    Cool Indianapolis MotoGP '08 ~TONS of pics!

    We got lost leaving the airport and saw this in the back of a parking lot.

    Walking to the track...

    Ready for the Rain


    BMW's new dirtbike with fuel injection

    LOL probably the dumbest vehicle at the track


    SICK Z4





    F1 test car

    Hayabusa Drag/Show bike

    TURBO


    Old School Ducati


    Ducati Race bike


    New Ducati


    Badass bike. Sry for the bad pic


    Ducati's supermoto bike


    Kinda Ghetto but I likes


    Lots of people showed up for the nice weather Saturday


    We also went to the Indy Mile Grand National Dirt Track race. I couldn't get many pics. The lighting condition were driving my camera crazy.


    This was the biggest crowd in the history of the event.


    And finally. The reason why I came.

    125cc - The weather was amazing for the morning race.



    And then the rain came.


    Ya boy got wet


    The Safety car was haulin' all weekend. Here they were checking the track to see if it was safe for the MotoGP race.


    Turn 1 of the MotoGP race.




    Nicky Hayden takes the lead!!


    Nicky getting stalked by the Doctor . Rossi made the pass a few laps later and rode to the win. They cut the race short when the wind really picked up.


    There were wind gusts of up to 60mph
    Here's a pic of the inflatable barriers trying to fly away.


    Then the sun came out and everyone left



    I couldn't stay for the 250cc race. I had a plane to catch.

    This guy almost lost his poncho on the way down the stairs. The wind was still blowing really hard.


    I saw some Suby drivers on the way back to the house we rented.

    WRX


    Spec B Legacy

    Snapped a few shots while we were J-walking through traffic

    First to bring reps and *jealous*

    You didn't miss the 250cc race....it was canceled.


    I cant believe they allowed a turn to be designed like this.

    Just look at what happens if a rider falls and goes straight back on the track. Stupid and unsafe.

    Yeah it was unsafe. But that was kind of a slow corner. Maybe that's why they left the track like that.

    My buddy drove up there for it. He said it was only a 4 second difference between wet and dry. That is fast for wet.

    Yeah they were going super fast all weekend. During MotoGP qualifying Saturday the announcer said Nickey Hayden was hitting 192mph on the front straight away!
