I'm about to let the cat out of the bag about Leslie. I know how she does it. Her real name is Samantha and I saw her wiggle her nose before she took off on her machine. When no one else was looking, I snapped this photo of her on her pit bike. Need I say more?



Fantastic shadow work!

Congrats LP

Funny thing is, there is no photoshop magic going on here. Other than cropping out the other witches Leslie was leaving in her wake, the photo is real.

On the last day of the event, (Sunday, on our way to the starting line for our final run) we saw Leslie and a couple of others dressed in full race gear sporting brooms and jumping up and down in unison while someone else was snapping pictures. It took a second for me to realize what they were trying to do. After a half dozen snapshots we finally got some really good ones.

I met Leslie and Al Lamb on the salt a couple of times now, both fun, great people. I'm not so sure I like the food they eat, however. Before Leslie flew away screaming some wicked laughter, she offered me a bite of her sandwich. I declined because Tail of a bat, ear of a dragonfly, eye of a newt sandwiches are not to my liking... :-D

Cheers,

Rocky

I may run the triple next year, it was the only set up that could get my big butt up to competitive speed.  Maybe I will try a turbo..... :-D

There's GOT to be a story behind this photo shoot, can we hear it?

Deb-
  As with anything else we do this "activity" grew.  At Speedweek, I had Britt, one of our crew guys take the pic of me and the magic broom.  Others were in line to do it next when they saw the outcome (photo) because you look alittle silly doing it.  We then convinced the reluctant ones next.  It was a problem because we only had one magic broom.  The film crew from discovery also got in on the action!

Knowing we were back for Bub, I seached out and found two more "magic" brooms to bring so we could have some fun together.  On Sunday John and I were taking some early morning pics of his bike (my old one) in our leathers.  Upon completion I thought it would fun to TRY to ride the brooms suited up.  About that time Leslie rolled up and joined in.  That is when the curiosity of the ACK crew got the best of them and they wanted to know WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!  After a glimpse of the end product they ran to get their cameras.  This is when Rocky got his pic. 

The Bat was hanging in our pit that morning and was not feeling all that well.  Leslie fed that bat some water for a 20 minutes and he jumped up made 4-5 laps of the pit and disappeared.  Noonan found a bat under his cover a few days before, maybe the same one.  Rest assured Rocky, Leslie nursed the bat back to heath and didn't serve him for lunch.

Just as a side note, Leslie will be Colin Edwards Umbrella Girl today at the Moto GP @ Indy :cheers:

Maybe we can find one with a prop on it for Debbie, Naw I didn't say that. She might buzz me with a base ball bat. :evil:
