Bad Boys Back In Town!

I shot this last Saturday at the Supercross track in High Falls GA. I was just off the side of the track as they took off from the gate. That was a rush!

Very cool pic. I need to get a real camera!

Thanks Steve,

A Nikon D1 can be had real cheap nowdays (www.keh.com) or even a D70.

If you think your local race is cool just wait until you go to a professional race!

Trust me, I went to tons of them in the late 80's and early 90's.

Go J LAW!

hey,

do you photo buffs make notes or what, when it comes to F stop and what not? what's the procedure?

[GlockSpeed31]

Lynn,

With most digital cameras, when you check the "Properties" of the file, it will list all of that. Right Click on image file, select "Properties" and then select "Summary". Tells you when you took the shot and what camera and a whole lot of other stuff.

Forty riders trying to be first through the turn is a rush. There is a tremendous difference between most local races and the pro races, but there are many local races that the start is every bit as intense as a pro race. When I raced national events the local "hot shoes" were often very competitive on the starts and then they would usually fade as the race progressed. Pro Motocross is like USPSA it takes consistency to win.
