Weekly Photo Challenge: Arranged
First,
The air passes through this arrangement of throttle plates…
Combined,
With the fuel and nitrous oxide that passes through these neatly arranged valves and braided stainless steel lines…
The resulting,
Vast quantities of consumed hydrocarbons exiting through this arrangement of chrome tubing…
All hidden,
But for the hood scoop, under beautifully arranged droplets of paint…
Arranged,
On the starting line, all the fury of over 3,000 horse power, each, is soon let loose upon the world…
And if,
All of these arrangements come together perfectly, the winner will get to smile for the cameras in the winners circle…
Yes, I did think waaaaaaaaay outside the box on this one. 
Jeff…..two thumbs up for the picture…seems no one can beat your photos for this challenge

Thank you very much, that is very kind of you to say. Having looked through your blog, it’s easy to see you are pretty good with a camera yourself.

Hi Jeff…
Some pretty good images & the story behind them. Think it is hard to stop you when it comes to cars (-;

Thanks Rick. Oddly enough, even though my “real” job is as an auto mechanic, I’m not much of a car guy. When I do go to the drag races, 90% of my time is spent in the pit area admiring the “art on wheels.”

VROOM! Very cool pics, Jeff.

A-MA-zing. Was a sweet car. Gorgeous photos.

That was supposed to say WHAT a sweet car. LOL! Sorry
April 4, 2012 at 2:10 am
I do that ALL the time!

Well now an interesting spin on the challenge. I think guys are drooling.
Cars don’t do anything for me. BUT – I like how shining the chrome tubing is.
You captured everything fabulously,

Thank you. I’m not a huge “car guy” either, but every once in a while I find myself wandering the pit area at the local drag strip. I do feel that the sensation felt throughout your entire body when a top fuel dragster launches from the starting line is something that everyone should experience once in their lifetime.

I really unique take on the ‘Arranged’ challenge Jeff. Love it!
April 4, 2012 at 5:57 am
Thanks Jude, it was a bit of a stretch I admit
April 4, 2012 at 6:09 am
Hey Jeff, I don’t think that was stretching the challenge at all. I think it was perfect. Everything in those photos is actually arranged in a specific way for a purpose. Great job!

I love going to classic car shows in the summer and looking at all the old muscle cars and taking pictures of them. I’ve never seen a dragster up close before so this was a nice treat.

One of the things I like about drag racing is the pit access is part of the price of admission. At least it is at New England Dragway here in NH (pretty much the only pro level drag race venue left in New England). You can wander around the pits and get right up close to almost all the cars. A pro level drag race is something I think anyone who is interested on cars needs to experience at least once in their lifetime. The full body sensation that you feel when a pair of top fuel cars leave the line is beyond description. It literally vibrates you to the core. I love it!

Outside the box? Not at all. Beautifully done!
April 4, 2012 at 9:06 am
Wow… they are beautifully arranged!
April 5, 2012 at 2:27 pm
Superb entries Jeff! Love them all!

Ah, nicely done. You always get a bit further by stretching the boundary. The hue saturation in all of these is stunning. Favorite are the blue valves.

Thanks Brandon. “Stretching the boundary,” I like that. Sounds a little better than grasping at straws trying to meet the weekly challenge
April 12, 2012 at 5:32 am
what a unique interpretation! thanks for sharing.
April 13, 2012 at 2:29 am
“Unique,” I like that! Considering I was REALLY stretching my imagination to put something together to fit the theme, “Unique” sounds pretty good

Many years ago I spent most weekends hanging out at Dragway Park near Hamilton Ontario shooting pictures of rockets on wheels. Great work.
April 15, 2012 at 6:43 am
Thanks Glenn. It’s amazing what human ingenuity combined with steel and a LOT of hydrocarbons can do
April 15, 2012 at 9:13 am
Good eye. I love the processing a well. Those colors pop!
April 17, 2012 at 11:42 am
Thanks RC!
