Well, what an afternoon.

Managed to blag my way into the film camera enclosure with an other photog at the last turn before the final straight :D

The front 4 were very fast, just had time to get a few off before they blasted past :shock:

Here are just a quick three photos to suppress appetites ;)

These are not for critique, just to post for ya till better comes along.

Glad you are enjoying them, watching this lot below scream towards you an turn at the last second is quite a buzz.

2.5 hours driving, 3 hours sitting around, 10 second photo opportunity, well worth it :D

can't wait till they come trough my Village tomorrow.

Maybe too late to ask, but did you take any of the promotional caravan before the riders arrived.

We NEVER see any of that here in the States. :confused:
