THE ACTION PHOTOGRAPHER
Ian Abrahams

Tumbling time
Shane Snookes left a gap which the 16 year old rookie Jamie MacDonald tried to use.
There was a rut that had been making cars bicycle at that point, hence the reason I was standing there to take photos, and the #7 car bounced into the 22a.
The rolls were big time but both cars were back on the track for the 20 lap Champion of Champions feature. The youngster bicycled in the same turn as he had flipped whilst challenging for second place, bogged, dropped to a long last, passed a few, then got caught by the slickening track and spun out of the race.
Shane Snookes who looked as sick as his car after his tremendous tumble, got both his car and his balls together to race clean and steady to fourth place in the Champions race.
