod Reunion (CHRR) at Famoso Raceway in Bakersfield, California, directly to the audience.
The magazine’s detailed coverage of various racing classes, including AA/Top Fuel Dragsters, AA/Funny Cars, and AA/Fuel Altereds, provides readers with comprehensive insights into the sport’s diverse facets. Notable highlights, such as Tyler Hilton’s victory in the Nostalgia AA/Top Fuel category and Bobby Cottrell’s championship in the Funny Car division, are presented with engaging narratives that celebrate both seasoned veterans and emerging talents.
Beyond race results, the publication excels in capturing the vibrant atmosphere of these events. Descriptions of the “Twilight Nitro” sessions and the inclusion of car shows, and swap meets offer readers a holistic view of the drag racing experience. The magazine also acknowledges the contributions of media professionals like Brian Lohnes and photographers such as Kurt Borden, Mie Ward, Pam Conrad, Frank Larrabee, and Peter Cottrell, whose work enhances the storytelling.
In summary, Nitro Slamdance’s online magazine stands out as a premier source for drag racing aficionados. Its blend of dynamic photography, in-depth event coverage, and appreciation for the sport’s heritage makes it an invaluable resource for anyone passionate about drag racing.
