Looks like T10.

Depends on how you count the turns but yeah, T10 the way most people do them.  21 or 22 if you ask the medics and corner workers.

Thanks.  That's what I thought, but for some reason the angle of the shot threw me off.

Yup, the back uphill heading into one of the "esses" Sections before the rollercoaster turn.
May be HW though as I think Arnie Hastings is sandwiched between Alex L. and I on his 750 but not positive. Cool shot though! Looks like I need to get my "hurry up" on..! lol.. 
Edit: That may be Huntly Nash in between Alex and myself.. I remember his leathers when he went by me and he was riding a gsxr600.. And looking at the results from the ExMWSB race that is likely Cory Rech in front of us who finished 4th-with Huntly 5th-and I just held off Alex for 6th

Correct. I was shooting from the barrier wall next to cornerworker station 20 (just after T7). That photo was from the MWSB Race 11 on Sunday 6/21.

Sweet pics Kathy. Those young fellas had a good weekend at Mid Ohio this weekend too. Nash and Rich won the GT2 MotoGT class and Nash and Lazo had good supersport races. And to think..My age is still more than the ages of both of them combined! yikes..!
