While it certainly should come as no surprise based on his history, Mark Micke dropped the hammer and absolutely demolished the score boards during the Mid-West Drag Racing Series (MWDRS) at 131 in Martin, MI over the weekend. It left some scratching their heads in utter disbelief.
While I know that there are a lot of you that come by E3xtreme for your drag racing fix, if you have been around a while you’d know that we also cover car shows, car audio events, and other forms of motorsports and car culture.
For years I have discussed the importance of bringing back the entertainment value when it comes to drag racing and for some it falls on deaf ears, but for others like the Bader Family and their track, Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, Ohio it is all about the entertainment and putting on one hell of a show for the fans.

As with any sport there comes a time when your legends hang up their shoes and move on from the sport. When that time comes, we expect another start to rise and bring the product to the masses and carry the torch.
There are a lot of times within our industry that change is inevitable. Whether that change be things like going from quarter mile racing to eighth mile racing, getting your news from a magazine to getting it from the internet, and more. The one constant through time has been still imagery though, but has their time and relevance started to fade into obscurity?
Lately I've been seen a lot of opinions regarding Kyle Larson and Max Verstappen.
Apparently Kyle stated that with the exception of open wheel racing, he is a better all around driver than Max Verstappen is. This has created a little bit of a fire storm in the motorsports community, with people taking sides if you will.

We in the drag racing community like to tout that it is a family affair. The stories of fathers and sons building cars in the garage together and going out racing on the weekends. The Jackson family has shown the world that these aren’t just far fetched stories or myths, it’s a way of like for this father and son duo.
What has seemed like forever trying to get our schedules worked out so I could see this beauty, finally came to fruition this week in Jackson, TN. For months, Marty and I have discussed doing a photo shoot of his beautiful new N/T Vette and when he messaged me on Tuesday I told him I’d be there on Wednesday to snagged some photos of it.
If you follow Pro Mod on a regular basis, you will most likely think that it’s just a bunch of new or old Camaro bodies toss on some tubing. Now, if you are more than a casual fan, and watch series like Mid-West Pro Mod, PDRA, or NMCA, you will see a much larger variety of high performing hotrods that don’t fit that mold. Brian Lewis’s ‘41 Willys fits the bill.

Yes this is a little bit of a rant, and it won’t just apply to a certain age group, though I do find this with the younger age demographic, and there is a specific reason for that. So let’s jump right in.
The gift-giving season is upon us, and with so many forced to shop online, I thought that this was a perfect time to address what to get that special someone for the holidays.
As most of you know, a professional photographer can become very gear happy and get into this phase where they feel the need to have the newest and “greatest” gear on the market. With that in mind, I have decided to start reviewing my own personal gear over the coming months. The Nikon D850 is what I am going to lead off with.
While a lot of you are snowed in on this wonderful Thursday, there is still news to report, and in our opinion here at E3xtreme it is big news for the drag racing world.
