Washington Ks. fair, dirt clods in my hair

[soundofffairbur.com]

So there I am on the infield swatting away some bug that’s flying around my head when I feel what I think is an infestation of insects in my hair. I quickly shake my head and try to get the bugs out of my hair with my fingers when I suddenly realize they aren’t bugs but dirt clods I was sprayed with when I was shooting on the outside edge of the track.

I should have realized the tires were going to kick up some mud and fling it, but it was like being in front of a firing squad. After a few laps and being sprayed I decided it was best to duck behind the barricade when the cars zipped by and let the camera take the abuse. Actually the camera only sustained one small dirt clod on the lens that I wiped off quickly.

I liked that new camera angle and depending on the track will use it again. It is difficult to get an outside looking in shot without shooting through fence and Washington had a sweet spot that was safe and with a clear view.

I got to shake the hand of Chris Nutter who with a little help flipped his truck on its side at Fairbury giving me that great shot. He shook my hand and I thanked him for the well placed wreck. Now if I could just train the rest of you to keep an eye out for the camera and keep your crashes within 50 feet, I would appreciate it.

Chris,

One of the reasons Seth helps you out is because you are such a great example, and Seth is such a great also. I hated to see this happen to you two.

For everyone else who does not know. When Nate and I arrived at Fairbury Friday afternoon, we found out that we had an O-Ring leaking on a fuel injector. It was torn. I started asking racers, if anybody had one. When I got to Chris, he said he did not have one, but said lets go downtown to NAPA (where he works) to get a new O-Ring. This was when he was getting ready to race. Chris sacrificed his set up time to help a big competitor. THANK YOU CHRIS. Without you we would not have raced all weekend.

Everybody says Jayhuskers is like a big family. You are the best example of that. No wonder why great guys like Seth helps you out!!!

You guys are the greatest!!!
