randrew1 72 Posted June 10, 2006 It appears to be a combination of planning (getting credentials to shoot from the pit wall), luck (it's not every day something this momentous happens in front of you), and skill (exposure, focus, and composition are dead on). Link to comment

john falkenstine 1 Posted June 11, 2006 I believe its THE REFUELER who is actually encountering the accident here, getting a nice alcohol shower. I had this happen to me once back in 72. And it was Gasoline and NO nomex suit or helmet. Luckily somebody finally hosed me down. The image is quite good. For car pictures to be interesting, getting close makes a huge difference.
