Absolutely!
Those kids at batley irritated me so much, however many times I asked them *politely* to not ride their bikes on the track, they completely ignored me, or obnoxiously slowly rode away only to return a short time later.
But it did get me thinking... if we have asked them to leave but they refuse, and they do get injured by a fast moving RC car (*shame*), then who is liable?!
Likewise if they ride over our cars and break something?!
:confused:

Jimmy At Regionals Can U Plzzzz Take More Pics Of All Different Cars Not Jst Top Drivers An Stuff!!

Thanks Jonny

Erm be fair, Jimmy tries to take as many photos as possible... he has to take time to do his own car too you know! Think about it yesterday... Jimmy's in heat 5, marshals heat 6, obviously heats 2, 3, 4 are getting his car ready... that really only leaves heats 7 and 8 (top heats) and possibly a bit of 1 to take photos in!

Think about how much time you have spare if you also add in time for things like eating, talking to people...!

Its not like Jimmy gets paid for taking photos, and he never refuses to take photos of a car someone specifically asks him to do... and anyway, have a proper look at the photos... there are SO many photos of 'non-top-drivers'... so tbh, I think you're being VERY unfair!

Well said Emzeh! :)

hehe,
no worries Jonny
I will try a bit harder in future.

There are a few things to note though even when I do get photos of lesser drivers cars i might be less inclined to put them up for a few reasons.

They might be slower - so the photo is less dynamic, there is less lean, less jump, less everything that makes the photo exciting.

Top drivers tend to have cleaner, better painted and prepared cars, they literally just look better, so look better in photos also.

Those are a couple of reasons why even if i do get photos of the lower heats the cars dont generally get selected as much.. But i do get a lot of good ones..

If someone ever wants to see a photo of their car, and they think i might have got a photo, tell me what car it is and ill have a look.. I have hundreds of photos from this last weekend that never got shown but I still have them.
I guess I could charge a nominal fee for burning all the photos from a race(s) to a DVD so people could look at them all.

But aye, overall I am usually mid way in the heats, so can only take photos at either end, the top drivers and the noobies

Well said Jimmy. Im a self confessed NOOBIE and am very thankfull for any pics of my car that make Oople. Keep up the good work mate.

Just to show how lovely and fluffy I am, I added all the decent pics of lower heats I have, only 6. I did not have the camera out much on saturday because I was trying to do well at racing. :)
I have a bad habit of not preparing my cars and doing badly.:(

theres the truth too, spy shot via yours truely :D

did you take anymore photos at bury of the pink white and green cars run by me and jeremy horne and chris hirst??

the pics are exellent by the way there jst isnt sometimes pics of as many drivers as pos

thanks jonny

And unfortunately, Jimmy doesn't have a permanent pit monkey (other than me and Vicky, who aren't much help!) therefore he's physically unable to take any more photos that he already does! Like I said before, he can only take photos of drivers in heats where he's not busy... surprisingly the same cars seem to be going round the track at the same time each round!

ok well i was only sayin i wud lyk to see sum more as i wud lyk a pic of my race team kinda thing and i would buy a large print of it 4 the wall thats why i wanted it ok!

thanks nyways jonny

I'm sorry if I sound harsh, its just I was getting a 'try harder next time Jimmy' vibe which I find rather unfair... anyway, whatever.

Peas.
