I had all intentions of riding in last night’s Dirt Derby but with a new lens in hand, I decided that it’d be best to shoot photos instead. That’s excusable right? With last week’s race being truncated by a gnarly sand storm, it was nice to see the crowds and racers back in full effect for this week. The hecklers were there, as were the beer and cowbells. Somehow, even in the pitch black, I managed to take a few nice photos.

These are also at my Flickr!

Side note: Sorry for the crappy image quality on the blog’s photos, I can’t upload files bigger than 100kb for some reason. Has anyone experienced that before? In the meantime, head to the Flickr set for high res (and sharp) images.
