Nelson street races 2015

This year was the 25th Port Nelson Street Races.  A fine day (after several days of heavy rain) and an extended course, including a dirt section for the Supermotards.  Here are some of the images from that day.  You will find  a lot more (soon) on my galleries here.

Josh Coppins was a popular star, with good reason.

Bruce Verdon won the Classics races, on his beautiful Manx Norton (which was on display the next day at the Classics Motorbike Show in Stoke):

I tried placing my camera down low on the inside of a fast corner, with a wide angle lens and a really fast shutter speed.  The timing was tricky – I got lots of shots devoid of any motorbike – but I did get a few good ones:
