    Red face Machine gunning

    This is 8 of an 18 shot series of Jay Drake crashing during a midget race. Not the way Jay wanted to start the season in 2003, but it was a wild ride.
    Now, three years later Jay is running in an IRL support series.....could he make an appearnce in an IRL car this year? It would be cool if he did get a chance.

    This is just a few of 20 frames from this flip, taken 8 frames a second. The machine gun term is used by some in reference to capturing sequential frames like this.

    because it sounds like a machine gun when you unload. I totally agree with your title John.
