Killer Gallery: The 2009 ADRL Season in PhotosBy Brian Lohnes Posted 01/29/10
If you're going to have a conversation about professional drag racing these days, it damn well better include the ADRL. As the fastest growing and (in our opinion) most exciting drag racing series in the US, the ADRL has been dominating the door slammer headlines for the last several years. We're lucky enough to be pals with Ian Tocher, the VP of Publications for the organization. He's a BangShift.com member as well! Ian was cool enough to supply us with a kick ass selection of photos from the 2009 season.
As you'll see in the 50 gallery photos, there are plenty of thrills and chills to be had at one of the organization's door slammer-centric events. You'll see some bikes in the photos as well. They have an insane motorcycle class to go along with the several door car classes they feature.
These photos were shot by a bunch of different photogs and they need to be recognized for their work. The photographers included: Blair Ball, Greg Bunsold, Earnest Burwell, Dave DeAngelis, Joe Lorenzini, Joe McHugh, Roger Richards, Gary Rowe, Tom Schiltz, Ian Tocher, Joanne Walter, and Mark Walter.
To learn more about the series, hit up the ADRL website.

Wow!!! Awesome photos!!
ADRL racing is waaaaaaay more interesting to me than NHRA racing. Nothing against the NHRA but the "run anything as crazy as you can bring to the show" mentality really seems to attract the down and dirty former streetracer types and drives them to accomplish things that seemed impossible in past years.
TWo thumbs up, this gallery rules!
