Flatrack Motorcycle Racing Photos & Videos. The Springfield Mile.

[BravestDog]

I found these 5 pictures from the Springfield Mile on May 25, 2009 on the internet. I think they are poster quality pictures reflecting the speed and madness in high speed flat track motorcyle racing. In order to finish in 1-10 and beyond, you have to be a real risk taker.

These riders remind me of some type of modern day gladiators. I like photos which freeze the action and high end slow motion video. When watching video in slow motion, the riders seem to be so graceful at sliding through turns at 90mph, then tucking in for the 140mph straight aways.

Here are the 5 pictures,

1. The pack coming at you: http://truckconversion.net/pho...photo.php?photo=1500
