Hailwood Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Went down to Mid-O yesterday with my Dad and had a great time. I was concerned about the weather, but other than being a little cold (ok, *really* cold) in the morning, it was actually really nice.I wound up taking about 400 decent photos of Superbike/Supersport Qualifying, MotoGT, and the Superbike race.MotoGT was actually really cool. Lots of interesting bikes that wouldn't really fit into the other classes, and the 2 hour, 2 man setup was really cool.Here are the best ones:Aaron Yates coming into the Esses during Superbike QualifyingYates coming off the back straightHodgeson hard on the brakes coming into the EssesLarry Pegram on the Ducati 1098R coming off the back straight into the EssesRandom R6 coming through Turn 9 during SS qualifying.Ducati Sport Classic coming through Turn 1 in MotoGT.Josh Hayes leading the front-runners through the Esses during the Superbike race.Superbike race winner Josh Hayes on the Yamaha R1 coming into the Esses on one of the last laps.There are a ton more here on my SmugMug site.

Back in the late 90's ~ early 00's it was his track, and he would either dominate or crash out trying.Based on yesterday's race, I wouldn't be surprised if he takes the top spot today.Those Jordan bikes were definitely looking good, and I'm glad to see them doing well.

The process was very smooth, and the prices reasonable considering what it would cost to buy the lens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hailwood Posted July 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Yeah, we'd actually be interesting in hearing what you used for camera gear.These were all taken with my 40D and a Canon 100-400L IS lens that I rented from the above site. Some of them were shot on a monopod, but most were hand-held.The clouds yesterday made for some really good lighting, so I really lucked out there.
