200mph parachute vs Remote camera. Parachute Wins....

What's this piece of crap out of focus photo you may be asking, well its the last photo ever taken by my remote camera mounted on the wall in the shutdown area during the California Hot Rod Reunion in Bakersfield.

When the car of John Weaver lost control and crashed into the wall, his parachute came over the wall and took my 10k camera setup for a destructive ride.

Ouch. That had to hurt man. You'll have to put all of that wreckage into a display box, with the last picture mounted in the back.

That camera died doing what it enjoyed most.

As always, outstanding work, Mark.

Mark you sure have a good attitude about losing $8-10,000 worth of equipment! But better the Camera than you, see you in Vegas if you're making it!
