    See the #31 NGT MOMO Porsche and #48 Paul Miller Racing Porsche crash at Virginia International Raceway. Drivers and cameraman are ok.

    Yikes!!!

    Man that turned out well. As far as the cameraman having large attachments goes. Yes you do have to have them to do that job. Also looking through the viewfinder gives you a distorted view of things. He held his ground & panned with the grey & white Porsche & never saw the orange one about to squish him until the last moment. He moves pretty fast for an old guy. :Thumbsup: Once up he checks on others & is back at his job. What a guy! :beer

    Shows how safe those cars are, to take a flip like that and still be able to get out and want to chase after the other driver.....

    That driver needs to send the roll cage builder a nice bottle of wine. That fabricator did one fine job.

    There also was much good luck that helped also.
