There really is no media anymore. There is some half witted “fan” sitting in the stands who happened to take a picture and put it on twitter. Lots of “racing websites” are just some guy sitting in his mom’s basement trying to feel important. Local news is all just aggregated junk, and someone trying to be the middleman who thinks they are the “source”.
I posted a photo to facebook last week of one of our local sport stock cars who broke a front U-joint, sending the car catapulting down the track. Only after I watched the driver get out of the car with my own eyes, and I asked him if he was alright, did I post that photo! I have fortunately only photographed one driver suffer life altering injuries in my time, and he and I are the only two people who have seen those photos.
My thoughts are with his family. Let’s hope we don’t have to discuss how ignorant some people can be too often.
