I'm finally getting the panning down (1/200sec). Rider below came off when it started raining in turn 9. I was set up to pan so all I managed to get sharp was his foot.

Was that OMRRA Sunday, April 10? I took pics in the AM and worked turn 9 in the PM.
After it started raining, we had 4 of the 160s crash in the first lap and then 3 more after
the race restarted.
I also picked up Alan (#2) and we spend about 20 minutes cleaning up the synthetic oil.
We also had #188 doing wheelies under the bridge in the rain during open superbike during
race laps. This weekend (tomorrow and Sunday) is OMRRA weekend again.

The sidecars were there also! Dave.

I was at the PSSR 4/21 but as an instructor, I didn't get to take any photos that day.
