Did you know that the airflow over the front tires could bend light?

For a long time this was my 'photo of the year' contender. What I like the most is only visible in the large version of this scan - the way the air flows over the front tires is revealed by the harsh backlighting coming from the lake behind. The engine heat and turbulence behind the car is cool, too (you need a decent monitor to see all this). This photo is 100% Cleveland - 7:30pm on Friday with the sun setting behind the runway, the cars are still out there qualifying.
