Pick Ten: 2013 Good Friday Burnout King

The Good Friday Burnout King is one of the biggest events on the Perth Motorplex's calendar, and always pulls a huge crowd. Here is a selection of some of my favourite shots from this years event.

Pick Ten: McRae Rallysprint 2012/2013 Summer Series Final

Last night was the last round of the 2012/13 McRae Rallysprint Summer Series, and I decided to shoot the event from spectator accessible areas for the night.


Canon EOS-1D Mark III - 1/100s @ f/4, 24 mm

This was the least 'spectator accessible' point of the night, although it's possible to stand just the other side of the cars as a spectator.


Canon EOS-1D Mark III - 1/60s @ f/4, 58 mm

This is an awesome event for drivers and spectators, with plenty of action on the track and for the drivers, 4 runs around the course over approximately 3.5 hours.


Canon EOS-1D Mark III - 1/100s @ f/4, 50 mm

When I was just starting to get into motorsport, Rolly Waters was king of the Under 2 litre Street Cars at Wanneroo in his hot little Escort.


Canon EOS-1D Mark III - 1/100s @ f/4, 45 mm

One day I will own an old Porsche. I'll probably also end up sleeping in it, unless I sell a few cars first.


Canon EOS-1D Mark III - 1/100s @ f/4, 45 mm

Jai Philp runs the No Limits events at Wanneroo, and has built this Celica to run in the WASCC's Improved Production class.


Canon EOS-1D Mark III - 1/100s @ f/4, 45 mm

Monica Jakovich in the car Geoff Duckworth ran at the WASCC's Night Masters this year.


Canon EOS-1D Mark III - 1/100s @ f/4, 50 mm

Alistair McRae doesn't just lend his name to the event, here he is driving the 0 car, the last course checker before each round of racing.


Canon EOS-1D Mark III - 1/100s @ f/4, 47 mm

I love this car, I don't know a lot about it or it's history, but I know that I love the agressive 70's style flares and the 70's style rally paint.


Canon EOS-1D Mark III - 1/100s @ f/4, 45 mm

The next rallysprint event at the Motorplex is the McRae Motorsports 'off season' event, on July 21st, and the full series will return next summer.


Canon EOS-1D Mark III - 1/100s @ f/4, 35 mm

Even with the upgraded brakes it's wearing, this ute was still able to get the rotors glowing into the chicanes.
