(Photos by Wes Allison) When the Nitro Revival started a couple decades back at Irwindale I was kind of skeptical. Not due to the fact the cars or the individuals involved weren’t legit, but for the reason that I questioned the spot. Though effortless, Irwindale is a small drag strip with a bizarre layout that is a wonderful place for a car or truck show but that isn’t always the very best for a authentic race. It turns out that this location is great for this party. Not only does it present fantastic present place, but the 1/8th mile keep track of is loads for placing on the type of exhibit that this even is all about. And with up shut grandstands and plenty of fence to hold out on the fans get a excellent check out of all the nitro automobiles cackling away.

Fortunate for us, Wes Allison headed in excess of to shoot pics and man did he get some good things. I am speaking epic shots that are the form you’d want to blow up and hang on the wall in your dwelling place. Just look at the sunset in some of these! And people nitro flames, occur on.

This celebration has turned into one thing genuinely unique and I’m unhappy I could not be there to verify it out in individual this calendar year, but as soon as again this clearly show just how tricky core Southern California motor vehicle culture is and we love it.
