Dirt track... my favorite thing about Daytona this year. A nice new track that was well lit, speedway representatives that were nice and accommodating, and of course guys going around in circles with no front brakes. What more could a photographer ask for?
Even though I added more to my workload....turned into three 12 hour days of shooting....and it was freezing cold...mid to high 30's both nights... I was so glad I went.
Flat track racing is one of my favorite forms of racing to watch and to photograph. If you love motorcycles, you love flat track racing. If you don't love motorcylces, you'd probably love flat track racing. It really is quite a sight to see. Fast paced, lots of action, and easy to follow makes it a great spectator sport.
These were my favorite photos from both nights of racing. I hope you enjoy them.
Definitely one of my favorite motorsports events to watch is dirt track racing. This year's Indy Mile did not disappoint, with all sorts of action and drama that is part of the territory of bikes reaching speeds of over 100mph with only a rear brake. Fans had additional treat of the King himself, Kenny Roberts, doing a few laps on his famed TZ750. Which, let me tell you, was amazing! Kenny sure put on a show. The slideshow below is a collection of my favorite photos I captured that night.... Enjoy!
