I like the third one best, with the pack of riders coming right at you. Some real nice photos, looks like it was exciting to photograph.

chasrich, these were shot with a canon 300mmf/2.8IS mounted on a canon 1DMKIII


Thanks everyone for looking and your kind comments
The third photo was taken from under the railing encroaching on the track a bit, objects appear closer in the camera than they actually are, so had time to move out of the way.
