I hadnt! I later discovered that my throttle was sticking ever so slightly you can hear it and see the rev LEDS spike just as I hit the brakes.

What you dont hear as I lock up is me screaming "Get out of the fBTDing way!" Sadly John couldnt hear me either and managed to get a brilliant shot of me which now sits proudly in my living room.

A close call!

With the usual PH apologies for the Wail link, all this talk of close calls reminded me of this :-

After doing a fair bit of rally marshalling I have decided that all photographers think they are indestructable, so when they stand somewhere fking stupid I will tell them once that it is stupid to stand there, if they ignore me, well as a marshall I can only advise so if I have told them and they ignore me and get run over thats their own bloody stupid fault.

And that I think pretty much sums it up. You're responsible for your own backside. If you don't look after it, don't expect everyone else to do it for you.

A few years ago at a Snetterton BTCC meeting, I did see a snapper almost lying down, about 5ft from the kerb on the inside of Riches corner, during a session!
