I was driving past Sharky's on 140 when I noticed a sign advertising WVR Racing Today! I had my camera with me, so I thought this would be a good time to see some racing and practice some photography! It was my first time shooting action, and I failed pretty miserably because I had the wrong lens with me and, as a result, had to have a slow shutter speed in order to properely expose the photos.. I had the ISO cranked all the way up to 1600, which is max on my camera, so my last resort was shutter speed. It was about dusk when I arrived and was dark when I left, so it was some tricky lighting I was dealing with for the first time.
Anyway, here's what I got:
And the winner is..
This was a false start because one of the riders jumped the gun.. To indicate this, the flagman simply drops the gren flag, instead of waving it. The rider who jumped the gun had to start about 10 feet back once they restaged.
"Rubbing's racing.." Evidently, #17 has been watching a little too much Nascar, because he nudged this guy, #57, going into the first turn and wiped him out.. You can tell he's not happy about it!
Here you can see #17 in the very left side of the screen getting back in the race after going really wide due to clipping his fellow racer. You can also see #57 trying to start his bike back up.
Here you can see the felled rider taking off from the accident:
Then they had to resurface the track with this old beast:
The start:
More to come....
