Video I made

[Oh GAWD the Smell!]

lol...How are you at taking action shots at night?

A bunch of us are going to the track Friday night, and we LOVE pics of our cars doing burnouts

[BradR]

not sure about action shots at night, i guess it depends on the lighting because i don't have any expensive lenses with fast apertures to handle low light. i guess the flash would work but flash photos hardly ever look good

[Oh GAWD the Smell!]

Hey, if I can take some decent ones with 15 year old lenses on my Minolta Maxxum 7D...And I'm no photographer...You should be able to pull it off

[BradR]

i should go out to the track some time. i live right down the road but i've never been during the races, just during car shows

Well last night was a mess. They shut down racing for quite a while two times while ambulances hauled people away due to (non-racing) injuries. The second one left me sitting in the burnout box for 20 freakin' minutes having my tires cool down and making me forget my launch routine because some nimrod had too much to drink.

So you'd have been standing around bored out of your gourd for lengthy periods.

Might have gotten some good drunken-action shots in the pits though.

[BradR]

haha, drunken actions are usually the best ones

[Oh GAWD the Smell!]

They are until somebody gets hurt bad enough to need an ambulance and affects the good time of a thousand people or so. Plus, I don't know that it was actually the drunk that got hurt. It may have been somebody else.

F'n retard.

I'm hearing now that the other injury was in the pitts, and was not alcohol related. Somebody's throttle stuck open and they ran over a person. That's horrible and now I feel bad for being upset at having to sit around for half an hour.

[BradR]

wow that does sound bad, hope they are ok

[Oh GAWD the Smell!]

Oh man...It's getting worse. The guy was putting his car back on the trailer when it happened, and he ran over the person guiding him onto it as well as another person. They were both his daughters. I have no idea as to their condition.

[Karried]

omg. That's horrible!!!
