King of Quake

Photo by Matthew Lowell Thompson

Each Wednesday I'll be featuring one of the many photos that Matt has taken over the years.  It's a way for me to share some motorsports-related adventures.

So, to kick things off, here's a breathtaking photo that Matt took in August 2005 at Raceway Park in Englishtown, NJ. Here is Matt's explanation of the pic:

"I am starting things off with an image of the driver who helped send me on my path -- Mr. Bob Motz and his "Original Jet Truck." I first shot photos of the Jet Truck when I was merely a tween. This is by far the coolest client I have ever had! How can you not be in awe of a man old enough to be your grandfather who drives a Kenworth...a Kenworth with an F4 Phantom Fighter jet engine that goes upwards of 200 mph in the quarter mile. Over the years, I have shot the various incarnations of the truck, and each time it still scares the everliving (fill in the blank) out of me. Enjoy!"
