Here's Danny doing an interview with former champion Scott Russell. Scott was in and out of the EBR pits several times throughout the weekend:

Friday we were allowed into the fancy building at the end of the track between turns 15 and 16 and we watched practice from the balcony. Here's one of the EBR bikes headed down pit road after a practice session. The infamous white line that Danny crossed on Sunday (costing him 2nd place) can just be seen at the upper right of the photo near the end of the concrete section:

Cool "gearhead" sculpture in the building:

While waiting for Danny to come to the podium on Sunday I noticed a guy right behind me in an EBR shirt. Turns out it was Erik:

Link to video of Danny's burnout after the race Sunday. OF COURSE we had been standing directly in front of where he started the burnout and moved away moments before to get down to the podium area:

All in all, we had a great weekend, and I'm sure we'll be going to more race(s) next year.
