Did you just get tired and decide to lay in the grass??

Everybody rides on the pavement; I wanted to be a little different.

A real pioneer you are Toy Store- I don't favor crashes by anyone but   love the sequentiol pics.

Un-impressive.  I rate it a 3 out of 10. 

BTW - you would have been fine if you stayed off the front brakes.

Except maybe the fast approaching tirewall!

I've never been to PBIR.   

Can spectators really get that close to the track with only a tire wall between them and the track?

Is that as unsafe as it looks in the photos???

 HAHAHAHA! They just re-did the track; that's the improved version! While the track is fun, it is surrounded by concrete barrier walls and tires. After I got up, I went to the wall and had a conversation with my girlfriend...

im trying to figure out what turn that is... and what lap??? i was in that race...

Some of the parts of the track do seem a little, unsafe. not saying its a bad situation, but some parts kind of make me think. Jennings seems so nice with all the open (bumpy) space. Last time i was there, i did a little near highside and had to go off somewhere in the area between t1-t3 and went flying through all that grass up the side of a kind of hill and rode that and went down and up another hill and what felt like got air off it (probably barely an inch) but stayed up. i cant imagine if that hill or something was a wall.

I've heard from people "in the know" that the pavement has a tad more grip than grass. ;)
