No worries -- couple a great shots I hadn't seen before! 

Every time I'm at a sporting event, I wonder why I see sports photographers lugging a brace of cameras, all with such ridiculously huge lenses on them. Then I see the pictures and remember.

that is crazy - I think the main bike sponsor ENI is Italian racing a bike in AMA?

This is the bike Pegram was racing last year. Larry is supposed to race this bike at the Springfield Mile this year.

Thanks for finding the video -- that was very cool! Looked like it was shot from the press area near the pits, so a great vantage point to see the finish.

We staked out a spot at the top of the track-level grandstands as close as we could get to Turn 1 -- all day long it was fun hearing the riders lift off the throttle and start sliding the back wheel. By the end of the day, I could close my eyes and tell which brand of motor & style of pipes was going past by the sound of the popping and decelerating through the open pipes. Wicked cool.
