    Carnage

    Spent the afternoon at a Stock Car circuit near here. Lots to post but this one I think captures the atmosphere of the "Last Man Standing" banger race. Comments very welcome.

    First thought; it looks like a war zone. I guess my guess was close...

    Interesting shot. Needs more dirt clouds.

    Good atmosphere John...do you have to make a choice between putting a dirt mask on or a wet suit?

    Thanks for all the feedback.

    Manfred you would have thought so had you been there. I have never been to one of these before so the euphoria at some of the heavier collisions came as a bit of a surprise. Drivers and spectators just revel in the destruction.

    John, I'll see what I can do next time.

    Judging by the state of me when I got back, preferably both Izzie.

    Graham, they just bolt them back together. Some of them were wrecks from the start. I'd swear that one vehicle's wheels were each pointing in a different direction.
