watching cars - the Newcastle Mattara Hill climb

I took my son this morning to go and see the Mattara Hill climb in King Edward park. I had a ball and he didn't at first until the big cars got going with lots of wheel smoke and wonderful purring dulcet tones of a screaming V8.

Man it was really hard to image these cars, they averaged 100 k in the small straight after the start and to find and keep focus as they were hurtiling down the road at you was near impossible. Only a few shots were worthwhile. Anyway, forthe record, to cover a kilometer of road took one car 39.3 seconds. Awesome!!
