Re: Little 500 pics
 

You mean Lennie Waldo? Remember that name? He's from your part of the world if I remember correctly.

Re: Little 500 pics
 

I don't think you could've cought our wreck any better. Don't get me wrong, I'm nauseated by them, but they are excellent pics nonetheless. Great work and thanks for sharing.:thumb

Re: Little 500 pics
 

Anyone notice where these guy's hands are?

Wonder what's running through their minds at this moment... :eek::censor:

Nice work Dave! :thumb

Re: Little 500 pics
 

Sure did. It's visible in most all pics from this crash.

Re: Little 500 pics
 

man awsome pictures. What could have been. All of these guys were raceing each other pretty clean. REALY CLEAN for a little 5, and then a stupid part brakes and takes out 6 of the best. Man I hope everyone comes back next year.

Re: Little 500 pics
 

When DOESN'T Dave take a good picture? He NEVER takes a bad one. If he does I'll pucker and plant one on the cheeks!

Re: Little 500 pics
 

Good point.

Re: Little 500 pics
 

Are both Jimmy and Eric holding their shields shut at the start of the crash? It apperars that both of their instincts were to let go of the wheel and grab the helmet keeping the shoelds down.

I've never seen a guys first instinct being to do that.

Re: Little 500 pics
 

I always heard storys that before arm restaints guys when going into a hard crash would tuck in their arms to prevent them from flopping around outside of the car. If you look at the pictures of the Stan Fox crash at Indy you can see him in that position...............this was my first thought here

Re: Little 500 pics
 

Dave once again you show why you are one of the best in the business of race car phototagraphry.

Re: Little 500 pics
 

I think they each thought the crash was over, started to open their shields then some more pile in from the rear.

Re: Little 500 pics
 

As fast as this crash happened, I don't think there was time for them to think it was over... Hell, I didn't realize there were 5-6 cars involved and it started right in front of me. :O:

Re: Little 500 pics
 

the other thing is you take you hands off the wheel before hitting the wall, so you don't brake your arm. Everyone tenses up some before when they are crashing, take you hands off the wheel so that you don't try to hold onto it when it makes its vilolant turn. You see this happen alot in the stock car classes with rookies. Once you take your hands off they have to go some where.

But I like what my dad said, Mccune and steel are holding there heads saying NOT AGAIN. Eric gordon is saying, damn it finally caught up with me.

Did anyone get a picture of heavron setting on top of his car in the pitts. Thats the face of a man not ready to give up.

Re: Little 500 pics
 

great pictures and great action shots. I knew I should have sold sponsorships for the bottom of the car :headbang:redflag:

Jacob did very good at the little 500...:respect::respect:

Re: Little 500 pics
 

Probably one of the fastest cars all night. Shame he got on his lid... :thumb

Re: Little 500 pics
 

I asked Eric about it, and yes, it's to keep the hands away from the steering wheel. He said that when you're convinced you can't save it and you know you're gonna hit, tuck in the elbows and get the hands clear of the wheel. I'd have to say that those pics are the best I've ever seen that captured this. I know I've never seen two guys doing it simultaneously. Consoli, Merritt,D.O, and Mills, among others, are artists for sure.:respect:

Re: Little 500 pics
 

I had a buddy not let go of the wheel. He ended up with a spiral fracture. He looked down and his hand was almost backwards. 3 sergrys, 2 plates, and several screws and its like brand new. it was more than a year before he was able to drive again.

Sam is Eric going to have a car for the 400?

Re: Little 500 pics
 

Does not appear so.:(
