Yes I cringe at the thought of an accident between the big saloons and the open wheelers too. A few years back at a Whittakers meeting a Series 4 Lotus 7 stalled on the start and was Liberachied (rearended) by a Jag XJS, luckily the Lotus driver wasn't hurt but it could have been very ugly

I thought that this picture was so good that it was worth showing again. A bloody good looking 1200, & a humble, family model four door at that, leads all the high priced exotica through the turn. I only hope it stayed that way. [don't tell me if he lost the lead, my fantasy would be crushed]

I am lucky to have a Team Datsun shirt from the owner /driver of this car which features this shot printed on the back. It is one of my favorite shirts.

The composition looks too good for a happy snap with the subject car in clear focus, positioned prominently, but just a litte off center. This gives us a better look at the wannabee's in soft focus behind. It looks like it was shot with a reasonably long lens so that the depth of field could be compressed for an even more dramatic image. These action shots are are also best captured with a motor drive camera, so i'm guessing it probably was a professional job. I gotta tell you it's an inspiring image & it makes me want to rush righ out to Wakefield park with a suitably prepared 1000 coupe & conquer all. Tell him that i loved the colour too.

Just popping in Joined: 2003/5/1 From: Posts: 11	Re: HE1278 in full flight at Manfeild. Thanks Wayne. Yeh Stew Wood took this photo at one of the Whitakkers meetings. Car has since had a A15 which did a 1.25.05 in March this year. Ha a small bearing failure and have now built a A14 with a lightened crank (1.5-2kg turned off it), but are still waiting to put back together. Too busy....
