This photo is of the south end of a northbound Ron Capps debuting the new NAPA-sponsored Dodge Charger Funny Car in January 2008 in Phoenix. Photographer Ron Lewis was behind the car when he shot this photo with his eyes closed during the launch. Ron found it hard to describe the five-sense overload he experienced but said it was all he could do to concentrate on taking the photos. "I have three- or four-hundredths of a second to react. Those cars get to be a tiny dot in the viewfinder real fast, and they don't come around on another lap," he said.
