    Love that last one ! Makes such a difference when the backdrop is green & not barricades.

    The green backgrounds are nice but the rain that's needed to keep the foilage green made the paddock a quagmire. I will take your weather any day:cry

    bikes going for scrutiny.

    Love this shot mate!

    Good work.

    I love seeing these. It's like the track is country road with a few bails thrown
    in for good measure (sure hate to hit the telephone pole though :D).

    Great shots!

    That's because it is just that. :D

    Great pics, Seamus. thumb.gif I love the close proximity to the action and the lack of billboards, guardrails, etc.
