I really need a digital SLR. But we make due with what we have at hand. A few shots from local motocross taken today in Ulster County NY at a track called Ace. The vintage class shared the line with the over 50 class, hence the circa 1977 Swedish Husqvarna alongside the circa 2007 Italian Husqvarna.

    putting some serious leg to a serious Suzuki RM 400 in an attempt to coax it to life.

    the moment of truth as the signalman shows the magic # 1 which means the gate will drop in about 5 seconds.

    later in the day I found a turn that enabled some pretty close to the action shots. from the second moto of the vintage class an RM 400 on the gas.

    from the Open Mini class. Having never seen mini's run before I was pretty impressed. #811 is actually in the process of passing 2 bikes in one turn. Nice work.

    I took a lot of shots but most just didn't quite come out very good. overcast days always seem to throw hand held point and shoots for a little loop. maybe next time I'll take it off of auto.

    I have a good friend that has one of those older CR's. He brings it to races and beats many of the younger, newer bikes, riders. It is a hoot! Nice clutch usage.thumb.gif

    Very well done for a p+s, action sports aren't exactly what they are built for. Looks like fun -
