Drag Racing is a down-to-earth form of motor sport
that is both accessible and affordable. It
fascinates an ever-growing community of fans around
the world.
This has partly to do with the sport itself, but
certainly also with drag racing´s very individual
brand of aesthetics when it comes to cars and the
people who srive, repair and admire them. Drag
racing is a mix of uproariously loud, primordial
displays of power and high-tech; it drivers love the
sport but flirt openly with destruction and putting
their lives in danger.
Spreed Kings presents photographs by Dirk Behlau
that skilfully capture the adrenalin-fuelled
athmosphere of suspense on and alongside the track,
as well as the eroticism of the machines and the
people who give their lives for a few seconds of the
ultimate kick.
