Signs of Life!

Hi everyone. Most of you will know me from the UK drag racing scene and will have come here via the link on my http://www.topendtales.com/ site. For those that have stumbled across this from elsewhere, I am a UK based Drag Racing photographer, previously working with http://www.eurodragster.com/ and now freelance.

Well its been over a year since I was able to really do any photography or internet stuff thanks to suffering from ME / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. A year down the line I am better than I was and am now able to at least get out and about a little bit and do some work with the camera.

So now I had some images to publish again (not many as I am only able to be at the track for a couple of hours, but its a start). That left me with a bit of a problem, unfortunately during my "year out" I had lost the free web hosting I have enjoyed for the last 5 years and although the site was still live I had no way of updating it!

Thankfully during my time off I was working with some good friends on another web project which has just seen the launch of the dedicated drag racing image library http://www.superchargedimages.com/ and off the back of that project we were able to rebuild and re-engineer topendtales so it could live again!

As the site was weighing in at 2gig in size, finding hosting for it that wasn't going to cost the earth was proving very difficult so All the old galleries have had to go for the time being. Hopefully at least some of them will be restored soon.

There is no particular plan for the blog, it will be a mixture of thoughts on the racing, some photography stuff and maybe even the odd medical update!

Cheers
Sharky
