I put a few photos from yesterday in my photo gallery www.pbase.com/thomasef of some of the pros that came practicing at my buddies track yesterday.Not as many people showed up to ride as in the past though. Barcia,Dowd and a few others tore up the track.Click the link under each photo to see it full size.

Is dowd gonna race again? If he's kept his speed I think he'd have a chance for a podium

Yup,he is signed up for Southwick. Dowdy was going pretty fast yesterday,He is a amazing guy going that fast at 44 years old.Justin wasn't really pulling away from him,Dowd was on his 450 so he pulled Justin up the hills but Justin caught up on the downhills.He has a good chance to podium.

Dowd is the man, he should top 10 i would think. Barring any crashes or wierd things happening. And if he was to podium at age 44, the guys behind him should just quit. Woohoo

I agree, Dowd is insanely fast and dialed at 338. The field is ripe for him to pick a podium spot if all goes well. I would love to see it.
I was actually caught of guard at Dilla when he was on a Kx 250. Guess I just got real used to him riding yellow.

Wow, nice pics! The last one where the sand is leaving his bike is very descreptive for the brutality represented in our sport and also the reason why I feel so passinate about this.

In short: cool pic! Smile

What do you shooters use to protect your gear in downpours? And where do ya get those snazzy "vests" with all the big pockets for lenses and such?

A Umbrella and plastic bags. lol I'm trying to find a way to put a umbrella holder on my vest right now Smile Mxsports provides the vests at the nationals but you can get something close to those from a photo supply shop or website.
