I finally figured out what I was doing wrong with my image posting. A friend took some pics at the races this past weekend at Barbers. He used an 8 megapixel camera with a pretty good telephoto lens. I'll reduce these to prevent a bitch slappin' by the admins.

The first 2 pics show a collision by 2 bikes on the first lap in turn #5 (hairpin). In the first pic you see the rider starting his launch from a high-side. Note the #64 bike.

Here's Ben Spies in a turn w/ Miguel Duhamel behind. Notice how Spies sticks his elbows out... he has "Elbows" stitched on the back of his suit.

Matt Mladin butt-surfing from a low-side in turn 5 in the Sunday race. He had a funny quote when they asked him about it later... he said "I was coming into the turn and ran out of talent."

Matt Mladin back in the race after the low-side... note the rub on his bike from the get-off.

Good close-up of Chris Ulrich (I had to look him up in the pgm)...

Roger Lee Hayden (I think) making a pass on the outside. He broke his tibia and fibula in a vicious collision later...
