Will - that's as good as anything I've ever seen. Love the last shot, too. It just says so much about the environment that these guys live in. Not a bad shot in the bunch and your post processing is spot on. Well done!

Those are just awesome, all of them.
Really great shots, my favorite is the first one on the second post. The blue bike-rider with the sky is great.

Lots of good stuff. The 10-20 shot is incredible, you must have been really close. I also like the black and white shots, very good conversions.

wow! thanks for the good words, guys! i know you all see a lot of excellent photography, so it's very motivating to know i struck a chord.

one note about that wide angle shot of the start...i was standing about 2 feet from the edge of the track on the inside of the turn, and i have to say that even though i've been riding these things for 25 years, the noise and vibration of 40 riders at full throttle passing that close almost made me drop $5000 worth of camera equipment. insane!
