Thanks for the comments. Yes the rear wheel spins really quickly on the corners (there is hardly a straight at all) as it is slipping on the loose surface. Even the riders get a bit of blur sometimes as they bump around.

Really good photo! Those wheels must have been spinning fast to still show motion blur at 1/1000 second. The rider's eye is a fantastic detail. Excellent work!

Agree whole-heartedly, Steve! I'm sure the "rider" would pay money to have that photo! Eye's on the Prize IS a great title as well! Congratulations on a top spot cjf2!
