If you were a drag fan of the 1970s, there's a good chance Steve Reyes was a large contributing factor to your passion. Reyes grew up in the drag racing rich confines of Northern California and early in life filled a void of chronicling the sport on film. He was an improviser. Wherever he went, he succeeded.
Reyes was given sound advice from his first credential, "Kid don't get run over." And, he never did despite coming close on occasion. When he was denied a starting line photographer pass in Bakersfield, he turned a top-end exile into a way of life. The first dragster he shot unloaded the top end of the engine, and the rest is history.
Reyes had a tendency to be in the right place at the right time. In this episode of Legends: The Series, go behind the scenes with one of drag racing's iconic photographers. He'll share the upside of photographing drag racing to the downs of watching friends either maimed or killed in an accident. As always in this series, we want you to walk away with an understanding of what made Reyes a legend.
