I'm still waiting to see pictures from Wegman Benefit.  There were some special pictures taken there, and would like to know who took those too.  ;D

Hey camera guy, if you're reading this.  Do us a favor (and yourself).  Please don't setup a camera on a tripod at the apex of a turn on the banking again.  It was ungodly distracting.

I know you removed it after a couple sessions, but it did put a damper on my session.  I didn't want to clip it with my knee (which I easily could have), and didn't want it to come flying at me if someone else clipped it.

Thanks.

So X, exactly how laps were you able to hold off Mr. Timme from getting around you?

And I'm sure that you two finished on the same lap, RIGHT? ;)

Till the results are posted, I can't be 100% sure.

But I do beleive, he is one of the many Ex. I caught and passed in that race.
The last White plate I remember passing was JT on the 720 bike, I'm not sure if I passed anyone ahead of him or not.

In that race, I thought I had fallen way back after the start. So I just put my head down and tried to learn the track better.
About half way through the race, I started to come up on the White plates and slowly pick them off one by one.
Thinking I was running slow...
I was shocked to find out I took a 5th in that race.

I think Rick's busting your balls, X.  Temme is one of the faster guys to run at club level, and has won his share of national titles in WERA before arriving here to sample the competition in CCS.
Nice picture, though!  That guy had more wrapped up in his two cameras than I've spent in my most expensive racing season! :o

I was working T11 at Autobahn that day.  I told the camera guy that it was distracting to the drivers.  He moved it up the corner more instead of back.  I told him it was a bad spot.  He did not listen.   :-/

At Gingerman, they had the cones at T5 right at the edge of the track at the curve.  I moved them back.  I consider it debris if it is not cemented down to the track.  The track workers there said that there had been alot of crashes the day before, when I got there I saw the cones.  After moving them back, I had only one minor crash at the corner.
