You're right about the chances of something happening. More money than brains I would suspect. This is what happened to one of those weekend warriors with a ton of money shortly after we got off the track in the Noble. See pic. The owner was laughing about having half a mile of tubing in his garage he was wanting to do something with. Now he'll take the parts from the wasted GT and build a project.

Lemmesee...240 mph; the angle of the dangle times the focal length divided by the square of the f/stop...hmmmmm...Bright sunlight...should be~ f/11@ 1/500th sec. to give really nice wheel blur with panning. My Bogen tripod with video head would be just right. But, carrying that beast; Bombsville!

Yeah, I prolly otta be doing other stuff, but what the hell, huh? I'm assuming that the orange/green critters are Lamborghini Murcielagos...but I'm not all that familiar with the supercar thing. But running 4 or 5 cars abreast from a standing start is...well, only a matter of time before someone blows a tire or a motor and then..... Wacked, man. RtR
