So much fun at this year’s RPM Nationals. Enjoy the last few racing pics from the show.

Now of course we all came out to see cars speed down the runway but we also came to hangout with friends and make new ones. This wonderful hobby that I love wouldn’t exist if not for all the wonderful people that are apart of it.

Of course, there is racing at the RPM Nationals but there is so much more going on. There is the car corral filled with cool hot rods and customs and a wonderful swap meet.

Friday afternoon and Saturday morning the hot rods roll-in for tech. They lineup to get all the safety checks before the racing begins.

I tell everyone I know who’s into old cars and digs racing about one of my favorite events, the wonderful RPM Nationals. It’s an annual event on the airstrip at Santa Margarita Ranch. It's just so cool to see these 4-bangers and flatheads scream down the airstrip with the drop of the flag.

After a day of racing the racing continues. Once the eliminations are done and the trophies are handed out the fun begins.

Many a racer shows up for the chance to race their friends and to go down the track but that’s not the only reason. They are there to compete.

As a photographer I sometimes get to do and see some cool things. While at the RPM Nationals I get to start right at the startline and watch my friends and other racers stage, get right up on the startline and punch that throttle launching their cars down the track. It just such a blast being right on top of the action.

If you go down the track you’ve got to get back to the beginning and that means making your way down the return road.

Saturday at the RPM Nationals starts off the day with grudge racing and test and tune runs.

So many friends at this year’s RPM Nationals. Many new and many old friends just out having a goodtime watching 4-bangers and flathead hot rods running down the strip.

Now of course the RPM Nationals is about the racing but that’s not all that is going on during the event on Saturday.

It all starts on Friday at Santa Margarita Ranch as the participants roll-in setting up their pits and getting their cars teched and ready for RPM Nationals.

The last few from this year’s RPM Nationals. If you dig early cars powered by flatheads and 4 bangers going head to head in drag racing you need to put it on the calendar. It all goes down at Santa Margarita Ranch on their runway. And it’s not just drag racing. There’s a swap meet and car show. It’s just such a blast. I can’t wait for next year’s show.

Here are a few more from this year’s RPM Nationals. One of my favorite events every year. Held at Santa Margarita Ranch on their runway. Such a great time watching vintage rides drag race down the ranch’s runway.

Day 3 of photos from the RPM Nationals. A wonderful drag racing event featuring 4 bangers & flathead Fords. So much vintage horsepower and goodness all in one location.

So much fun at the RPM Nationals. I took a lot, a lot of photos. Welcome to day 2 of the photo dump from the fantastic RPM Nationals. A wonderful event of 4 bangers & flatheads drag racing.

Here comes a week of pictures of one of the most fun events around. A couple of weeks ago I hitched a ride with my buddy Shiney and we headed to the RPM Nationals. We headed up a day early for an easy ride and to hang out with some friends that were going to be at the event. The RPM Nationals is a flathead and 4 banger drag race.

Sadly these are the last pics from this year's RPM Nationals. Such a great time. I'm just going to have to keep flipping through the photos until next year's show.

Here are a few more pictures from the RPM Nationals. Such a great event and will definitely be on my calendar every year.
