Title: Road Race on Saturday.
Post by: Jake D on June 19, 2006, 01:26:19 PM
This Saturday I got on my bike and rode 75 miles each way to Heartland Park Topeka for the motorcycle race.  I really enjoyed seeing what "mere mortals" can do on a road course.  There was pretty much constant 7 lap races from noon to 5 when I left.  Probably 8 different classes, including big twins. 
If you ever meet a guy named Ron Woods on a R1, give him some respect.  He is scary fast and won each of the heats in his class by at least 10 seconds.

I went alone and just listened to my i-pod most of the day.  I took like 20 pictures.

I am having trouble downloading.   I'm working on pics.

Finally!  I got  some more of my photos from that day downloaded.  Turns out I had too many stored on my hard drive.

Here are my first attempts at race photography.

You give up easily...  Aren't you a lawyer or something? ???
