2012 Buckeye Superbike Weekend @ Mid-Ohio

Recommended Posts

Another great weekend for AMA superbike at Mid-Ohio!

It's disappointing that the event appears to continue to shrink in size and sponsorship, because the racing continues to be fantastic and I had a great time. Fortunately the weather held off (for the most part) and I was able to get out and get some photos.

I went back to some of the spots I'd been to previously and tried to be more disciplined with looking for better angles and using slower shutter speeds instead of just getting a ton of shots, and I'm pretty pleased with the results.

Supersport race winner Dustin Dominguez on the Daytona 675:

Elena Meyers keeping the boys honest:

Josh Hayes continued his domination in Superbike:

Blake Young and Roger Hayden had a great battle for 3rd:

Not your average stunt bike:

One of these days, I'm going to just jump the fence and walk around in the credentialed area until someone kicks me out, because there are a few spots that I really want to try out (like the inside of the Esses). Until then, enjoy!

Nice shots, Natedogg! I might have some other shots of the Riders Discount guys that I can post up later. I'll check when I get home.

Nice work, Will. It was nice running into at the track! What kind of camera are you using?

Great to see you too, Brett!

I've got a Canon 40D that I've had for several years and a good 300mm lens. The combo works pretty well for motorsports, especially if you can get reasonably close to the track.
