    Re: Post your racin wrecks

    lol, yeah, that gets expensive too, but I think Roger can afford it. I like the shadow on this as it shows missing pieces, like right front wing etc.

    Re: Post your racin wrecks

    Here's a few I have. Some of them notosmuch wrecks, but at least guys who severely lost their direction on the track. One guy, getting set up with a flat bed, lost his engine 30min into the session.

    Re: Aftermath

    Well these are after a qualifying attempt at Indy, one that didn't go as planned. These were shot in the garage area.

    Wow ... bad day for the number 31 on this page lo. JSPhoto's shot a few posts up almost looked like the same car the day before in practice until I read the sponsors ads on the sides.

    Re: Post your racin wrecks

    Oh it's the same car....the damaged car I shot and the one about to meet the wall are the same car, just different days. My shot was after he hit the wall on a qualifying attempt late on day 3 of qualifying. He barely made the field the last day of qualifying, then wadded it up again during the race after a very good run. They spent all night fixing the car following the qualifying crash.

    Sure seems that way, just like a LA freeway

    Re: Post your racin wrecks

    the difference between a CORR and the LA Freeway is they are not shooting at each other at the CORR races......

    Re: Post your racin wrecks

    From tonights racing..... it helps if all 4 wheels stay on the car. In this one the axle broke and the tire came to rest 2 feet in front of me.

    Re: Post your racin wrecks

    1st race, 1st wreck. I went up to Skagit Speedway with JimmyB and shot my first car race. This was only a few laps into practice and I'm pretty sure this is not what he was supposed to be practicing.

    Re: Post your racin wrecks

    Nice start there Tad. One suggestion though would be to post the photos here so it doesn't take forever to load them, anyone with a slow connection won't bother to wait for them to load.
    As for the series you did pretty well and stayed with the car. Hope you had a fun night.

    Re: Post your racin wrecks

    I had a blast. Last year or the year before Jimmy got me a pit pass at a Winston West series race which was really cool. I didn't have a camera then so I just watched. What's the limit on posting pics? I couldn't find that posted anywhere. Another forum has a limit of 2 attached or 8 linked.

    The system limits the number to 5 with max 640 x 640 and 241.2kb so they load pretty quick.
