Shiya Kimura, El Mirage Dry Lake Bed, May 18, 2018. . Achieving maximum speed doesn’t seem to mean huge horsepower or torque. I’ve never tried this myself so I can only hazard a guess, but it seems to be a state of balance between mental preparation, equipment readiness and proper technique. I often wonder what goes through drivers minds as they sit at the start line moments before leaving. I can only assume that it’s much like any professional athlete; pre-visualization, mental checklist and focus on the end goal, but that’s only a guess. I’d love to hear from any of you who have actually done this as I am fascinated would love to understand more as I seek to capture that time, that story of the moment before… . . . #elmirage #landspeedracing #motorcycle #speed #scta #drylake #moments #stories #film #analog #blackandwhite #hasselblad #fomapan #scottphotoco #dreamsofspeed #shinyakimura www.ScottPhoto.co (not .com) (at El Mirage, California)
