Here are some paddock pics and Superbike pics. I have a ton more from Superstock, Supersport and a few from Rookies cup but I am still cropping them all.

While walking around the paddock in the AM we ran into someone you may recognize...

We actually saw most of the riders but I really just wanted a picture with Mladin and Hacking...unfortunately Hacking was not there. I actually wanted a picture of my husband with Hacking since I think my hubs looks like he could be Hacking's little brother.

The most we saw of Hacking's bike.

And they're off...

Parade lap...

We went to MotoGP weekend in 05 and 06 but I have never climbed the hill to the corkscrew before...I was surprised at how close you can get to the track!

They had to carry the bike...the guys did not seem too happy about that.

Because Superstock was red flagged and not started again until after Superbike we were able to go to the bottom of the hill and catch the podium. I have no clue why but everyone went and sat in traffic after Superbike instead of watching the rest of Superstock. :willy: When we were watching Superstock we were also watching all the people trying to leave the park...why not sit and watch more racing instead of sitting in your car? :idk: Anyway...we walked back to the paddock and the garage area was not blocked off anymore so we stood right under the podium with all the crew guys. :cool:

I ended up deleting some of the Rookies pics because I was running out of memory card space during Superbike. :(

Awesome pics.

DiSalvo is tiny, but not that tiny. He showed up during a track day I was at. Later, he passed me riding. Motherfucker is smooth as hell. Seemed effortless.
