NEW CLASS GUIDE — NITRO FUNNY CAR

Around 10,000 horsepower, nitromethane, header flames and some of the most spectacular machines in drag racing.

My latest **Drag Racing Class Guide** is now live on TobyLovelandPhoto, and this time I'm taking a closer look at Nitro Funny Cars.

From their early history and the engineering behind them to how the class works, what makes them different from Top Fuel Dragsters and what I look for when photographing them trackside.

As with all my Class Guides, I've combined the research with my own photography from Santa Pod Raceway to give you a closer look at these incredible machines.

Whether you're new to drag racing or have been following it for years, I hope the guide gives you something interesting to discover.

You can find the full **Nitro Funny Car Class Guide** on my website under **Drag Racing Classes**.

See you at the next start line.

🏁 **FIA EUROPEAN FINALS 2026 – THROUGH MY LENS** 📸

Another article finished and ready to share!

The FIA European Finals at Santa Pod Raceway was one of the highlights of my photography journey this year.

Three days covering one of Europe's biggest drag racing events, with press and media access, incredible machinery, great people and plenty of moments I'll never forget.

From spending Friday exploring the pits and meeting the teams, to finally getting trackside on Saturday, the whole experience was something special.

Then came Sunday. Rain, rain and more rain!

But thanks to the relentless work of the Santa Pod track crew, we eventually got some racing. And as the light started to disappear, I managed to capture some of my favourite Top Fuel photographs of the year, with flames lighting up the evening.

As much as I love Pro Modified, those Top Fuel moments will stay with me for a long time.

This article isn't just about the racing or the photographs. It's about the people, the atmosphere and what being there meant to me.

I've written the full story of my weekend, from arriving at Santa Pod to those final moments trackside.

**The full article and photography are now available on my website — TobyLovelandPhoto.**

Thanks to everyone who's supported my photography this year. It genuinely means a lot.

Dragstalgia 2026 One of those weekends I could photograph over and over again.

There’s just something about old-school drag racing. The cars, the noise, the people in the pits and everything going on around the racing itself.
I’m always looking for more than just the car going down the strip.
I want the little moments as well — the drivers, the crews, the staging lanes and everything that makes a weekend at Santa Pod what it is.

A few more from Dragstalgia 2026.

I thought I would share my website as I’ve put a lot of work into it over the last few months.

What started out as somewhere to put my photos has turned into a lot more than that. It’s become somewhere I can share everything I love about cars, drag racing and automotive culture, along with the stories and experiences behind the photos.

But I also wanted to say a massive thank you to Santa Pod Raceway for this year.

Getting the opportunity to attend events with media access and stand trackside doing something I genuinely love has meant a huge amount to me. I’ve learnt loads, met some great people and had experiences this year that I honestly won’t forget.

I also want to say thank you to every team, driver, page and person social mediapage who has shared one of my photos, tagged me, liked something, followed the page or even just stopped and had a chat with me at an event.

It might only seem like a like or a share, but when you’re trying to build something yourself, those little things really do mean a lot.

I’m still learning, still building so watch this space.

There’s loads already on the website from this year and plenty more I want to add over the winter.

If you get five minutes, have a look around and let me know what you think.

And genuinely, thank you to everyone who has supported what I’m doing so far. ❤️

Bikes, cars, wheelies, pit crew, portraits — here are a few more from my Santa Pod FIA Finals 2026 collection.

Santa Pod never disappoints. The determination of the racers, the teams and the staff is amazing. The feeling you get, the buzz.

Hopefully I captured a few good moments. I hope you all like them.

Welcome to drag racing.

NEW CLASS GUIDE — TOP FUEL DRAGSTER

Around 11,000 horsepower. Nitromethane. 300+ mph. Less than four seconds.

My latest Class Guide looks at what makes these incredible machines work, how Top Fuel has evolved, and what it's like trying to capture them through my lens at Santa Pod Raceway.

FIA European Finals — Part 1

Ten frames from an incredible weekend at the FIA European Finals at Santa Pod.

Top Fuel, bikes, promod, flames, crew and everything in between. This is what I enjoy about shooting drag racing — there’s always something happening, and sometimes the moments around the runs are just as good as the cars themselves.

Plenty more to come from the weekend.
