Yep. I'm sure that even the drivers couldn't see him. He must have taken his training at the US Army Sniper school.

He's lucky to be alive. But still a great picture for sure. Joel

That is a great picture and, you're right, the suspension is taking a beating.

2whl, Great pic for sure. Just goes to show you the G forces involved at that high speed corner. Not to mention the limitations of the suspension components back then. I do wonder how a modern F1 or Indy car's suspension would handle such G loads.

How about this?

Outstanding. Of course those steamers going through wooded areas did cause a lot of fires back in the day.

How about this? As long it is a great picture it can be (almost) any subject.

One of the most beautiful race cars ever built
Hint: Its a v12 Nissan believe it or not

Was intended to be an improved version of this.

Find a great picture and post it here: I'm not a hot rod fan, but I do like to photograph them! Patrick

A Canadian researcher built what might be the world's tiniest gingerbread house -- just 1/10th of a hair in lengthTravis Casagrande's gingerbread house is outfitted with a wreath, a snow-capped roof and, of course, a Christmas tree. But you probably couldn't see all that without a microscope. That's because Casagrande, a research associate at McMaster University in Ontario, built a gingerbread house he said is just one-tenth of a hair long -- and 20,000 times smaller than the average store-bought cookie home. It's a festive, if miniscule, display of ingenuity. Casagrande told CNN he hopes it sparks "scientific curiosity" in people who'd never thought about electron microscopy before. So how does one build what the university is touting as the world's tiniest gingerbread house? Ditch the gingerbread altogether. Zoom out a bit, and you'll see the silicon gingerbread home sits on top of a winking snowman. Casagrande used an ion beam microscope to blast four walls and a roof out of silicon. He even delicately etched in a door, windows and the logos for the university and its Canadian Centre for Electron Microscopy, where he constructed the wee model. "Some of the construction of this was quite unconventional, though, so I had to come up with new techniques," he said. It all sits on top of a winking snowman, itself already a fraction of the size of the hulking strand of human hair it's next to. In comparison, the hair looks like a massive tree trunk. Zoom out even more, and the house is hardly visible in comparison to the hulking human hair it's next to. His everyday work focuses on making materials more efficient, so blasting a gingerbread house and snowman out of silicon was a novel treat -- one he hopes inspires the scientific community and Christmas celebrants to appreciate tiny, hard work. But it's not the first time he's taken up a tiny task: For Canada's 150th birthday in 2017, he planted a miniscule Canadian flag in the branch of a letter on a penny. That was 10 micrometers long, too.
