Thumbs up One Weekend, Five Races

It’s gonna be a busy weekend… The second series of VDTRA races takes place in Sherman Texas at the North 40 Cycle Park.
There are events going on all week including schools for Flat Track, MX, and Arena Cross. I’m taking Friday off to shoot photos for one of the Flat Track schools during the day then on Friday night they are having Arena Cross races so I’ll hang around and try my hand at capturing some big air.

On Saturday the real fun begins there are two Dirt Track races, a Super TT and a Flat Track race. Sunday there will be a MX race and Flat Track race. There is also a Swap Meet, Volleyball and Paintball tournaments, and live music durring the weekend.
Super TT is the one form of dirt track I have never attended; I hope I remember that I have a camera in my hand. Below is the schedule for Saturday and Sunday. The Arena Cross race for Friday is at 7:00pm.

Volleyball? Paintball? LOL! WTF?

Yes, I'm insanely jealous. I'd love to take some photos at an event like that.

It is 30 degrees here already. Today may be the day. Sucks that I have a head cold, though.

That's a full weekend for sure, and the weather is going to be real nice too. If you forget to take pics you will be banned.
