As the title says, show your best/favourite flame/backfire shot.

I have a few lying around which I will post shortly.

Here's a few of my ones.

Nothing as spectacular as the drag ones but since there's no drag strip in Ireland we kinda suffer from a lack of that kind of action.

Tempting as it is to post THIS (http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~duncanc/Odd/IMG_4116-1000.jpg ) it isn't really motorsports (unless you class the southern motorway as a dragstrip, as some do)

One from a while back at Knockhill. 911 stalled coming out of the hairpin and had trouble re-starting. When it did re-start there was so much flames coming out of the back, the marshall ran towards the car to warn the driver but the car got going just fine:

Completely out of focus as I was just walking back to another spot and I heard it coming so up went the mark II and I missed focus, got another shot about 20m past this but no flames. Not the best but it's my only backfire shot :).

Took this jet car pic a few years ago. I was up on the line and got to looking around before he launched and I noticed I was the only one up there. His pit crew was hunkered down over by the fence in hand grenade mode and I thought "This is not good" but it was ok, no burnt body parts, LOL.

This is one of my Fav flame shots as the warm glow lights up the rear end of this stunning Aston. Pic was taken at the Dubai Autodrome towards the end of the GT race in 2008. have a few more but this one floats my boat so to speak...

Completely out of focus as I was just walking back to another spot and I heard it coming so up went the mark II and I missed focus, got another shot about 20m past this but no flames. Not the best but it's my only backfire shot :).

You're kidding right? :D Panned shot, in the dark, flames out of the exhaust, glowing rotors and sharp as hell. The only way this shot could get any better was if it had 3 wheels off the ground and was doing a backflip with the driver giving the thumbs up out the window. That would only be a marginal improvement though! Awesome shot thanks for sharing!!

:lol: Your comment made me laugh.

I appreciate it!

Don't ask me how many attempts it took me get a shot I was satisfied with. Or how long I stood in that one particular turn just wishing and waiting for the cars to brake like hell, downshift, and pray they shot flames. I call it luck!

I now have that photo hanging on my wall in my place as a 24x36. :)
