Not always the prettiest pictures, but still part of racing. The edge these drivers are riding on is defined by the images that show what happens when you get right on the edge, or slightly past it. It also is a challenge to capture those moments on film. Luck to be at the right place at the right time helps, but you also have to have the camera ready. Most of the pictures in this panel were not "luck" shots, but carefully planned.
