The fellow campers were up on top of rv on race eve.........Kite flying..........


Race morning,,,,,,,,,,,got the bikes packed and ready to roll....



Race morn locked up....................


Reminds me of my early daze..................

They advertised with a bullhorn "Watch the race in peace,,,no nagging......5 dollars"


Infield bridge............


Goin' up


There is my bike, parked inside the fence on Crawfordsville Road..............


Sunny,warm and breezy....................Beautiful day for a race.....................



Took out all of the infield bleachers on turn one....................

Took out the bleachers on turn one to configure turns for upcoming Red Bull GP moto racing September 14th............

awesome phill. the pics are great and the short videos are just as i remember.....the flyover is too short and always wished the planes would go by more than once. the view from the track level makes me want to pack for next year. glad the weather held. any bike thieves there???? hope yours was still locked to the fence.
