We had a great weekend! We always sit on the 200m mark at Superbikes as you can see nearly all the track as well as see the Super screen and hear what's going on.
Max is 2nd in the Championship after the weekend, which is excellent.Bayliss and Corser must have been a bit peeved after Qatar *g* This is only the 2nd round that he's raced in WSBK and he's in there mixing it up with Bayliss, Corser and Toseland.
We acidentally formed a Max section at our spot, I was wearing my fan club tshirt and people kept asking where they could get one, so they stayed with us during the races. Hope Max felt the love! ROFLMAO.
The races were excellent viewing! In the crowd all you could hear was cheering and lot's of Oh shit! as someone flew down past us on the front straight doing around 300kmh to go into Turn1. Fantabulously excellent to watch! especially Max as he was flying down the straight. I had my heart in my mouth a few times.
We went back into the paddock after Race 2 and watched the media conferences and hung around and got some signatures. D3 got into the media scrum outside Max's pit and took pics of Max as they interviewed him, so she's happy and now wants to be a motorsport photographer, she got some great shots over the weekend. She's doing a photography degree at Uni next year, so she has some good folio shots for that now.
I tell ya though, I couldn't stand all that attention the riders get, people grabbing you for photo's and not leaving you alone. I'd punch someone just to get away from them and be able to breathe. I don't know how they stand it. I know it's part of it, but still. I was freaking out having so many people standing around me waiting, so I kept moving to a clear spot, only to have more turn up! LOL
Anyway, so... was a great weekend. If you want to see pictures, you'll have to email me antikva@gmail.com and I'll send the link to you.
Back to real life. and work. I'll put up another WIP later tonight.
