August 12, 2012 Peoria TT

Jane and I rode to Peoria on the weekend of August 12 to spend some time with our daughter and her husband.  On Sunday I made the trip out to the Peoria Motorcycle Club grounds to watch the Peoria TT races.

 The track has no seating it sits in a natural valley and the hillsides provide stadium like seating.

 The starts make for some exciting racing

 The track is wide and there are often multiple fast lines through the corners

And the jump.  Peoria has the only jump and the only right hand corner on the AMA Flat track circuit

Unfortunately family duty called and I didn't get to stay for the finals, but the racing as good and the folk in Peoria put on a good show once the racing starts.
