I'm sure there are a few locals that would get together for this.

I thought that was a pretty cool shot. I liked the one that had a camera in the middle of the track too.

That's pretty much what I thought about the race as well. Very boring.

They started putting those on the MotoGP bikes a couple years ago. It really shows you how far those guys lean those bikes over when the camera stays level-ish...
