And Broadford is a fun track too. :) I have turned a fair few laps around that place over the years. Great pics considering you had to take them from outside the turns for the most part.

No, it was stressed to me not to get on the outside of a turn, I was mostly on the inside or catching them as they straightened up. The distance ones of them going on the outside turn were taken from a long way off and behind a fence, too far really for my 70-200. The photos have had the most hits on my flickr account. Normally not many people look at my photos of whippets but they like these ones. Personally I'd still go for the whippets :laugh:

No, what I meant, is that apart from a few shots, you have had to take the pics from the outside of the circuit...ie; the viewing or spectator area. I was more refering to being able to be say, on the inside of the last turn onto the main straight. So you can get pics which show the bikes REALLY cranked over!!! Kinda like this little avatar pic...... This is the last left onto the main straight. Because the road is cambered off to the outside of the turn, it gives a a greater impression of lean angle. For those who ride, this is often an influencer in purchasing pics..... :)

Aah I see. I think that last left hander is the only place they let me go on the track, I was up near a gum tree. I was quite restricted as to where they let me go because I told them I am a complete newbie on the track. I think they were right to restrict me for safety reasons so I have no complaints. Because this was a track day I didn't see many girls getting really low like your pic. They are pretty gutsy aren't they. I actually watched some motorbike racing last night for the first time and my heart was in my mouth, they are absolutely incredible, they have no fear.
