Re at the drag racing.

I think he had the best insurance. He was set up REMOTE, lol.

You're right though. Gotta love his attitude (at least on camera, hehe).

You got that right. It would have been dumb for him to be standing there too.

Holy cow, just chatted with Mark on Facebook...........he didn't have insurance. Told him to put aside some of the gas money he puts in his Corvette, adult beverage drinks at Chili's, general all around partying and living the high life on the hog to pay for insurance for photo gear. "Tough lesson learned." he said. However, his new gear will be delivered next week and it will be insured!"
