I went to the Elsinore Grand Prix where my nephew and brother were racing today. Some spectator decided to try to run across the race track at the wrong time. The racer didn't even have a chance to see him before he slammed into the poor guy.... Really. That's what happened. Yep. Some dumb spectator just runs into the middle of the track and gets hit by this guy. Yep. Well... okay, PERHAPS my nephew went into the middle of the track and pretended like he was getting hit, then I took a picture of a rider and combined the two. That might have happened. ;)

Very funny... he's right! You could use it in court! :) LOL! It's evidence! :) I thought you caught that happening when I saw it the first time... so did everyone else here... except for those who were with you when you were working it up! :) GREAT JOB! Hillarious!

Indeed, most excellent photoshopping!

Great shot paul... I wouldn't have figured out the photoshoppery on this one.
Guest 15-Nov-2004 03:45
Man!! That's some good photoshopping!!
Wesley Aston15-Nov-2004 03:42
I was wondering that, cause the guy is in full throttle and not breaking yet. Good one!

Sorry Rob and Wesley... You commented on it before I had a chance to say that I was kidding. I think it's funny that Rob says "I hope the motorcyclist wasn't hurt."! Who cares about the Dumby running across the track! Anyway, this was just a Photoshop image I did with my nephew when no one was racing, then combined it with the racing shot.
Rob Philip15-Nov-2004 03:26
That's great. The racer looks like he's accelerating into the interloper. Hope the motorcyclist wasn't hurt.
Wesley Aston15-Nov-2004 03:24
sweet timing, I bet he won't do that again!
