Once In A While We Need To Take A Big Breath and remember how lucky we are for the circumstances we’re in and offer a prayer of Thanksgiving.

In the same breath we also must look at the circumstances of others, who do the same things we do and they have an outcome of catastrophic proportions.

If you’ve already read enough and see the photo to the right, Bless you, go to www.kellenchadwick.com and donate.

For those that haven’t been convinced that this person needs YOUR help… Look at the pictures. He has extensive injuries to his neck and back (see the seat bent backward from accident). Go to www.kellenchadwick.com and donate. He is going to need services for a very long time.

If you can’t/won’t donate at least say a prayer for him and all those involved.

I will be collecting donations at Manzanita Speedway (Barnett Modifieds) Friday Night, Manzanita Speedway (World of Outlaws Sprints/Late Models) Saturday Night, Firebird Raceway (NHRA Region 7 event) on Sunday during the day and Phoenix International Raceway (NASCAR Testing) on Monday during the day.

Checking with the other photographers, I was the only photographer that got the shots of the “incident” at Manzanita Speedway.

Nancy, my girlfriend, (her website www.FatBirdPhotos.com) is also a photographer. She’s just kinda starting out on sporting events. And she didn’t know she had actually photographed the incident. Her excellent pictures of the incident can be found here.

I put a movie together of the images I had. CLICK HERE for the Movie of this action!

I have another 900 pictures to put up of this racing event

And another 500 images of the NHRA Test and Tune at Firebird Raceway a couple of weeks ago…

A wild ride for #73, during the CRA “A” Main event at Manzanita Speedway during the “Copper on the Dirt” event (AKA The Copper Classic” in past years).

Why Do We Go To The Auto Races?

So we can see amd feel the action! Such as the 7a DAKODA ARMSTRONG/New Castle, IN C & A Motorsports/Bunge – Baker Crop Insurance/DRC/Mopar and I’m sorry to say, this unknown driver. They gave us some great laps in practice such as, the image of this one in corner 3 and 4 of the Manzanita Speedway on 02/14/08! That’s real love in the air (Valentine’s Day)!
