Post up pics from the MRA races from Sept. 23rd here:

[pilot]

I've got to go do an electrical install now, but I've got several shots of the race day to include Jenny's Easter Egg going through turn seven. I'll post them up tonight. Also, several others at the track took pictures.

Post up please. (PutFile.com) as well as several other on-line systems make it easy to post up.

Best to everyone and heal-up Bob!

Caviat:
If you have picks of Bob's wreck, out of respect it would probably be
best not to post them till he's had a chance to give his input on it.

[pilot]

Next year I'll make a better effort at some more candid shots in the pits. Race photos are great and there are a lot of good photographers who put a lot of time and money into those great racing shots. I'll try to get the perspective from the wrench and wench side, ha.

Here are some photos from the day. Please feel free to add to this post with your pictures from the race weekend.

Coming into Turn Seven, Pueblo Motorsports Park, Sept. 23, 2007, Novice GTU

Heading out of turn Seven into the right hander of turn Eight. As seen from viewing stands.

Terra, #112 of TerraNova Team Racing, chatting it up, about the future, with TomB of the CSC boards.

Deigo of the CSC chatting it up with the crew at the Orlando/Bravo hospitality tent--While my GSD, Mishka, says to me, "Grrrrr, put down the camera, slowly, Grrrrr!"

It's not an Easter egg! It's a Faberge, damnit!

any pics of Terri as the "Umbrella Girl?"

Great Job CSC! An excellent showing of rides to the last race of the season. I'm still trying to figure out how the rider at the end managed to carry the pit stands, tire warmer and generator on the ride over Pikes Peak. Hey, maybe the Beemer guy tossed them in his side bags?

http://img2.putfile.com/main/9/26713440719.jpg


It wouldn't be the usual event if everyone didn't have the chance to tell me to F-off, errr, I mean give the CSC solute! (the viewing stands at turn Seven with the straight going into turn One in the background).

http://img2.putfile.com/main/9/26713440734.jpg


TomB gives the "thumbs-up" and I get a nice waive goodbye as I mention that I'm going to shoot pictures of racers (I think Tim is coming over to take away my batteries) instead of the fans. Diego says to Mishka, "Bite him". While Greg wishes he was on the track. Hey, I just noticed that TomB looks like he has his pants down and is taking a cr.., oh, never mind. LOL

TNT Tech/Suspension master, Ric, checking travel and damping on the cooler lid as Christina looks for a match in all the wrong places. Great job on the pit crew work gang!

[pilot]

It's not an Easter egg! It's a Faberge, damnit!YOU have the power to edit my posts! HA. Your egg in a basket is coming up. It takes a bit of effort to edit and get these pics from the camera to the net and back to the CSC boards. So, are you going to paint your bike orange and black for the Easter holiday next spring?

[pilot]

any pics of Terri as the "Umbrella Girl?"I apologize for not getting a pic of that. Good thing there is next year. I think it will be a good one for taking a few shots like that. I must work on a "Model Release/Waiver". Perhaps someone got a few shots down on that end of the pits??? I saw some cameras down there.

Sarah, Tim and Sasha kicking it in the TNT tent. Next year, carpet!

"GX Rider", Sebastian, of the CSC asking when he gets to suit up and take 112 out for the Sportsman class.

Pit discussions. And I'm thinking, "Why the hell did I unpack the fan today." That was the windiest I we had seen in a while.

"OK, my turn for a lap around the track!" Says Christina.

"It's all up here." or, "Damn, these no slip glasses!"

Lemme tell ya, that's a long way to push a bike from the pits!

*Carefully now, no-one is looking, while I ease his wallet out of the back of his pants.* Says, Hot Rod Todd Lincoln on #811.

It looks like a full shot of guests but this was only half of the crowd! Carl, #442, your sushi is waiting at the food stand.

Finally! Jenny's Egg! Outside arm relaxed against the tank. Very nice.

Coming from turn One at Pueblo into turn Two. Not much time to move around the track between those two. Set your line early and follow the rules of engagement.

http://img2.putfile.com/main/9/26713440321.jpg


Even after the sun goes down, there is still work to be had. Christina hard at it getting the trailer ready for the trip back to Denvah. But first, we'll stop of at BWW's on the north side of Pueblo and down some ribs and wings!

http://img2.putfile.com/main/9/26715162966.jpg


Well, that's what I've got for now in terms of pictures. I've a little "shakey" cam footage that I'll Putfile a bit later.

I hope you enjoyed the pictures. Please say so if did. ~Pilot

Oh yea Bash is so kick my arss when I get home

[Sortarican]

Nice picks Pilot.:up:

[InlineSIX24]

I only got one shot off of the Forsythe crew @ #2 before the bikes came around to my corner. Why they put such a crappy camera in such an expensive phone is beyond me.

Jeff,
Let's not forget that "ROYALty" fee. being that it is a "FAB" egg. Smells like rotten eggs to me.

[fairrpe86]

The guy on the 811 pitbike that is attempting the pickpocket is actually Hot Rod Todd, aka Lincoln Todd, not Crash. Just a heads up.

[InlineSIX24]

Jenny you should totally have someone airbrush your bike to look like that, therefore distracting your opponents.

[pilot]

The guy on the 811 pitbike that is attempting the pickpocket is actually Hot Rod Todd, aka Lincoln Todd, not Crash. Just a heads up.Thanks. I wasn't too sure. Those guys could be brothers. Or is it the hat?

Since I work both of my jobs everyday this week these are all I've had time to get to. Pilot, it looks like I got a few good post-race pit shots but I have to look them over. I figured this last shot was fitting for the end of my night. Hope everyone enjoyed the pics and congrats to everyone on the completion of the 2007 season!!!

Who's on the pink Barbie bike in Tim's picture? Can't read the number off the side of the upper...

She was with the Syndicate guys, don't know her name.
She was riding the hell outta Barbie's Dream Bike.
(Just wait till Suki get's her Hello Kitty bike out there though....I'm thinking head to head racing.)

[Sortarican]

.. jenny's so kickin yur ass but still funny.

Thank God she's got a great sense of humor or you're right.....
next time she blows by me in a turn she'd probably hit my kill switch.:banghead:

Damn, and I was gonna do the Hello Kitty gender-bender and he beat me to it!

But I could have swarn I saw the gal hanging out in the Syndicate pit in those leathers.
And by the pic Jason needs a haircut.....damn hippies!

[uberwench]

SHE was a HE.....that would be #213, Jason Madama. Not sure what the whole girl/Barbie thing was about for the weekend.:dunno:

That's just Hammer. Did anybody see if he got a Barbie tattoo as well? I'm not sure he's got any real estate left for another tattoo, though.

I sure do dig the Syndicate bikes. Purty.

I don't have saddle bags! If I did I would have scraped em off following Bash on the ride down.

[1ofTheBoys]

Shelia, nice looking set-up! Is that an R6? Good bike. :D

Thank you, it is an '01' R6. I am having such a blast that I am already starting to pull together my next race bike ('04' R6)

[Κανελλόπουλος]

Nice pics tim! Seems like your getting your panning shots down pretty good now

Thanks Steezy! My pictures are still in the Novice class though haha. I'll be down to Pueblo on the 8th and since I can't afford gear yet I'll be shooting. See ya there!

[steezy303]

Nice stuff as always Kieth.
Edit*
Wow Kieth, from the exif it says 500mm.. were these handheld??!!?

[pilot]

Nice stuff Kieth, real nice.

[Performance Imagery]

Thanks guys.

Steezy, these where shot using a monopod. I occasionally will hand hold the 500mm for in flight shots of birds. You really have to develop good shooting techniques to do that successfully though. Looking though EXIF data is a real good way to learn as well... I do it my self from time to time. It's one of the reasons I leave it intact on my web images.

[steezy303]

Good stuff man. I couldn't imagine hand holding a 500mm. Thanks for leaving the exif, I always look at that stuff see exactly how a shot was taking to help mine out.

[Performance Imagery]

If you ever have questions or just want to get together to shoot, let me know. I'm always happy to help and hang out.

[steezy303]

are you coming out on the 8th to pmi? It would be awesome to get some tips from you or just shoot with you in general

[Performance Imagery]

What's happening on the 8th at PMI? I have plan on being up in RMNP shooting the bull elk in rut the first and last half of that first week in Oct. (I have an auto shoot in NC right in the middle of it :scream1:) I might drop my last day up there for some more trackside time.

[hcr25]

oct 8th is a CSC track day as well as a Track day school. Mark S is teaching it and a few of us are helping instruct.
We are racing in new mexico on oct 6 & 7 and driving all night back to be able to teach on monday at Pueblo!

[Performance Imagery]

I'll be in NC for the 6th and 7th, or I'd be down at Sandia taking pics that weekend. I'll see about the 8th, it'll depend on how my elk shooting goes the first couple of days up there.

Geez guys, get a motel room, ha.

More pics please.

Margaret, some nice shots on your site. Not sure how anyone could have missed me out on the track with that cannon. You mind if I hang on to that shot you took of me? I'm always looking for pics of me taking pics... kind of hard to get them my self ;)

And to appease the picture people, here is another shot...

Sorry Bob, but I was shooting turns 2 and 3 when you decided to Superman instead of Spiderman. I'm glad to see you are doing much better now. I really liked the new paint job on your bike. If you make it to your own track day, track me down and I'll have a nice print of it for you. I'll be pretty easy to find, my Denali now looks like this...

- The Go Fast! flags bending in the wind. I have video of this too I'll try & post.
- Joe showing his true colors. :p

A couple from the hospital:
- 3 weeks after the accident, just had a shower. The eyes would've been great for Halloween! :vamp:

Thanks! I finally got around to replacing the ones that got destroyed last year when Joe Lott crashed my bike during practice! :lol:

Hey your power commander is still intact too! :)

[Devaclis]

That windscreen looks like your smile :)

Man Bob, you gonna keep this as a trophy or give it to Scott to ride on the track day?

:lol:

Haven't decided yet. Front wheel is taco'd so Scott would have to be riding a wheelie the whole time. LOL

- Pit antics also fall under the "boneheaded riding" category - i.e. stunting, etc. regardless of where you do it, or what bike you're on.

[Spiderman]

That wouldn't be considered stunting... it would be "adaptive riding technique" :lol:

[~Barn~]

Yikes Bob... Those are some disgusting pictures man. And not in the "cool" disgusting way I sometimes use. Your bike should be fine though. Take a hairdryer to some of those stickers to warm them up a little. Peel them off and stick them to your new bike. And it'll practically be like a new bike again.

[Spiderman]

A few from around the pits:
...
- The Go Fast! flags bending in the wind. I have video of this too I'll try & post.

Here's that video I was talking about (http://www.4horsemenracing.net/2007/images/BobsSupermanCrash/03-Windy.avi). It's 2 MB and 6 seconds long, but it does the wind much more justice than the picture.

And hey, you can still get a lot of use out of that bike Bob....
