Racing: Kondofrey Drag Challenge 2012 Sofia, Bulgaria

At a short drive from Sofia stands  Kondofrey airfield which has been converted to a drag racing track. It's closeness to the capital makes it the perfect place for competitive drag racing in the country .The main runway is really long and the asphalt is smooth an provides loads of grip (few 4WD cars survived a full power start).
I went shooting the first day of this two day event. The turnout wasn't bad but I expected a lot more cars to show up. Many of the cars that I knew from Bojurishte were nowhere to be seen, but the fresh competitors had a lot to show.
For me the star of the day was a VW Golf III that ran very low 11s consistently with full interior and body kit. Other notable cars were the two Audis from team Drag Power, a Subaru Impreza Cosworth and a Lada from Pernik that had a rather sexy intercooler placement.

The heat was unbearable but the organizers from UPG had it all figured out: tents! big ones, with enough room for everyone. Also the catering was delicious and really cheap for an event like this.

My only complaint is that the music was too loud. I haven`t come to a scorching airfield to hear some 80s disco. I want to hear the engines!
