It knocked his sun glasses off and put a nice 2 in a half inch gash up his forehead. He was poring blood all over his face and down to his mixer, looked very bad(head cut, tons of blood always). Found out he got a slight skull fracture. Never knew or saw the size of it, Even though I was standing right next to him when he got nailed. I made sure to shoot the puddle of blood he left. So check out Pinks Shreveport and they will prob. put it in the show. Sometimes we get a little too close to the action..
Drag racing is dangerous I don't care what anyone says. One of the local track I go to lets you stand within spitting distance of the start line.

I was hit by something spit out the zoomies of a 8000HP Nitro Funny car. It burnt a hole in my jacket in the arm. It was overcast that day and I wasn't wearing any glasses so it could have been worse
