    Default Holdens - They really do fly!!!

    Got this photo from bathurst... which I thought was pretty cool. Jason Richards loved it, thought he was going to die...

    Looks a lot more impressive from that angle than it did on the TV, would have been one hell of a ride!

    still don't understand why they put the car out after that - points maybe - but surely there would have been damage after that, bent stuff etc. And after the reported steering hassels!

    It was with a canon 20d, and a 200 mm lense. The Canon is an awesome piece of kit. Took something like 4500 photos over the weekend. Armed with a 4 Gig card, doesn't take long to fill up. Will post some more photos of spills if anyone is interested. Got to go through them all yet.. but know got some beauties..

    Jason Richards has seen the photos, he was pretty chuffed. He thought that he was going to die.

    he kept going after that for another 20 or so laps, until something else failed (steering of some sort i think it was) and ended up hitting both sides of the track on the top of the mountain, all for the sake of a few points.

    they crashed out with only a handful of laps to go too

    points yes, but I think its more the fact that after the race you can say "we were a competitor" especially in that particular race because it was the race for the Brock trophey ... although it was well out of reach after the crash its still nice to think you gave it everything you had ... plus there was so many cars out of the race it was a battle of survival and I think for drivers and teams to walk away and be able to say "we did the entire 1000km today" is a feat if you know what I mean
