Lima Half Mile Practice June 2006

These are just a few shots I clicked off in practice at the

AMA Flat Track Grand National at Lima, OH., in June of

'06. Various riders in the shots are:

#1 Chris Carr, 7-time AMA Grand National Champion

#9 Jay 'Springer' Springsteen, 3-time AMA Grand National Champion

#21 Jared Mees

#11 Brian Bigelow

#20 Johnny Murphree

All of these guys have won and contended for race wins and

championships over the course of the last 6-7 to 30-plus years

on the AMA circuit. This particular track is a dirt/pea gravel

track that will get you hurt standing along the fence and getting

pelted by the pea gravel.

Great track, always a great race, and one of the best managed/promoted/attended

of all races other then what are hosted by IMDA in the state of Illinois.

If you get a chance to check it out, they always run the last Saturday of June,

it is a great event and a super eye-opener for the sport of flat track. Dig it!

Oh, and remember, go fast, and turn left......
