    Hey guys just wanted to let everyone know we were out there snapping photos today. I neglected to introduce myself at the drivers meeting and then the wind decided to beat up our canopies and banners and we took them down lol. I'm pretty sure most of you got business cards from my wife and daughter but just in case I thought I'd pop in and say hello.

    You guys that ran in the rain were hard core 8)

    I should have all the photos online in roughly a week's time. We shot 7,000 Saturday and will probably shoot that or more on Sunday.

    I can't wait to see them! #41 Yamaha in "I"
    I don't know if running in the rain was hard core or crazy, but it was fun.


    Regards,
    Darren

    Awesome! Can't wait to see them! We looked for you near the end of the day but couldn't find you guys. Perhaps because of the downed canopies... Please give us an update when the pictures are posted.

    I've heard rumors that you caught the full sequence of the GSXR750 that was looped going over the hump in the novice group. Can't wait to see those. (rider was fine btw).

    Damn! Hope he is alright... You just dont expect a Novice to have that much throttle I guess.

    Quick recovery!!!

    I did catch that wheelie! When I spoke to him later his hands weren't doing so good. He was going in for xrays. Hope he heals quick. He's getting his shots on me.

    Epic Wheelie:

    Still pretty epic:

    I've got a 28 shot sequence.

    Saturdays photos are done and I will upload them when I get home.

    I'm still working on Sundays.

    We took 19,000 total for the 2 days.

    DAY-YUM!!!!

    Man, I hope he is okay!


    To the fellow who had the misfortune, please, oh please, make sure you have better boots and a fully zippered 2-piece suit when you come back all healthy!!!

    I hope you are alright. Prevention via safety equipment helps a ton.

    He looked OK. The worst part was that he brought his wife to the track (she had a 650R) for her first time. I'm sure she'll never come back after that experience. She held it together well.

    They were pitted next to Misko and I. Last July, the girls that pitted next to me crashed twice. Hummmmm..... Don't pit next to me unless your insurance is paid up. :lol:
