If there is a place to practice bike photography this is it.
Easy access to the infield, lots of elevation so you can get above and below the bikes, tons of corners, bikes not moving too fast so good for panning practice, close racing so good action shots.

In summary, you will love taking photos there

Excellent news! 200mm or 300mm lens? Sounds like a 200?

Still waiting on parts as far as I know...though he is wanting to get it going again. He'll be on the fxr as far as i know.

It's not too late to enter. Just turn up on the day with your money (and license and membership card if you have them - otherwise you'll need more money).

**Skunk** · 1st April 2010, 13:54

Anybody who is able to help wave flags etc come and see me or Kendog on the day. I haven't had anyone comfirm they are helping but have had several offers.
