Just Josh'n: AMA @ VIR

The Suzuki Big Kahuna Nationals from Virginia International Raceway are done, and Josh Hayes is a deserving Big Kahuna after winning the pole and taking two dominating Superbike wins on his sweet-sounding Yamaha R1. Please enjoy a few photos from the weekend.

Josh #1: Hayes. Superbike.




Josh #2: Herrin. Sportbike. (8)




Josh #3: Day. Supersport.




Not Josh: Taylor Knapp, 1st-time AMA Pro Racing polesitter






Also not Josh: Danny Eslick and his yellow Buell are fun to watch and photograph.











There was a class called MotoGT too.




Next up: MotoGP @ Indianapolis Motor Speedway and AMA Pro Flat Track from the legendary Indy Mile.

Scenes from last year: V.I.R.

AMA Pro Racing visits Virginia International Raceway again this weekend. With the Daytona SportBike championship coming down to the wire and Mat Mladin (presumably?) in a mood to dominate, it promises to be a good racing weekend. I'll kick things off with some photos from last year, starting with a couple things we won't see this year.


Jamie Hacking on a Superbike



Ben Spies on anything



But we will likely see some good racing . . .



. . . and surfboards in south-central Virginia



Can't wait!
