The world of drag racing has lost a great man...Otto Timms, owner of Paradise Dragstrip in Calhoun, Ga. Like a true legend , he fought a hard battle , and finally passed... but he did so on a race day. We all know he left this world listening to the sounds of his passion , he will be forever missed but never forgotten,
RIP Otto Timms

Thanks Michael , I did this for the Timms family ...I knew it would be special to them in many ways , one being that most the shots of Otto in this photo have never been seen before. I always caught quick shots of Otto , and just kept them on my computer...from day one I looked up to that guy.
