2009 Starvation Ridge 24 (almost 25) hour race

Last weekend on Halloween day I headed out to the OTBG annual 24/25 hour race at Starvation Ridge track in Goldendale (or Centerville?), Washington. 2008 was my first year going out there, and it was definitely worth going back! Both years I helped out as a sweep rider, which basically means I have fun and ride the 26 mile track while looking out for anyone who has crashed or needs help in any way.
Of course I bring my camera along and shoot some fun photos. Last year I definitely went crazy shooting thousands of images. I loved the dust in 2008 and it looked really great in the photos. You can check those out here:

This year was a bit more wet and perfect dirt for motos, so I ended up riding a lot more than I shot photos! Actually, I didn't take any photos until it was dark out. I only took a handful of images, all long exposures with available light of the moon and moto lights. I really enjoy taking these night exposures... hope you like them!
