AMA PRO Subway Superbike Doubleheader
Posted by Nicholas on Jun 8, 2011 in Photography | 1 comment
I went back up to Elkhart Lake and to Road America on Sunday June 5th to watch the AMA Pro Subway Superbike Doubleheader Races. These were my first AMA PRO races in person and i’m really happy I went. Craved a 300mm+ lens however. My 200 worked well enough though.
Many people think you need media passes to nail some great shots from the event, but I beg to differ. Road America is such a huge track with so many hidden trails and accessible spots to shoot from, you can get even better photos from the typical “media” allowed areas which give an even better perspective from what you normally see from typical cookie cutter media photographers.
Josh Herrin (@joshherrin8 ) in the Monster Energy Graves Yamaha had an outstanding weekend placing first at just 21 years old!!! Congratulations to him! Also congrats to Josh Hayes, Tommy Hayden, Blake Young, Danny Eslick and especially Dustin Dominguez on the Triumph Daytona 675 for placing second in his class. (Triumph Daytona 675 Rider here, so i’m a big supporter)
Here are my favorite photos from the day. (Keep scrolling for a funny shot LOL )
