Drag Racing is a down-to-earth form of motor sport that
is both accessible and affordable. It fascinates an
ever-growing community of fans around the world.
This has partly to do with the sport itself, but
certainly also with drag racing´s very individual brand
of aesthetics when it comes to cars and the people who
drive, repair and admire them. Drag racing is a mix of
uproariously loud, primordial displays of power and
high-tech; it drivers love the sport but flirt openly
with destruction and putting their lives in danger.
Spreed Kings presents photographs by Dirk Behlau that
skilfully capture the adrenalin-fuelled athmosphere of
suspense on and alongside the track, as well as
the eroticism of the machines and the people who give
their lives for a few seconds of the ultimate kick.

Drag Racing ist eine bodenständige, für jedermann
zugängliche und bezahlbare Form des Motorsports und
fasziniert eine stetig wachsende Schar von Fans
auf der ganzen Welt.
Dies hat mit dem Sport selbst zu tun, aber sicherlich
auch mit der ganz eigenen Ästhetik der Autos und der
Menschen, die diese fahren, reparieren und bewundern.
Drag Racing ist ein Gemisch aus brüllend lauter,
archaischer Kraftprotzerei und High-Tech, aus
liebevoller Hingabe und dem flirt mit Lebensgefahr und
Zerstörung.
In Speed Kings fangen die Bilder von Dirk Behlau diese
adrenalingeschwängerte Atmosphäre auf und neben der
Rennstrecke gekonnt ein. Man fühlt förmlich die
Spannung, die Erotik der Maschinen und der Menschen, die
ihr ganzes Leben für ein paar Sekunden des ultimativen
Kicks geben.

"It's a Satanic drag thing you wouldn't understand! It's
not what you think it is. It's pure power, adrenaline,
danger, suspense, Pin-Ups, passion and soul. Call it
Rock'n'Roll. Die Gestalten proudly present Speed Kings,
