Mikey, do that. It can easily be done. Just find someone with a camera, that allows them to keep the shutter open as long as they want it. Then get a dark room, a single bulb LED flashlight(it wil but out a much finer line than a flashlight), and then set the camera on a tripod or table or somewhere steady and solid. Open the shutter, and start drawing. You have to remember where you start and stop your lines at, as the light doesn't stick around to show you LOL. When your done, close the shutter and view your work. I actually got the Acro in 1 shot, but everything esle I did that night took several tries to get right, and line up all the light.
here is a good video showing how it is done. You could have a lot of fun with this one Mikey. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IS-DBZEXcA

i dunno i think its kinda sic just seeing the tail lights and the sparks flyin

Matt, I totally figured out how you can get your truck in a pic like tha, using your camera. I am assuming that you are using a point-n-shoot type camera? Anyways, do what you did for that pic, just mark a place to stop, where you will be in frame. Then just stay there till the shutter closes. Should be a nice crisp pic of your truck with drag lines , and tail light streaks behind it.

Matt, I was doing some studying the other day and i read that setting the flash to go off on second curtain will expose your truck at the end of the light trails...I havent tried it yet, but plan on trying it out at Camp n Drag...figured I would pass that on for you to try out...
