Jasper,you have a U2U about that video.
Just got back from Florida,where we took in the Daytona races.
As mentioned above,the racing was great with loads of suprises and drama.The Supersport and BMW Boxer cup races were good too.The fast guys run so close to the banking wall,scary stuff.One guy hit the wall out of the rear chichane in the Boxer race.
In the main event Ben Bostrom went out with clutch trouble.He fried it when he came in on the first pitstop.At first the team thought the chain was loose as he came back in to get it adjusted.They then realised the clutch was cooked.
Eric Bostrom went out with 12 laps to go with a split oil cooler.He was in the lead when he survived a massive high side in turn one.This allowed Mladin to close the gap.He came in for a pitstop and the bike went pop on the next lap.
It looked like it was going to be a Suzuki 1-2 untill Aaron Yates went to pass a backmarker.The backmarker crashed and took Yates out.The team were that angry there was a fight in pit lane!
Zemke and DuHamel were way back and engrossed in their own battle,Zemke getting the 2nd spot by a wheel.Mladin was in cruise mode for the last two laps.
Great racing and good viewing on the infeild.Plenty of room to mooch about and four small grandstands to watch from.You can see most of the track from here.The tickets cost $40,about 25quid.The program was $10 and came in a waterproof envelope (with Daytona stamped in silver on it),a free event badge and a coupon to exchange for a sheet with the grid positions and times.
The traffic managment is handled by the Florida Police,who do a superb job.It took us half an hour to get out the circuit infeild and on to the motorway.British circuits please take note.
I'll post some pics when Ive got a bit more time.
