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 drive, 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.

Start your engines!

Stunning perspective. I've always been a sucker for hot rods.

Just ordered it off amazon. If the inside looks anything like the cover, I will be pleased.
