Description ... and he was regularly in season 2008. Russell Ingall returned to his 'Enforcer' days of old and showed that his move to Paul Morris Motorsport wasn't a quite fade into retirement. Rather it seemed to reinvigorate him...

This capture is from the last-ever Australian Touring Car Championship race held at Oran Park, with Ingall heading Fabian Coulthard and Greg Murphy.

Likewise! It's not something that's seen as much now that the cars are running ethanol...

Oh, is that why you don't see them much any more? I always wondered about that, I thought maybe I'd just been inadvertently ingesting acid when I first started watching the V8s...

Thanks Andy! It's all in the timing - and I certainly took enough images to guarantee that some had flames...

very cool shot
the emphasis on the car up front using the black and white is great!
dumb question though. is the car's tire on fire?

Thank you! I tried to catch so many cars shooting flames but only a few were really blasting heat. This is probably best of the bunch, hence why it's on here.

Oh, and dumb answer: no.

Hehe... all Kiwis are dodgy, no matter where you are!

Seriously, I'm glad I've inspired you. We'll have to go for a (real) drive in the near future...

Selective coloring works great here!

Also the flame works really nice for the story you described

That's a good point. I only came up with the title before doing the edits; the story came later...

Anyway, glad you like it!
