Fontucky, as we affectionately call it... This year's race weekend can be summed up as high wind drama, Tommy Hayden's first Superbike win, a kinder, friendlier DMG/AMA, and great racing. Wind gusts of up to 50mph, not that far off from the inaugural Indy MotoGP race, shut on track action down until the afternoon. Fortunately, the wind died down enough and they were able to secure the air fences and we were able to get all the races underway. Instead of hurry up and wait it was wait and hurry up...which makes things interesting fast, but for a photographer the silver lining was later races meant better light.
The highlight for me was Tommy Hayden's maiden Superbike win. Been documenting the Haydens for quite a few years now...So happy to see Tommy get that win and end all the "when you gonna get that first sbk win" questions. If I had a crystal ball I'm sure it'd predict many more wins this season.
Even though only two rounds are in the books, I have to say what a difference a year makes. The morale in the paddock is much better. What I like the best about the new management is the focus on safety is back. A year ago when there was rain in the morning at Fontana, the position was we don't care what you say you're racing. This year with the wind, the position was if it's not safe we won't race, but we are hoping to get the races in and we are looking at different scenarios to get all the races in this weekend. There seems to be a lot of positive shifts in the right direction. Add to that great racing, makes this season so much more enjoyable.
I'm looking forward to Road Atlanta, one of my favorite tracks to shoot here in the US. Until then... Hope you guys enjoy my favorite photos from Fontana.

Barber, what interesting weekend... most notable for Hacking's incredible save (if you haven't seen it yet, find it on utube, it is amazing), Young loses part of his pinky, and the big tornado scare. Or at least for this Southern California girl, the words "a tornado has touched ground and is headed straight for Barber Motorsports Park" is cause for a scare. Fortunately we did not get swept away to OZ by a big tornado and we were able to finish the race weekend. Here are my favorite images from the weekend. Enjoy!

Catching up from Indy MotoGP and the last AMA round at NJMP...
Hey everyone,
Still getting caught up on photos from Indy and New Jersey. What two very memorable weekends! And a lot of photos from both...
The Indy MotoGP round was very special. One of the highlights of the year for sure. Seeing KR ride that TZ750 was worth the trip itself. Then add to that getting to see Schwantz do a few laps on his 1993 World Championship RGV500 the very next day at the brickyard...it was definitely a top weekend.
I then headed home for a day before heading back east to New Jersey for the last AMA round and the last time we'd see Mat Mladin race in the AMA. It was a weekend of great racing and a good fan turnout at the new facility. But really puts a cap on the end of an era with Mat leaving the series and the old superbikes being gone.
Until i get a chance to upload the galleries from the two race weekends. Here's some desktops to hold you over... Enjoy!
