This is the big left U turn at Cal. Speed. My first day on a track. I am soo hooked, it's sick.
These are the proofs from daniel oconnell, the pro who was shooting that day. It was his first time shooting "moving objects". I think he did a great job.
ACTUALLY LINKS TO PICS. Not sure about getting the digital images yet.

I know, I love like my own family. Maybe a little overreaction on my part. But I'm toying with the idea of a 600 track only bike. images/icons/shocked.gif

It was their way of keeping track of who was in the school. They would ride every run with us, and follow, or lead. Then they would give us hints. It was pretty good.

Even though I didn't get to meet them, they helped with all my questions, and necessary item for my first track day.

O.K. Hammer, you da man. I'm self employed as well, but I own a restaurant, and it takes all my time. Gotta look at doing something new, like racing Bikes!!!!!!
By the way, how do you get off this "track day" high? I can't think of anything else. My child is asking, "Daddy, why do you keep leaning to the left and right, and saying "ruuuummmmm, ruuuummm"?!!!
