Hey, that's not a horse.
Roll 14 - 17
Mark Smith and Family. Wave to the nice camera!

Doug, Robert and Denise fixing Denise's bent forks.
Roll 14 - 19
Grease monkey Dan. That happy smile is because he just finished swapping his EX250 frame following his Turn 8 crash.
Roll 14 - 20
That looks pretty brutal just to fix a bike that was looped at the NRS practice start.
Roll 14 - 21
"I always wanted to frankenstein a bike." That's Jack's tail section after it was looped at the NRS practice start.
Roll 14 - 22
"Sorry Jack. It was like that." How many beers did you have _before_ the NRS practice start, Darlene?
Roll 14 - 23
A fuzzy Chris. Honestly, its not the camera - he really is that fuzzy.
Roll 14 - 24
Steve trying to get Ginny's attention with his "boobs". Ginny was more interested in her CBR400's carbs I guess.
Roll 14 - 25
My crushed FZR400. It flipped and landed on the rear, upper right side (tail section and tank cover). The tank cover just got scraped, but the tail section is toast.
Roll 14 - 26
Crushed FZR #2
Roll 14 - 27
Nice little bend there.
Roll 14 - 28

Yee-Hah! Well, not anymore. Note the dirt in the pipe.
Roll 14 - 30
Notice the kinked titanium exhaust, yet the canister is unscathed.
Roll 14 - 31
The fairing didn't break, it just got punched in. The lowers didn't even have a scratch.
