Top Fuel Harley NHRA Photos New England Drag Racing

There is nothing quite like the experience of seeing a 1,000+ HP Harley Davidson top fuel racing motorcycle perform it’s burnout, stage itself in the starting lights then charge down the quarter mile drag strip at 200 MPH. The men and women who pilot these machines are fearless. There is no cockpit, no roll cage, no harness system. The rider and the machine are one. It takes a special kind of photographer to capture the excitement of professional motorcycle racing. It could be the drag races of NHRA Top Fuel Harley or NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle contests. It could be the MotoAmerica, Moto GP, , AHRMA (American Historical Racing Motorcyle Association), CCS (Championship CupSeries) or Loudon Road Race Series motorcycle road racing events. A special skill set is required of these photographers. The ability to capture and convey the speed of the machines and the fearlessness of the riders is paramount. I have had the challenge, the privilege and the experience of photographing all of these motorcycle speed contests. As an avid motorcyclist myself I have an inherent passion for all things two wheeled. Based out of Long Island, NY I am within a few hours striking distance of some of the most well known race tracks from the mid-Atlantic through New England regions. Some of the tracks I’ve had experience shooting at include Virginia International Raceway (VIR) , New Jersey Motorsports Park (NJMP), Maryland International Raceway, Raceway Park in Englishtown, NJ, Lime Rock Park in Lakeville, CT, Watkins Glen International in the Finger Lakes region of New York, Thompson Motor Speedway in Connecticut, New England Dragway in Epping, New Hampshire and New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS) in Loudon, NH. Whatever your needs for top notch motorcycle photography I’m here to help. Perhaps you’re a race team looking for promotional or public relations pictures to aid in your efforts to acquire sponsorship or to create promotional pieces to distribute to your loyal fan base of spectators at the track. Perhaps you are an editor for a magazine publisher or internet based racing web site. Perhaps you are a manufacturer of motorcycles, racing cars, sports cars, or aftermarket racing and performance parts or apparel. Whatever your objectives I am here to help you meet them with outstanding photography.
