Speedway Fall Classic



The pack, through turns 3 and 4, handlebar to handlebar at over 60mph.



Bobby Boogaloo Schwartz leads Charlie The Edge Venegas. Venegas is the current USA champ, hence the #1.



Boogaloo headed into the pits after winning a heat. This dude is 50 years old and still winning races. Check the mojo on the back of his bike.



I wish I had been shooting where that photographer was. It was difficult to get any good shots from the stands and getting too close to the outside of the track meant getting dirt-clodded.



Flyin' Mike Faria, living up to his name into turn three.



Faria's maxi-mullet!



Faria leads Larsen in turn three.



Fast Eddie Castro leads Blair and Larsen in turn four.

The kiddo had a blast and even saw a few friends from school there. After two years of trying to talk her into going, she finally went and as predicted, wants to go back next season.

Interesting factoid, Josh Larsen is sponsored by Dave Mustain and Megadeth.

My daughter had never been and was saying "cool" at the qualifiers, but when the pros hit the track was simply amazed at the speed and skills displayed. I'm not going to let her get a mullet.
