For most of the Monster Trucks I had my camera in sports and continuous mode and fired away when the trucks would do stuff. I didn't notice the smoke coming from The Patriot until I pulled the photos off the camera. I like how the smoke kinda gives that foggy, extra cool atmosphere feel to it, like he's been sitting there spinning his wheels building up the smoke then popped the clutch and took off fast. Looks like he's about to explode WAY over the cars. :)
