oregon raceway park, day 2...

2009.08.02
chris was nice enough to get to the track super early and pull out all our bikes for us before we got there.

lacy's diy helmet repair. her shield flew off during one of the first sessions, and this was her fix up job. worked pretty well, considering what awaited her later in the day.

gracie, our pit dog. poor thing was spazzing out due to the heat affecting a metal rod she has in her rear leg.

blake and chris putting on a camera on chris' bike.


the kiddie pool! major heat relief, thanks to lisa, who had the bright idea of bringing it. the inflatable palm tree behind her is actually a cooler, which we managed to keep stocked with ice throughout the day.

tim being pampered.

blake and lacy.

lacy had a getoff right before lunch, ending her day. she came out pretty much unscratched and the bike was surprisingly undamaged, other than a few scrapes and a broken peg.

chris on his way out.

timmeh coming onto the straight.

faron, one of the control riders and the local shop owner.

chris against the barn. which was the only landmark for miles. really. miles.

blake. yeah, it was that hot.

wet t-shirt contest for gracie. she won.

it was a few degrees cooler this day, and having gotten myself familiar with the track and having a ball helped get my mind off the heat.

the kiddie pool and blocks of ice we had around the pits didn't hurt, either.

3 thumbs up for oregon raceway park, for sure, though. the most fun track and most technically challenging i've ever been on. of course, i've only been doing pacific raceways so far. definitely going to make this a regular visit.
