Here's a few I took from this past Saturdays race. It was a muddy hole at the SFSX as usual.

Lovely work. Number two must be close to a sponsor's dream! (no doubt you thought of that while taking the shot)

Not bad at all considering the conditions that night.

Yes

That will be a tear-off which are clear plastic strips put onto goggles.once they get muddy they can be ripped off and discarded meaning clear vision.best time to tear one off is in mid air

Hey nice shots! I sat right in front of the inside single/table/single/triple section only 6 rows from the third base dugout. I was watching some of the photographers, I can recall a few, maybe one was you?

I remember a gray haired gentelman who was shooting the flames coming from the tailpipe of that guy who couldn't get his bike started. An asian fellow with long hair shooting Nikon. Probably not you, but a woman with a 200/1.8, and a younger guy with a mkII/III and 300/2.8 plus another unknown Canon lens slung around his shoulder.

By chance did you shoot any when it was really coming down? I had seen a couple shots when it was pouring, and it made for an awesome effect.

Anyway, thanks for sharing!

I was one of the younger guys who had the MKIII with 300 2.8 IS and a 70-200 f2.8 IS slung around my shoulder. I was all over the track and on the club level all night.
