GB this weekend!

I took about 460 pics on the Friday practices, but the Saturday and Sunday were so busy when you guys started picking up the pace that I didn't feel comfortable taking my attention away from all the riders going through T1-T2 to take more pics. Race Sunday was nuts and amazing and exhausting to keep track of! Loved watching the battles between you folks.

I saw a number of photographers out there everyday. Hoping some more chime in with shots. Haven't had the time to go through my pics yet.

I hope the rider who highsided at the end of the endurance run is ok. I understand he ended up with a concussion and broken collar bone. Never heard more about the Racer5 rider who took a nasty fall in T1. Hope he's ok.

Kellen, I'm assuming you got your bike problems fixed?

It was a fuel pump. He missed qualifying for LW and HW but we got a new fuel pump installed Saturday afternoon and the bike running properly again for Sunday.
 
Really good weekend - great to finally get back to it after a while away, on my part at least. Long way to go to catch the faster riders, but made some decent gains for my first time at GB. Big thanks once more to Ken for all the effort he puts into this. It shows!

I have a few pictures from Sunday, mostly of the 6th and 7th races (Novice Open and Vintage/Formula 2 stroke), so Tim, theres a couple good ones of you in there. Also the pit-bike race at lunch. Here's the album link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/29772091@N06/sets/72157630840312436/

A couple from the set:

I did! I remember you mentioning it before that weekend. I also noticed you did better and better in T2 as the weekend progressed! You got smooth fast! :)

I can't say I'd pick up the pace as quickly as you. T2 scares the b'jebus out of me. All double apex corners do. I have no idea why.

I will get to these pics this weekend. Sorry for the delay, folks.

Thanks, i loved that turn, as well and big daddy and the carrousel, everything else not so much :)

I worked hard at it, I think spending a full hr lapping without stopping on the endurance race really helped me get a lot better

My best lap was 1:16, crappy but i improved 4 sec over the 3 days
