    Hi folks! I hadn't been to Grattan in some time, and having been bitten by the bike bug, I decided to take my wife to show her what sportbikes are about. Not as many bikes there as I remember, still fun to see. I shot some video from Saturday's action. I do like the counter-clockwise direction because of the action at the hill :D I met Rob Rowles by chance there; good rider and good guy, although Moe's opinion seemed to differ slightly... :rolleyes: (seriously, good guys, both of them) A bit rainy early on, but it dried out. Anyway, just enough action to get some good video. I think i got some good pics too, will get them back in a few days. (old school 35mm Canon A-1 with a Vivitar series One glass zoom) I'll post anything worth looking at later in the week... thanks for the show, all who raced there... :Pop: If you rode Saturday, you are probably in this video...

    Video from Grattan, August 23rd. (7.1mB)
    Due to operator error with the shotgun mic, there was no live sound, so you'll have to suffer with some "Wild Thing"...

    That was my first time to a race as well and it was very cool and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Nice pics by the way. My 10 yr old was upset that i didn't take her to the race to watch though so i won't make that mistake again lol

    That jump is crazy on that track. It is a really challenging one or atleast it was to me since I'm a newbie. I look forward to getting back out there next season. Nice video thanks for sharing.

    I am not in that video. I ride a blue 2006 r6 though. You can catch me at mid ohio, grattan, or gingerman. I usually attend STT events.

    Grattan was always my favorite track back when I was racing (Late '80s, early '90s).
    Never had the opportunity to ride it CCW though.
    Great video.
