This weeks PotW is from Brett Whinnen, an image of a drag car. This is a good example of being in the right place at the right time with the most important thing, the right skills! There is a lot to see in this image, from the flames and heat haze to the look of concentration on the drivers eyes. The thread is here: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=33085 and the full image is below:  http://wolfeyes.com.au Tactical Torches - Tactical Flashlights Police torch rechargeable torch military torch police military HID surefire flashlight LED torch tactical torch rechargeable wolf eyes flashlight surefire torch wolf eyes tactical torchpolice torchThank You

I can't really add any more to what's already been said, but it's a cracker of a shot, especially the haze, the colour, the moment. Well deserved.
