Murphy's law says that the most spectacular shot comes at frame 38.
I'd just finished off a roll during practice at Laguna Seca last year
when Paul Tracy slid his car backwards across the gravel, bounced up
and backed hard into the tire wall. I was standing there, listening
to my PZ-1p rewind, and looking at Tracy's car about thirty feet away,
three feet off the ground, unobscured, but surrounded by tires and dust.
Half a second later and the shot was gone - the car bounced off the
tires and dropped to the ground, and the dust quickly settled.
