Does anybody know what photographers were at VetFest this weekend?  I saw them around the track and I'd like to see if any of them got a picture of me.

I was moto 4 n 10.. started down pouring as soon as i headed to gate for moto 10.. rained buckets through my whole moto.. diffy caught a pic that showed it toward the end of my moto.. whoops had rivers between them along with in between kickers and in ruts. Was wild.. after weather cleared out to start second set, it got thickkkk.. the sand would just suck you in if you let off for a split second..

Quite a few powerful storms moving around the upper Midwest. High humidity moved back in & real quick storms. I was in 1 a mile north of road America track Fri. Then Friday night in Hebron, In. Not far from red Bud a strong wind I thought someone backed into me. And then hvy sheets of rain. I was hoping you guys at red Bud wouldn’t get if . Because it was a big amount of rain instantly & thd winds 50-65 mph.

Looks like they didn’t truck in enough sand for this race.

My buddy was in the same class with you, just ahead of you in the 1st 30+ moto, he said it was pretty bad the second motos. That picture before the rollers is no joke.

I was in race 6 but my buddy was in race 12 and he said in that turn before the rollers the ruts were submerged.
I think they did a good job cleaning up the worst sections for moto 2 but it was still slippery from the finish line jump to the ski jump.
