I don't normally post my motorsport photos, but i thought seem this isn't your everyday motorsport photo, it might worth well.

I take my hat off to both riders and their swingers!

Injuries : The swinger who got run over sustained a double compound fracture to his femur and a shattered pelvis. Thankfully i seen him up walking around at the end of season 'have a go day' an amazing recovery but no doubt not an easy one.

Our NZ sidecar guys are fearless and the racing is at times super intense. Swingers have a lot of guts doing what they do. Great capture and good to hear the swinger was ok in the end. Sidecar racing is a super dangerous sport for sure.

I can vouch for that, being on the infield and only a couple meters from the solo's as they go past is the best seat in the house!
Cheers!
Yeah always amazes me how do it
