2008 is almost history!

Well, hope everyone survived the Christmas holidays! Not much to report, at least, moto-related that is. I did pick up a new flash for my camera. Santa bought me a new Speedlite 430EX II unit, and hopefully I can put it to use at a indoor here soon. I did take some family shots around the house and they really turned out nice, but I'd like to see some Arenacross results too!

I'll go ahead and add three more of my Top 12 and add a little 'insight" about the shots.

I got this shot at the Labor Day Race in Petersburg, IN. I miss out on a lot, well, almost all of the quad action here locally, but was fortunate to get to see alot of the quad gang at Petersburg. Corey Heath is from Wadesville and like so many of the area's fast quad racers travels through out the US racing the Nationals. Corey is the 2008 ATVA 50cc Sr. National Champion. I enjoy shooting quads, especially the little riders! He is sponsored by Heath Racing, Elka Suspension, BlingStar Ind., Liquid Performance, OMF Performance products, Moose racing, Smith goggles, Rath Racing, SixSixOne, Wiley Mods and SIMX.

Jalon is another SIMX quad racer! He usually doesn't have much to say, but does all his talking with the thumb throttle! He definately switches gear, when he gets on the track and is an aggressive little rider once the gate drops. In this pic he was waiting in pre-staging for practice at the Labor Day race. I was talking to Jason, Jalon's Dad, when he about ran us over wanting on the track. He has a pretty determined look in his eyes, and we quickly got out of his way!



Danny Rocke #89. The Rocke(t) Racing Team (Dad, Sean) has been around for a long time, and quite frankly, you couldn't ask for better people. Danny has been to Loretta's several times, and done his share of Ponca City as well. At this race, again at Petersburg, Danny had just recently moved to the A class and had traveled down for a share of some of the Labor Day Associations huge purse! In this photo, I like how you have the fairgrounds going on in the background, with a little, well OK, a lot of dust going on in the background as well. Danny is always exciting to watch, and over the years I've gotten several good shots of Ol' #89!

Hope everyone has a safe New Years, see ya in '09!!
