Knacker Cracker 2011 photos
We’ve been quiet for a while but one thing that gets us moving anytime is a race on Box Hill. Especially if it’s a race on the first morning of the year – gives you a good excuse to not party too much (first resolution)… and in case this doesn’t work out you always have that option of shattering the next New Year’s resolution to pieces – waking up on time. Only a few hours into the New Year and here you go, a couple of useless resolutions crossed off the list already!
Thankfully we made it on time to see the mad crowd gathered in the cold drizzle on top of Box Hill, ready to face another challenging year. After a race like this I’m sure the rest of the year will look like a walk in a park. Fast, mad and happy New Year everyone!
UPDATE 1: Looks like Flickr search is having hiccups so until they get back to normal you can browse all our photos from Knacker Cracker 2011 on Flickr.
UPDATE 2: While we are still waiting for Flickr to sort out their search we have some good news for you. Knacker Cracker is no ordinary race and to enjoy it even more we brought some no ordinary equipment with us this time – and old medium film camera (Mamiya C3 for those who are into it).
Not to mention it felt in place there being quite knackered it has many more things in common – it’s heavy, it’s definititely not meant for sport (photography) and it’s a lot of fun.
Here are a couple of shots 42run labs were busy with last night. Let us know if you can spot yourself there, we like these shots so much we’ll send a real-old-school paper copy for anyone who can find themselves in these photos. Have fun!

UPDATE 3: Flickr API is back up and you can finally find your photos by searching for your bib number in the search box at the top. And the photos are free. Happy days!

I LOVE what you guys have done here! Thanks very much indeed for turning up on that cold, wet, grey, miserable day, and making it look like the sun was out! Your film shots are a knockout…. so old school! I’ve put up a link on the race web site…
As race director, I would love to have a dozen of your finest shots for my collection… any chance you could send over a selection?
I think you guy should do more like this… we should talk!
Regards,
Rob
