Huge wheelie
 

Was at my first Sprint race. Seventh run of the day, up against the record holder, wanted a quick start to at least look like I was fast for a few seconds, dumped the clutch too heavily and.......OMG HELP ME.....throttled off and got the wheel down, throttled on and lifted the wheel back up, then proceeded to swerve my way down the next 100yds, bouncing off the rev limiter and trying to get my brain back in gear.

Thanks to Annie Lee for capturing the moment.

The instant the lights went I was off like a bullet, for all of a fraction of a second, before my world went weird and all I could see was blue!
