Friday practice and qualifying @ California Speedway. Overall a very fun day of shooting. Could have used a little more sun but at least it wasn't raining!

Riders were catching a little air off one of the chicanes:

    I really like the composition on Primore's Suzuki(s) and on the Kawi's in the pit.

    The one of Bostrom is great too.

    Thanks for sharing these. Hope you got/get more good ones on Sat/Sun.

    If this were my shot, I'd be really proud of it.

    That PU Ducati is a really sweet shot. Like Waxy, I would be proud if it were
    mine.

    While up at Alice's today, I saw what appeared to be the Ducati
    Ambassador rolleyes1.gif I wish I'd taken my camera. He was wearing
    a Ducati Beret, Ducati T-shirt, Ducati fanny pack, Ducati suspenders,
    etc. He was prolly in his 60's riding a 996. I guess he might've been a
    dealer--either way, he had all the kit :D

    No, that is one of the riders I sponsor up here in Seattle. Darren Murrey. Check out his top fairing.

    Thanks for letting me see the shot, I was upset that I couldn't get down there.
