Miller Time!

Hey Sharpshooters,

The latest round of AMA Superbike racing took place at Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, Utah about a week ago. The track is big (by anyone's standards) and was actually designed with input from some of the major racing associations from around the world resulting in a track that is a joy for the riders/drivers but rather taxing on the photogs! One day perhaps a photographer will be consulted on a track's aesthetic designs :rolleyes

Great weekend again and cheers to Jay and the other forum members who I had the pleasure of meeting!

Please enjoy a selection of highlights here and another load on my website!

    Nice series Chris. #1, 5 & 8 are great. For 8, I'd normally want to see more
    subject but the motion blur fools the eye into believing the bike is still coming
    at you.

    Hot doesn't begin to describe it down there. That downright hurt to be at. I was sick for 2 days after that. But I was there for a full 7 days and it was that hot all week.

    I'll admit though, I was still smiling even afterward

    Brandon,
    it was pretty warm but barely made it passed 100 degrees which is at least 15 degrees cooler than it is today where I live in Vegas!
    The dry air makes a big difference and although this may sound nutty, 100 seems refreshingly pleasant after a few days at 115!! mwink.gif
    Good to see ya again and I'll look forward to seeing some of your work!
    Cheers,
