Oh no! This is only his 2nd flip and the 1st was a barely lol. He could have continued racing but with the car "biking" like that it was not an option. He went down to GA before us with another family and quit practice early because they felt he was coming close to flipping until they had the parts from us to fix it. I had told him he wasn't allowed to flip with out me there, guess he listened for once... This was his birthday weekend, his favorite track, and his first time practicing without either of us there. He did hang tough though.My uncle used to get $25 for each roll in front of the grandstands (back in the '50s). More than if he won the race.
It isn't focused on him in the #489 one, I don't know. I had tried the monopod earlier that day but it was restricting me so I gave it up. The rest in the race was in focus and I am usually pretty good about doing the half button since things happen so fast. My previous "noise" issues where when I was zoomed too far when a flip happened and the parent wanted it closer but I wasn't happy because it was grainey, therefor I thought it may have been the auto ISO being too high?I'm viewing on a laptop and can't see the focus issue. Is it when you crop? That will amplify any camera movement. Using a monopod? Could help.
Love the sequence though. With 3 or 4 frames per sec cameras, it is amazing now much action takes place in a second.
He usually has a great line there but the tires coming off made it impossible this time lol. I think the term is "biking", which if the judges would have seen it happening he would have been black flagged. This was our first "biking" incident, the track really got tight as it warmed up and several others had issues too. But yes thanks it does help because he doesn't have a good line at all in these pictures. We are also working on getting him to lean out more to help but he prefers to sit straight up and that is not ideal in Quarter Midgets.When rounding a turn, tell him to watch the left front tire and get as close as he can to the curb, without touching it. That's what caused the car to flip.
