Video: Photographer determined to get his drag crash pics



Undoubtedly it has been a slow news week in the world of performance cars. The lull that is the post SEMA and LA Auto Show time is only brightened by the occasional crazy or amusing videos that we see.

One such video is this one, depicting a race at Ponoma Raceway in California that shows Steve Gasparrelli's Ford Mustang funny car in a dramatic crash. Big deal, you say? What makes this crash different from others is that a photographer by the name of Andy Willsheer didn't seem phased enough by the 200+ mph car flying by him to move or stop taking pictures.

Amazingly, neither photographer nor driver was hurt.
