Ben Spies

This is the slow time of year for us so we tend to get nostalgic. Here's an image of Ben Spies, former AMA Superbike champion and World Superbike Champion who will be debuting in MotoGP this year. Can you tell why his nickname is "Elbows"?
I LOVE the shadow that Kathy captured.

My birthday

Birthday's always recall memories and this is one of my favorite - when I attended the Freddie Spencer School at Las Vegas Speedway 5 years ago. One of their mottos is "A school with a 120 mph study hall"

Old friends

It's always great to hear from old friends. I heard from both John and Mark in the past few days. This is me, John and Mark at the MotoGP race in Valencia Spain in 2003. A camera phone image taken by Max so please excuse the quality.
