Kent Howerton in flight on the RH Suzuki

I used to like infield shots at Daytona, shooting into the front straightaway stands.  This was the era where if you had a photo pass, you were all-in.  Could walk anywhere and take any angle you wanted...wasn't yet the age of restrictions, safe zones and photo areas.

This shot of Kent Howerton in flight on the factory RH Suzuki tells it all...shot with either a wide angle 28mm or a 50mm lens (can't remember which) allowed one to get close and crop in the action.

Thanks to photo king Charlie Morey for teaching me about motocross as a fine art; we were years away from long lenses and auto-focus and I believe it also made us more a part of the action.
