looking their meanest! Would you believe Ashley beat them all up? 

 
OK, so who's the stunt cooridnator here? Ashley telling Peter a thing or two. Not

before the night time speedway stunt. Did you say
two fire walls?


Ashley all set to crash through two walls of fire. Assistant stunt coordinator Marc
Angelo goes along for the ride. But where's Peter?


Camerman filming a section of the 25,000 strong crowd at Robertson Holden
International Speedway (Palmerston North). Peter's legs can just be seen as he
spreads lots of flammable gel on one of the fire walls.


The first wall of fire is lit and Peter is just finishing off the second one.


Still good friends. A happy Ashley Hames and an exhausted Peter Hassall after all
the stunts are done.
