Hahha it was a very gentle roll... probably more gentle than his landing from that jump!!

Very nice pics! Specially the first and the last one...You have to be quite lucky to get these shots...

OK here's some more of the trucks since they were the Main Event as it were

It's a fantastic track!

Brands is by far my favourite UK track. Especially the GP track.

I can't believe I missed the trucks. I went last time they were on ('95 or '96?) and it was fantastic! I'd been planning to go all year, and forgot at the last minute.

nice pics. what camera you got?? lens etc??

Canon EOS350D, with a Sigma 50-500mm, and also a Canon 55-200mm USM for the closer ones that don't need so much zoom

Ah... watercooled... wondered what that was (assumed it was tyre smoke, but it made no sense!)

I went to brands whenever there're races last year, historic GP, bikes, WTCC whatever that goes!

Should be quite a while before I have a chance to get back though.

nice, im saving for a 400d at the mo, 35mm is getting expensive.

Cool, I've been there loads this year and quite a few times last year too! the WTCC was really good! Historic stuff is excellent too.

Nice bit of kit the 400d!

The missus bought me a 400d, 50mm lens, 500mm lens, flash grip, tripod, card....

And I told her to take it back!

Bah women eh!

Those legend cars are sweet, we have them up at the 3/8ths Oval here 1 hour away

Quote from Robster230 :

I know, I don't know where I get them from!

Those are some spectacular shots! So nice and sharp, too. Well done!

Brings back fond memories of watching truck racing at Sydney's Oran Park when I was young.

These Legend class cars are missing one thing... a gangster suit passenger with a Tommy Gun.
