Wow, not seen sand racing before and it looks like you've done a great job shooting it! I imagine the roost would be huge! Lol! I love that first shot!

Thankyou for your comment Poco Red, Sand Racing is not a common sport, but takes place in two or three locations around the coast in the UK in the winter months, it`s very much like American Flat Trac Racing, Three types of bike`s are used, Motor Cross, Speedway/Grasstrack and Road bike.

I've never even heard of it but it looks awesome! Looks like a few are on modified speedway bikes?

I like #4
