Well, here's about 45 of the 200+ pics I took. What a great day. Glad I could get a few choice pics of a few of you guys in the afternoon.

First off, full size versions of these pics can be found at my Webshots, Buttonwillow, 19 Feb 2007 pictures from friends & fun photos on webshots

On with the show.

Of course, we can't start off any better than witnessing Matty trying to woo Chip with the Party Boy dance...knew I should have never looked in there.

Early morning before the first session. Butterflies start kickin' in...everyone is anticipating what's to come.

As the day begins, we all hit the first 'B' group session. Of course, I'm running a little behind, and make it out for ONE hot lap.

Three of my friends from work came out, Matt, Dave and Miko. Here's a few of them getting towed by our Matt around the back of the track.

Remember that story about Matt racing with Jake Zemke?

Here's how it went in three pictures or less.

1. Jake approches Matt at a high rate of speed.

2. Jake shows Matt a wheel.

3. Jake passes Matt, again at a high rate of speed. Matt reels with confusion as to the blur that just went by him.

Until my friend Miko showed up, my friend Matt's bike was the ONLY non-Yamaha in the garage. Sooooo....we took care of that.

Here was the BEST fun of the day....soon to take an unfortunate and twisted turn...

Me and Matt shootin' laps. Knocked out about 8 laps before Star Mazda jumped up and bit him. Such a blast to find people to run with that keep the exact same pace. Great riding with ya Matty...get it fixed soon!

And.......the aftermath.

More....

Matty....you're 0 and 2 for Edwards Laguna Replicas....

Time for a new replica, me thinks...

Here's a few of Miguel and Jake, for your viewing pleasure.

For the photoheads out there, I'm using a 20D with a 70-200 2.8 non-IS L series lens and a 1.4x converter. Not a bad setup, but I want a 400.
