Scenes from the WMRRA races at Pacific Raceways…

It was a hot, sunny day – a perfect Sunday afternoon at the races. :)

I woke up a bit late which snowballed into getting to the track pretty late and up missing the first race. Stayed for most of the day, saw some old friends and familiar faces, met with the super-nice people at Acme Motowear, saw some some good racing and a couple of crashes, took some good photos, and overall had a good time. Going to the track is always a bit like coming home. Can’t wait for my trackday on 5/14.

The ride to and back from the track was bad and uncomfortable with the SV riding inexplicably rough. Ah well, can’t win ’em all, huh?

A LOT of people showed up, which made me very happy. Oooh… shiny bikes everywhere…

Poor SV looks old and used…

Ooh… futuristic…

Look at the size of those tires!

The new busstop…

Note the Hello Kitty bike in front. It was ridden by a dude too. :)

Mike Sullivan highsided in turn 4. :( He wasn’t moving for a long time, but he walked into the ambulance on his own, so here’s hoping he is well.
