Hey Benny, is this the "masquito" you were looking at for your drive out of turn 9?

If you guys remember the crash in L3 coming around the hairpin, where a guy got run over... this just got posted over on HPC, a frame from a video shot from the bike that lowsided in the first place. The guy who is still upright then ran over the crasher, and when down himself. Pretty incredible shot.

Funny story on this one. Brian, is who rented the house up at Deal's gap. He got home from the trip and found this picture on his camera, that a buddy of his took.

That some guy who didn't even know Grinner thought he was funny-looking enough to warrant a picture?

Someone needs to photoshop his head and cowboy hat onto a pic of him on the track. That would be funny.

Kegan, we gotta work on your form buddy! It may just be the way you have to ride that big cruiser thing, but get that upper body off the the side and square with your hips. You're fast, but you can be faster, my son...

It may possibly be the track. I noticed looking a video and pictures a lot more people getting over, and keeping their head square to the bike, than normal. Probably because the track has so many blind turns... oh wait, I mean 2 blind turns. :SideSplittingLaughter:
