So we decided to go down to Springfield Il. for the Springfield mile flat track race. We used to go 20 years ago so it was interesting to
see what has changed and what has not.
A lot of things have not changed at all. The PA system is not very good and it mostly a Harley crowd. But it did not cost to much.
Even thought it is a HD event the Kawasaki's come in the top in most of the heats and races. There is also a good mix of KTMs , Ducs ,
and some Suzuki's and even a Triumph. It just go to show you how good mr. Mees is. Tory Bayliss was there for the first time. He looked good but did not do to well. There was also a Yamaha FZ-7 for it's
first run ,I did not see how it did.
Even though I have not gone in many years it was still really something to see.
These guys are going well over 100 mph handle bar to handle and the sound just rings in your head.
I thought my Sony camera did well since I was several 100 feet from the podium.
