Here is the star of the Ride Ohio board, 100Ohio! All winter he worked on this bike and posted pictures of his progress. It really is a spectacular bike.

It is kind of hard to find him, but he is in there!
This dude is about to get smoked.

This was a Sportbike Track Time event and I was very impressed with how well organized everything was. I was surprised how much actual track time the riders got. Everybody was very friendly and there were all levels of riders. While the majority of motorcycles were Japanese sportbikes, there were a lot of other bikes as well. There was a 1979 Moto Guzzi that got around the track quite well, as well as a few two stroke race bikes.
The fence did not help my photography very much, but it did prevent any flying debris from killing me. Even with my very limited photo skills and a giant chain link fence to interfere with me I still managed to get a few decent pictures.
The weather was perfect for hanging out and watching the bikes and it was great to pretty much have the run of the place without having to fight the crowds. The staff and the track was excellent and very friendly. We left around 6PM because it was a decent ride home and I had to be to work the next day. I really hated to leave, but I am planning on going back next time!
