Love that last one ! Makes such a difference when the backdrop is green & not barricades.

The green backgrounds are nice but the rain that's needed to keep the foilage green made the paddock a quagmire. I will take your weather any day:cry

bikes going for scrutiny.

Brings back memories of when I used to go the NW200 races when I lived in the UK (loooong time ago now)

Love this shot mate!

Good work.

Andrew :)

I love seeing these. It's like the track is country road with a few bails thrown
in for good measure (sure hate to hit the telephone pole though :D).

Great shots!

It's like the track is country road with a few bails thrown
in for good measure . . .
That's because it is just that. :D

Great pics, Seamus. :thumb I love the close proximity to the action and the lack of billboards, guardrails, etc.

Thanks, Gus, Andrew, Ian & Tim. €10 for a days racing is great value and it didn't rain:rofl .
