The Power Sports ATV Tour came to town again. it's pretty cool having this 15 minutes from home. also nice that I get to watch it on ESPN 2 in a few weeks. I attended both days. had a few 8x10s of the top riders printed saturday night so I could get them autographed on Sunday.

All with D50 and 80-200 2.8 this first group were mostly 1/2500, f3.5

Thanks.
he led from start to finish in both heat races, but finished second in Sunday's final. btw, the rider in pic #3 is his lovely wife, Michelle.

Right you are. I hadn't noticed that before. John and Michelle come down to Florida every winter and spend quite a bit of time at the Croom Motorcycle Area where I am a ranger. I've gotten to know them fairly well.
