13-14 Aug., 2011 My friend Paul Pace has sent me a bunch of photos he took at the VRRA races at Mosport, Ontario, Canada last weekend. Paul has been taking photos at the races for at least 30 years and he's promised to sent some from the archives that I'll post later. This photo above of me on my 350 H-D Sprint ERTT in the middle of turn #10 impressed me because of how little contact the front tire has with the surface. But then I see in this photo below that there is air under the front tire. It is a bit bumpy there. More photos and report to follow.
