Award Winning Picture of Hage

Re: Award Winning Picture of Hage

I quote:
Quote:
A strange incident on the sighting lap held everything up for a good half hour. As the Superbike field cruised round, two back-markers collided and Vince Whittle’s Ducati burst into flames, sending a fireball hurtling down the track. Nori Haga, guesting as a wild card from WSB, rode straight through it, apparently without batting an eyelid, as though he’d seen it all before. Huge damage was done to the track however, and it took armies of marshals and a street cleaning truck to make the track fit for action again.

Re: Award Winning Picture of Hage

how did he ride right through it, he looks as if he's pretty much right at the bike. sucks that the race had to be held off for so long cause Haga's tires must have gotten nice and warm after that.

Did the best I could and upsized w/Photochop to 1600. Still under 1MB...

If anyone does happen to have the original in a hi-res, I'd apprecciate it too.

Re: Award Winning Picture of Hage

It actually happened pretty quickly. The bike was already on fire from way behind Haga, and caught him in a hurry. Haga didn't even know it was coming. It just flew past him and accross him, he had no time to react , it was all over before he knew what happened. He rode through it unscathed.
