SOJOURNPOSSE: AMERICAN DRAGSTER: PART 2

American Dragster: Part 2
Photos and words by Janet Greco

I went back a second time, on 18th April 2009, to Atco Raceway. I wanted to see the junior dragsters again, and meet again all the kids and their parents.

I wanted to shoot it more from a human side than from a pure racing angle. Especially the way that the parents take care of the kids.

The parents take great care over the preparation of the kids and the cars prior to the race. Concentration marks the demeanor of the kids, as the start line approaches.
