Hey Tom, I've never been to BHF, but am curious about pics 1 & 2. How far away are the cars in the background? I know it's not a high-speed track, but it seems a little light on wall protection on that turn. |

There is also a hard barrier between the track and the vehicles that are in the paddock. |

There's a chain link fence 20 or 30 feet from the track barrier in that area. Probably not the safest thing you could have, but I would say it's many times safer than walking down any public sidewalk. To get to the cars a bike or parts would have to go off track, through the grassy area get over the tire barrier & cement wall, through another grassy area then over/through the chain link fence. It felt safe to me, but they do have you sign the standard "severe injury or death" waiver when you enter. |

I think I missed most of the people there! Met some of our BadWeb folks though. I ran into Lemonchili and Vampress. I recognized No_rice's trailer sitting in the pits. It's funny how you can remember that sort of thing from pics that are posted. Hung out with Dale (don't remember his screen name) quite a while, I met him the previous day along with too many names for me to ever remember. Of course I saw Erik and the new 1190 beast. I took lot's more pics, but most are pretty blurry. If they wouldn't ride so fast I could get better pics! The reality is that I'm playing with a new camera that is far from ideal for getting action shots. I don't enjoy spending my day looking through a camera lens though, so only a few decent shots. Fun seeing that may Buells all in one place. It's not that often that I see another one anywhere! |

I dont know what the advanced group was hitting, but I know for a fact I hit 140+ on the front straight several times. It ain't a slow track, at least not for this old guy. |

End of the front straight the bikes were moving. No parking or spectating in that area though, at least not on the outside of the corner. |
