I'm told the paperwork I'm signing is in case of "loss or limb and life".

"But don't worry," I'm reassured, "we haven't lost anyone yet today".
As one of the journalists at the Daily Liberal I was lucky enough- or unlucky enough, depending on your views- to be given the opportunity to ride with Isuzu UTE's Team D-MAX Precision Driving Team at the Dubbo Show.
Despite the highly precise and dangerous nature of their work, the D-MAX team are pretty calm before their 1.30pm performance. When I ask if it's okay to video the ride, media and marketing manager Tom Hudson tells me "you can do anything but punch the driver".
My driver was Dave Shannon, who I found out later is the most experienced member of the team.
The butterflies in my stomach start up as my helmet is strapped on and harness tightened. Finally it's time to start and the utes make their way into the area.
From the moment Dave accelerates it's 15 minutes of non-stop drifts, slides, spins and jumps.
Lead driver Jack Monkhouse carefully guides the four drivers through their radios on the timing of each upcoming stunt.
The skill of the drivers is incredible, and evident to anyone watching. At one point the cars all line up so closely if the window was down I could have high-fived the driver beside me.
As the end of the performance draws closer, Dave tells me to hold on. His specialty is driving on two wheels and it seems despite the earlier rain, I'm about to experience it.
Over the ramp we go, and for a lap of the area I'm tilted sideways as Dave rocks the steering wheel back and forth to keep the vehicle balanced.
As the performance winds down and the utes leave the area, Dave asks me what I thought. I keep it simple: "it was awesome".
