Default Re: Red Light Answer

Jason Oldfield is talking WAAAAY over my head so I can't really comment on his theory. However, I've always held the belief if a photographer's flash could either match or override the frequency used in the infra-red sensors, there would be a few thousand more of these redlights than we currently witness.

I don't know the photographer shown in the image but, as much as I hate slamming anybody, he has no clue what he is doing. Anybody with any experience in this business knows you never actuate a flash in drag racing until the car leaves the line. When shooting handicapped eliminations, one never actuates a flash before the quickest car has left the line.

I also agree with Carl; we're losing excuses at an alarming rate and something must be done.

PLEASE HELP SAVE THE EXCUSES!
