Nice. I have the same Fieldsheer jacket in red and black. Did you know that Killboy was taking pictures? I mean, does he post a sign or something saying he is taking pictures up ahead? Is he in the same place each time?

typically you dont know where he is going to be, but you see the cars and the setup before you get into the turn...usually in time to at least set up nice if you arent going at light speed!

You're gonna drag a foot before anything else. Check your footing. I suggest buying proper race boots, not those bulky Icons.

As Rae said, you can see their car with the gigantic KILLBOY.COM plastered on the side when you come up to the turns... They pretty much stay put from what I've gathered... The only time I knew they were taking a picture is the one where I flashed the shocker (which is hard to do when your pinky and ring finger are attached... goofy A* gloves)... I was going slow into that turn cause I was stuck behind some Harley's... I saw them raise the camera up so I flashed the sign...

I feel my footing is pretty good, but it's hard to tell from most of those pics... The second pic in the series shows it the best... The Icon's are crazy bulky which I think is the primary reason I was draggin' toes... New boots are in top order...

Good call. It looked to me like your foot wasn't far enough back on the peg, but you proly got big ass feet.

It's the boots... I actually have small feet... I wear a size 10...

Check out this pic though... you can see where I set up my feet... My foot position is the same in all the pics, but it just doesn't look that way in the pics from behind...

That's what I do, the angle of the pics just look weird. It's fucking Saturday and I'm at work, so I can't see the pic.
