Yeah, I can't believe how fast you can go on these things when they're not bolted to a stand.

I know, it was great, you can't really tell from this angle, but he's wearing a bright pink tie to match!

Yeah, I was laughing too, and i was afraid the guy was going to see me laughing and get p*ssed but he was totally focused so I got the shot w/o incident.

The guy has the correct foot floored (i.e. the throttle foot!) but his hand position on that steering wheel, ptth! Man does that bring back memories...

Very nice color balance in highly mixed lighting.

How did you process this image with regard to color balance? Or were you just fortunate?:):

I got lucky, this one came straight from the camera!

Here's the EXIF Data, for some reason I've found that in mixed lighting like this, "direct sunlight" works really well, but there were a couple of moody, professionally lit shots at the show that looked better when I switched the wb to "incandescent" in post. Also I use a diffuser on my flash...
