We got up early Sunday morning & headed over to Putnam Park for the motorcycle gangs track day.
I think this pic is cool because it shows the shape of the track. They start below the "m". When Jeremy crashed, I ran from the "m" to "p" in park. More on that later...
Brad & Jeremy got a new tire changing toy & it got used...a lot. 
Suiting up. 
Doesn't he look tough?! 
I stood up on this little tower thingie to take pics. It's basically on TOP of the track & it's a weird feeling to be up there. Brad's on the left (77M) & Jeremy's on the right (23). 
When I was up in the tower thingie, I decided to take some video. You'll have to be patient 'cuz I didn't know I was recording (you know, it's a new camera & all...). There's like 20 seconds of nothing, but you CAN hear the bikes buzzing under me @ 140+ mph... You can hear people in the background helping me find them on the track. I did manage to get both Brad & Jeremy coming around turns 9 & 10.Jeremy
I even get into the action. I have 2 jobs: 1) take their bikes off the back tire stand thingie. 
and 2) help Brad pull his suit up over his back protector. See my arms?!
It was going pretty well. There were a few crashes here & there. Nothing too serious. One of the gang members did crash & broke his wrist.Then Jeremy crashed. I saw him & the bike go flipping through the air. And I fuh-reaked. I ran down to where he was, but he was fine. Just a hurt ankle. And I should be able to tell you what he did. Because they talked about it the.whole.way.home. But my eyes glaze over & I go to my happy place.
Now he has [more] awesome crash stories to tell. Yes, I said "more". He was not a crash virgin.
During the last session, Brad crashed. But I didn't see him crash. And I think I like that better. I didn't even know he crashed until he was driving around & I saw white smoke coming from the bike. He is ok too.
I love the grass embedded in the plastic.
The motorcycle gang.
A friend/neighbor, Judy Liebert, does photography. She & her family came up to watch Brad & she wanted to take some pics. They are freaking awesome. She did a GREAT job! She's got one of the hella cool cameras w/ the big long lense. She took a bunch of pics, but there's NO way I could put them all here. I picked out my favs.
She was able to zoom in & get pics on corners that I can barely see w/ the naked eye.
