There wasn't a whole lot of sunshine at the Sunburst showdown. The 'Top Fuel' is the feature bike this year, but all high end bikes are in short supply these days, keeping the prices up.
The #1 reason I didn't race was money. The #2 reason is my weight is too high, or maybe it was because I wasn't over my cold. So I went to take picture and hike the ski hill. And the weather was overcast and very humid. I was happy I decided not to race until I saw and remembered how many other, even sport racers are in worse shape than myself. Many people decided not to finish the race.
They look like mice in a maze or perhaps ants scurrying around a nest. So goes the Sunburst course, weaving and bobbing to make most of the land available.
I took some pictures of the citizen (above) and sport races and recorded video of the elite/comp starts. I will get them up on flick'r today and you/tube a bit later. Sorry to those I didn't catch on camera. I could see the anticipation in the eyes of some. Obviously aware of my mad photography skills. And then there were those few spewing snot in an obviously aggressive and violent manner.
Looked for a new angle on the banked turn.
Obviously some took the turn faster than others.
Talked to Dave. His team has a new sponsor. Found a new product on my offers page, Ice Wraps. I think it is a bit late to get into the WORS photo contest. My video file appear to be too large for conveniently showing on the Internet. If anyone has some suggestions on how to fix that let me know.
