I took my camera out to Road Atlanta this weekend and tried out panning for the first time. I had a lot of throw aways but a few of them came out alright. Here's a few pictures from the weekend.

The lighting sucks in this one, but I mainly posted this to show how close the racing was in the supersport class. This is the battle for the lead! :eek:

Kinda blury, but this was early on in the Daytona Sportbike race.

Nice pics! Although you were at turn 6 it looks like and didn't get pics of me or my Miata :(. lol.

Was this Sunday? I see Jake Zemke leading? I have his parts in my room now. Sucks he went down leading. He was cool about it though.

I took pictures both days. I was pretty bummed that Zemke went down. I was rooting for him in that class.

The battle with Eslick, DiSalvo, Herrin, Hayden, and Zemke was the best of the day imo.

Didn't Hayden go down in 7?

yeah, I'm pretty sure he fell a lap or two after Zemke. That was an awesome battle though. The Superbike race Sunday was pretty close too behind Mladin.

Yeah it was, we were all saying at the meeting in the morning they should change the Superbike class to "Mladins Parade" or something along those lines lol.

Yup.

Last year he fell right in front of me right before 5. I'm pretty sure he's not a fan of RA.

He's the meter stick. It says a lot when one of the two that has beaten him went on to become the world champion. Ben Spies is already good enough to be a future MotoGP race winner.

It's funny you should mention a Hayden crashing right infront of you. I had the opportunity to go to the Laguna MotoGP race a few years ago. The AMA was racing that weekend too and Tommy hayden clipped a lappers handlebar as he was trying to pass him on the outside and went tumbling through the sand trap breaking his hand right in front of me. Bad luck i guess :no:

Laguna > Indy Motogp. That's definetly the #1 event i'd like to attend in America. Not Just because last years race was one of the best ever fights, but because Laguna Seca imo is Americas best track.
