Gearheads, Rednecks and Sportbikes…Awesome

Last night I joined Jamie for a ride up to what used to be Moroso Speedway (forgot what it’s called now) for some drag racing. Nice night ride on the bikes up, a bit chilly but fun. His buddy Adam was racing his Kawasaki ZX1400 (same bike as Jamie, though race tuned) on the strip against a couple other bikes. We had a chance to watch him hit the strip twice, both times were right around 9.87 seconds. Quick!

Loads of hotrods, slicks, funny cars, road rockets and even a couple supercharged Jeep Cherokees. Loud, smokey and awesome. The scenery reminded me of the Highland County Fair, though regrettably not nearly as many red necks. Plenty of junk in the truck though, haha.

Aside from the 45 minute track shut-down for an oil spill it was pretty bad ass. I shot some video and snapped a few shots. I’ll post the video later.

    Hey! It’s been awhile. Thought I’d check in. I saw the vid on FB, awesome! I think it’s called Palm Beach Motor Speedway (or something like that) now??? I use to go all the time..but I’m so damn busy now…but it will all pay off soon hopefully. On Friday’s, I’m always down in Jupiter b/c my office and meetings are down that way, maybe I should checkout the speedway again! Hope things are well with you!
