Here's some action from a mud race from the early 80's...and that's when I knew I was totally engaged in the sport; even mud races were fun! I'd suit up in a two-piece rain suit and house my FE and FM Nikon bodies with garbage bags. It was about getting in close and depicting the action on film; Cycle News West editor Charlie Morey was the one who turned me on to shooting tight in the turns with either a 50mm lens, or many times a 28mm. I enjoyed featuring as many riders as possible in news reporting. This photo captures Michigan Mafia rider Denny Bentley (25) while the rider pulling lead duty is the other Sun - Ron Sun (24). I can't remember how this moto concluded, but what really matters is that the image remains!
