MotoGP

Brian and I went to the MotoGP race on August 29 and had a great time. Here are a few images from our time there.

This is looking at the pagoda from inside the track.


The various motorcycle manufacturers had tents set up to show their stuff, so we spent some time walking through them. Here's Brian on a Honda. Looks like he just needs a license and he's ready to go!


These are some of the Moto2 GP racers. We got there too late to see the entire race, but we caught a few laps.

This is one of the MotoGP racers. I don't remember which one.


This is an American who was on the pole for the race. He was from Texas. He stayed in front for a while, but was passed about midway through the race by the eventual winner. He finished 2nd.


They had 3 parachutists drop in before the start of the MotoGP race. The announcer obviously couldn't see them as he kept saying they would arrive any minute while we were watching them drop from the sky. Even after they landed, the announcer was still encouraging everyone to watch for them.
