May El Mirage spin photos
« on: May 20, 2009, 05:14:59 AM »
Here is a spin of the entry driven by David Silveira that I captured.  He did a great job recovering the spin that I would estimate happened at near 150 MPH.  There are more photos, but he is hidden in the dirt cloud he created during the two spins.

I added a smaller version of the spin sequence.

Yeah, that's them.  I think the flathead was first time out.  They look the same, but the E's an A and the T's the flathead.
