The light at this event is always challenging. I shot during the qualifiers. After that the light was almost all shade and I decided to do a little riding.

Gotta start with a Donek

The mixed light in the morning can make for some very nice colors depending on how you set your WB.

The sun comes right down the run, so you wind up shooting right into it and get a lot of lens flare.

Shooting from the west side of the run usually produces the best results there. Too bad there was a timing problem shortly after this gate had sun on it. By the time it was corrected, the sun was gone.
