Springfield Mile Photos

Great shot that shows exactly where riders take one hand off the bars for drafting down the straights. Johnny Lewis (10) has two hands on while Jake Johnson (5) is reaching for the fork leg. It's right there, give or take a few bike lengths.
Nope, that's not Steve Red Max leading them out, but Willie McCoy who came 4th in the Main. There were 17 finishers (Brandon Robinson was a DNF). The fastest lap of all 17 riders was a 34-something second lap. How close is that?
Werner, Smith and Springsteen get the winning habit. I wonder how much it hurts Harley to see their old boys winning with a green machine.
Big crowd, beautiful grandstand.
Michael Toon, Pro Singles winner.
Zakk Palmer (81c), Toon (22L), Michael LaBelle (20T), Brad Baker behind.
Mees and Carr.
95C is JD Beach who jumped from the Pro Singles to the Expert twins this weekend and made the Main at the first attempt. Classy. 65 is Cory Texter (Shayna Texter's brother). Condolences to the Texter family for the untimely death of Randy Lee.
Mees and Carr again.
JD Beach, two-hand tuck. New PM front, old PM rear.
Carr, Mees and Johnson.
Joe Kopp and Sammy Halbert. Kopp scored a few points back on Sammy, finishing one place in front. Uncharacteristically, neither of them made the Dash for Cash.
