• My good friend, Mark Riker, of REVCO Photography fame introduced me to the world of the National Hot Rod Association this weekend which was the Lucas Oil NHRA Winternationals hosted by the In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip • Over the years I have seen television specials on the sport of drag racing, yet Saturday was my first live viewing, and of course with my Sony camera system in hand. It is difficult to comprehend, or even describe, the magnitude of power and ferocity that these vessels produce. I literally set my shutter speed at 1/6400 to capture the movement of these cars. Upon launch, the Top Fuel dragsters are producing 12,000 horsepower and within 1/4 mile delivering speeds of 336 miles per hour. As I stood literally within a few short feet of these machines, the energy, sound and vibrato dumped through my entire body and nervous system like no other sensation I have ever encountered. The intensity is as if you are actually strapped to the roof of the race car and you are aboard for a ride on a rocketship. The rate in which the race cars accelerate and disappear while creating their own heat wave is staggering!! • To the kind folks at the National Hot Rod Association and Mark Riker, thank you so much for sharing your wild world of speed!! • To all you bad-ass men and women that build these cars and drive them, mad respect!! Photographing and witnessing cutting edge technologies and the crews committed to success is truly inspired… every competitor out there is legit, from Top Fuel, to Funny Car , Pro Stock, Sportsmen, and Top Alcohol. @revcophotography@nhra • @sonyalpha • photographs: Jon Ortner • photo of me: Mark Riker
@jonortner doing things on motorcycles that shouldn’t be done ! Jon relies on the consistency of his @tbtracing suspension to have full confidence and control . #tbtracing #motorcyclestakeuseverywhere #suspensionmatters #honda #adventurebike
The 2-Stroke World Championship at Glen Helen Raceway is the perfect showcase of Josh Mosiman’s (171) mastery of small bore, high performance motocross. The racing is intense, the riding is spectacular!! • Photography: Jon Ortner
• Sunrise ‘Saturday at The Glen’ always my favorite way to start the weekend!! • Rolling with the good guys from Motocross Action Magazine aboard the premier TBT Racing Yamaha YZ450F • A Dan Alamangos photograph 🤩
• From my view through the handlebars… modern ergonomics, controlled power, a compliant chassis, an improved shock and fork package, incredible Brembo brakes and Dunlop tires very nicely combine to make the 2026 KTM 450SX a competitive race machine right off the showroom floor • Mad respect for professional photographer Mark Riker shooting first moto race action during Saturday at The Glen • @mark_riker_revco@motocrossactionmag@glenhelenraceway@dirtbiketv1@ridedunlop • #motocross
