Default BIG Wagon Wheelie - I almost got hit! :)

This is the closest call I've had filming at the track before, and I wasn't even standing that far out! It looks and felt a lot closer from my angle, you'll see in the second angle he was a good 5 feet from where I was (I was in front of the photographer you can see)

Is it me, or does he always seem to hit the wall or crash at the WSN? That's the guy with the scripture on the rear window, right?

Bud, you've got some ***** to stand there like a man and get the shot. That's a Hot Rod submission for sure.

That was close. What the hell was sparking from transmission so bad? Was that the torque converter?

He almost took out the guy in the other lane last year. There's a video of it somewhere online.

I don't think that car has left the WSN under its own power in years. lol

Crazy man! Be careful out there. I find that I'm not aware AT ALL when looking through a lens.

Yeah that happens, you're so focused on the camera and the subject you important things like getting out of the way become 2nd priority
