Anyone else have and real close calls, with cars, players or something else? In both of these vids I am the big bald guy closest to the track. http://tinyurl.com/y8gewjj http://tinyurl.com/ylaczoj  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I remember back in the '90s shooting a USAC midget race at a dirt track in Bakersfield, CA where the driver of the pace car seemed to take great pleasure in scattering the photographers every time he came off the track after re-starts.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

A collision is a Near Miss, *BANG* "look they nearly missed"  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (1) | Huh? (0) | Off Topic (0) | Inappropriate (0) |   Definitions Add your comments...
