Hailwood Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 (edited) I was out at Indy over the weekend and had a great time. Indianapolis is really a city that knows how to host a motorsports event, and I was really pleased to see all the enthusiasm. I tried to get some decent shots, but Indy isn't as good for photos as some other tracks with all the netting/fencing everwhere, but I tried my best.I staked out T9 with about a billion others to try and catch the riders during practice. Got some ok shots:Capirossi:The Doctor:Hayden - he was pushing so hard all weekend, I was really happy for him to get on the box:I was fortunate enough to get down into the Pramac Ducati pits. The photos are a little blurry because they made us stand behind a plexi shield while they were working:Downtown Indy on Saturday night. They closed down several streets and allowed motorcycle parking. There were a ton of people, and we saw some really cool bikes:Absolutely amazing NCR Hailwood replica. Titanium frame. Sub 300lbs. MSRP ~$125,000:Saturday warm-up. The lighting was terrible here, but it was really fun watching them come through.The Kevin Schwanz demo on the Suzuki 500 was awesome. I think he had more fun than anyone though:The rest are Here if you want to take a look. Edited September 1, 2009 by Hailwood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

street pilot Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Indy really is painful for taking pics without a pass. Looks like I might have been standing next to you inside 9 at some point! Your colors really came through, looks like I still have a lot to learn!

Hailwood Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Thanks for the comments, guys!Awesome shots! And that hailwood rep. is a beauty I probably stood and stared at that thing for at least 20 minutes. It was just so well done, and as anything from NCR, the fit/finish and attention to detail was just amazing.They had one of the titanium frames on a display table in the middle of the bikes. I was able to pick it up with one hand easily! It couldn't have weighed more than 10lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hailwood Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Where did you take this from?I took it from the grandstands just above T15 coming on to the main straight (it's cropped down a little). That was a great place to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
