This is the tunnel under the Detroit River into Michigan, USA. |

I haven’t been to Detroit for a race since it was at the Pontiac Silverdome in, ahem, 1987. Ford Field is a very nice facility. |

We hadn’t even been there two minutes and the girls were posing! Ah, yes, the benefits of a 200mm lens. BTW, they’re all hiding smokes in their right hands ... busted! |

A friendly Winnipeg Bluebombers fan helped us out with passes. Thanks, Steve. |

Hey, this guy looks familiar; it's Ryan Lockhart's old wrench, Kyle Patten. Why wasn’t he working on a Canadian’s bike? |

RV2 getting his pre-race hypnosis ... I guess? |

I'm a little worried about Makita Suzuki's diet. |

|
Smile for the big lens! |

Michigan’s own Jeff Stanton did a hot lap on this retro beauty. |

I thought this was good but somehow I don’t think this kid wrote it. |

|
Tyler Medaglia (404) got a great start but worked his way out of contention due to some pains. |
|
|
|
|
|
Dusty also had strong starts … |
|
|
|
|
|
… and things were going pretty well until this happened. If you want to be the champ, you’ve gotta beat the champ. My money is still on Dusty this summer. |
|

|
|
Pfff ... as if the girls are gonna pose for you with that little thing! Come on, Carl. |

Villopoto is all grown up now with a hot girlfriend and everything. I felt like the stalkerazzi taking this photo, but thought you readers would enjoy it. |

You gotta laugh. Strategically positionedstraps that force the skirt to ride up. Pretty funny. |
|
|
|
|
|
The night was Millsaps right from the start. Great ride! |
|
|
|
|
|
Windham and Josh Hill had a good fight during the main with Windham holding on for third. |
|
|

|
|
How cool would this feel? Nice. |

See you at the races! |
