12-31-07 - Happy New Year! I may have found the mystery photographer from the last race! I have posted her email below:

Hi-I was just looking at your motonews. I am not sure if I am who you are talking about. but it mentioned how someone was taking photo's at your last race. I did take some photo's. I just do it for fun. And well I am still working on finishing them up. Actually I have lots to finish. I had lots of problems with my wireless all season.

but here is where I end up posting them when I finish. Since I work and was busy this past holiday season with my job being a holiday style place of employment. I have not done alot with my photo's. But I am starting to try and post lots of photo's or those that ask. But I will try and post the ones from this past race I took at Byron. And since I have met riders at times I don't get all of the riders that is why or those that ask I will take photo's of. So I never guarantee photo's of all the riders. Plus like I said it's for fun for me. And I also am still figuring out what works and how my camera works really. But for the most part most riders are happy to get photo's of themselves for there myspace. The site allows you to order prints. but the site is http://public.fotki.com/MXdragonfly

Happy holidays and looking forward to next season of taking photo's. My 5 season can't wait-also I will say I like how the track ran in reverse worked out good for photo's at times and of what I heard from riders they liked it as well. Carol H(MXdragonfly)

12-03-07 - Since I have been out plowing snow over the last two days, I suppose it's safe to say the track is closed for the winter. We will be heading to the D-17 sanction meeting this weekend and will have our 2008 schedule posted soon!
