There were some funny looking cars at the old local Circuit yesterday. Many of them appeared to have lost a couple of wheels and some had 2 people on board...

1. 4 x 2 wheeled things. No i have not Photoshopped this one, that really IS sunshine !

2. A 2 wheeled thing on its own..

3. Lots of 2 wheeled things together. Must have been some sort of meeting ?

4. Dark visors should be banned..

5. 3 wheeled thing with 2 people on board.

6. This 2 wheeled thing seemed to be missing the big plastic cover the others had at the front..

7. This chap seemed to be trying to lay down on the ground. It must be very tiring..

8. This lot seemed to be in a hurry. Perhaps they were trying to beat the Marshals to the Burger van..

Now, before anyone suggests otherwise, anything written above has nothing to do with the fact that i didn't buy a programme and have no idea who was racing...honest !

Everything is with the 1DMK2N and Sigma 500 f4.5 EX.

Thanks for looking in.

I felt let down by this thread... I always look at your threads for those silly/wacky race cars you guys have on that side of the pond though admittedly #5 certainly sparks the "wtf?" mindset.

Great shots as always, you sure you didn't photoshop in the sun? ;)

Nice to see DAVID BELL (http://www.davidbellracing.com/index.php?f=data_diary&a=2) entertaining everybody as usual on his "Pizza Bike". Nice shots, but I've got to ask, don't you ever get sick of Croft? ;)

Why is it that Croft themselves can't come up with a website like that? Very good indeed.

Yeah it was a bit of a shock to the system :D. So where are you hiding these days?

Like the pics but the comments I love!

The old "this is Mr X riding Bike Y" gets a bit boring doesn't it? :)

If i had to pick a favourite i'd choose the last one. Pack shots of bikes work better than cars in most cases.

#5's a Sidecar. Not sure if it's an F1 or F2 combo but it's damned quick all the same. Strangely enough i still can't find the "Auto Sun" action in CS2...

Sick of Croft?...Never....well yes, actually. So this weekend it's either Brands Hatch or Oulton Park and to hell with the price of Super Unleaded !


Nice work, love bikes, they are so much fun to shoot!

It was a pleasant change from Cars & rain..

Nice work Geoff.


Thanks Jamie and everyone else :D

A nice selection here Geoff, with a good variety of angles. I like the last one as it shows just how hectic the first couple of corners are with the huge grids that the NEMCRC always seems to attract.

It's not that i don't "get em"...More that i just don't get many chances to shoot them. A couple of Clubbie meets and then the usual madness of a BSB weekend is all we see at Croft. We didn't even get the usual BSB 2 day test this year.

Great shots there Geoff :)

Merci beaucoup Pierre. How was France?...loaded up with cheap booze i hope ? :D


Great images, like the last one the best.


onsidering i was poking the 500 through a rough hole in the fence it's come out quite well ;)

Very very nice Geoff you should shot these two wheeled things more often

You're probably right. I actually enjoyed the event which makes a pleasant change from most i've been to lately. I might have a look at BSB qualifying next month at Croft, but i think i'll avoid the thousands of sweaty bikers on race day !

Cheers everyone. As always the comments are much appreciated :)
