Vintage car drag racing in Finland, July 2015. Many of these cars took part in similar vintage drag race event previous time some thirty years ago on this same track at Räyskälä small plane airport. Once again I wanted to bring out the atmosphere of the spectacle and make a good story with my event photos. I invite you to see and enjoy the rest of the shots and other events I've photographed on my website.
