Our Photographers that entered our Track Snaps comp have truly captured some memorable moments of the great racing of 2012.
Dragnews photographer Hayley Turns has taken out the professional section of the competition with her snap of Steven Greentree’s undertaker melt down (Feature picture).
Mal Burgess had enough votes to garner second spot with his shot of a Modified racer Wade Moran’s wheel standing effort. Grant Stephens took out third with his catch of the spectacular engine explosion of Stuart Bishop’s doorslammer.

In what was thought to be a sure comp winner, Grant Stephens snapped the spectacular engine explosion in Stuart Bishops’s doorslammer. Voters didn’t get Grant over the line though.
In the Amateur section Blake Watson’s shot of Stuey Bishop on two wheels gets extra kudos as it was snapped right in front of the DNA sign at Willowbank Raceway. Well done Blake.
Winner of the amateur section Blake Watkins titled this picture “two wheel fun”. I wonder if Stuart Bishop agrees?
Not satisfied with first, Blake also took out second too with his shot of an out of shape Kirsten Canulli in her Pro Stocker.
Blake also took this shot of Kirsten Canulli (Tucker) slip sliding around.

Thanks to all of you who entered and voted.
