2012 Season Halfway Over | Post Your Pics!!!

[d_mob]

I can't believe the season is already halfway over. Bummer!!!

Since we still have several weeks until the next round, I thought it would be fun to check out some of your favorite pics from the 2012 race season.

So, post em' up! Let's all live vicariously. Here are a few of my favorites from this year...

Credit for these shots due to John Chadwick and Jim Browning (Make sure to buy some of their incredible pictures to offset the cost, time and effort that they put into their craft - don't take them for granted or they will stop coming out and we'll be stuck with crappy photos).

Getting around High Winds Raceway between races:


This pretty much sums up my season w/ Nik on my arse!


And here he is yet again being a demon on the brakes w/ the rear wheel off the ground:


A good one from this past weekend @ PMP w/ Diehl running 2nd (just before he got a dirt sample in turn 4):


Here is one from last weekend in AM-O. I got tired of chasing Zach Ritchey around on that fire-breathing superbike, so decided I'd try to latch on and just take a ride. Zach's girl got a shot of me goofing off.


These last two don't really count since they aren't part of the MRA season, but they are from 2012...

Miller track day following SBK weekend:


Training on the SUMO @ IMI w/ the RMMM boys:


Let's see some of your favorites...

We doing August and October or just October? Should be able to get some more great shots. That place really is amazing. Smooth like silk...

I have no good pictures of me racing from this year.


I think I'll be changing that later this month.



In for October.

This one should be in this thread. The timing is perfect. I don't know how to link from Flickr as all my normal methods are blocked.

Wish I had a clearer shot of it, but with me panning back to get it, plus him going down, didn't equal a clear shot.

Ya but the one I linked at least shows him not crashing. For all the viewer knows is Matt is so bad ass that he saved that.

Yours just shows him walking to a crashed bike. hehe...

Its all in what we want to believe in right?! haha

[dave.gallant]

Dave and Carl going at it yet again...

I swear most races I can't tell which engine I am hearing; my own or Carl's! Its like having a taller, faster shadow. That beats you half of the time. WTF.

Wow -- that looked graceful. Awesome sequence!

Speaking of off track excusions, David -- get a pic of the football??

This one is more about content than the actually photography. Here's our 4-hour team at the end of the day.

Training on sumo at IMI...

why aren't you running CO? or is that only a crf250?

A couple of reasons... I don't want to blow the motor on the looooong straights that we run. Also, it is kind of a hassle trailering out the additional bike. However, I will be running my first Colorado Supermoto race on the 22nd.

Besides, I crashed it the other day at HPR trying to load it into the truck at the end of the race weekend. Not sure who all saw that, but it would have been a picture to add to this thread for sure! ops:

My camera was already put away.

Here's a couple mid-season pics of how the last round I was at (4 hour) went for me...

Something is missing here:


Hmm, I wonder where that went.

Ahh, found it:


You can imagine what happened to the transmission that ate it.

Yea...I gotta get with Dave Rose, that front appears to be pushing pretty bad.....you can see it in that picture, that really slowed me down that lap!
