Not motorcycle based, but racers will love it..
The Gravity Series: this last saturday(9-17-05) in Irivine) was a blast... arrived in Irvine @ roughly 6:20am to watch the unloading, tech, and races of the gravity series. A unique series based on spec and prototype racing for gravity driven machines with a weight limit of 320 lbs for the prototype class. I was invited by my good friend and his brother... a friend of barry mcguire car guywho was shooting a show out there for his TV show.
A few of the many many pictures I shot.

Great pics!
Chris & I just kicked with Johnny O. who is in charge of the whole thing. Actually had to help wheel in Barry Maguire's car. Their garage is supposed to be on a show called, "Car Crazy," sometime soon though I never seen or heard of it. Johnny is a trip man, what a cool guy. He has pizzas flown in from Seattle for his engineering meetings!
So who won?

Yeah, rick is good friend of johnny to... rick was the guy that had the art work in the blue tent. He's on the inside with Jay and dan gurney Barry etc...
what do you look like?we were there from very early in the morning so I saw most everyone... I as wearing a Black Dr. John Britten t shirt sporting two Olympus digitals. I probably have pictures of you and don't even know it.
You know I do not know for sure who won, we left after the first run of the prototypes. We need a bigger hill :-P

really good quality pics bud</TD></TR></TABLE>
i also like the aria/volvo design. i have been to the aria facility and they do some awesome prototype/concept vehicle work.
it has been mentioned to me that some of the private entries on only a few tenths of a second off of the factory guys. for the little guys
the yellow racer sure looks a lot like the meguiars car........ also built by Southwestern???

Re: (MSchu)
The yellow/Gold car is the spec class Grav Racer... The Lamborghini car. things are pretty tight in this class, speeds for the spec cars were about 44-45 mph ... the Prototypes ran about 55+mph
I beleive this is the pinifarina designer that is responsible for the spec cars... About a $16k buy in required

Re: (MSchu)
cool now i am grasping the concept better.
the spec class is ~$16k
the corp. class is ~$30k
and then there is also soap box derby racers too???
meguiars has the pininfarina designed version, same as the lambo.
i do like how they are making this all tax deductible because the guy putting on this whole thing is giving "internships to foster kids". not a bad racket

Yes... derby racers to... the hand painted derby racer in the pics above.
Yeah whole thing is for tax purposes (whos taxes? I do not know ) but the foster kids are a huge part of the whole scene
