Speedway races take place on a flat, oval track with a subsoil of calcareous sandstone. According to the official definition, this is a "surface of granite, slate, brick granules or similar unbound material on a subsoil of solid earth". Racers lay their machines sideways into corners (known as powersliding), with the rear wheels "kicking out" to steer them around corners with the front wheels. When cornering, riders brace themselves with their left leg to maintain balance. During this process, the foot is usually protected by a steel sliding shoe (steel shoe).
In a speedway race, four or six riders start at the same time in a standing start. Their bikes must weigh at least 80 kg, have no brakes and only one gear. The engines are 500 cc single-cylinder four-strokes with methanol as fuel. Speeds of up to 130 km/h are reached on the straights.
A race over four laps takes about one minute with a track length of 300 to 400 meters.
On Whit Monday 2023, MSC Abensberg traditionally held one of four qualifying races for the 2024 Speedway Grand Prix.
Speedwayrennen finden auf einer flachen, ovalen Strecke mit einem Untergrund aus Kalksandstein statt. Laut offizieller Definition handelt es sich um einen „Belag aus Granit, Schiefer, Ziegel-Granulat oder ähnlichem ungebundenen Material auf einem Untergrund aus fester Erde“. Die Rennfahrer legen ihre Maschinen seitwärts in die Kurven (sogenanntes Powersliding), wobei die Hinterräder nach außen „ausschlagen“ und sie mit den Vorderrädern um die Kurven steuern. In Kurven stützen sich die Fahrer mit ihrem linken Bein ab, um die Balance zu halten. Dabei wird der Fuß üblicherweise durch einen Gleitschuh aus Stahl (Stahlschuh) geschützt.
Bei einem Speedwayrennen starten vier oder sechs Fahrer gleichzeitig in einem stehenden Start. Ihre Motorräder müssen mindestens 80 kg wiegen, haben keine Bremse und nur einen Gang. Die Motoren sind 500-cm³-Einzylinder-Viertakter mit Methanol als Kraftstoff. Auf den Geraden werden Geschwindigkeiten bis zu 130 km/h erreicht.
Ein Rennen über vier Runden dauert bei einer Bahnlänge von 300 bis 400 m in etwa eine Minute.
Am Pfingstmontag 2023 trug der MSC Abensberg traditionell eines von vier Qualirennen für den Speedway-Grand Prix 2024 aus.

The Campbell Valley Regional Park in Langley is a large park located amongst farm land and with a sprawling network of trails for walking, horseback riding, and exploring. The park is also home to the Campbell Valley Downs Equestrian Centre and the historic Langley Speedway. Birdwatching, picnicking, and dog walking are also popular in the park as the easy terrain is perfect for families.
The park has a total of 29km of trails, with some multi-use paths that are shared with horseback riders, such as the long Shaggy Mane Trail that wraps most of the perimeter edges of the park. We just focus on a short loop called the Little River Loop Trail, with a short 1km excursion to the old Langley Speedway site, however you can custom plan your route along many of the other clearly marked trails in the park.

My goal with this series is to explore every day scenes under the cover of darkness. A street corner, a lamp post, a doorway. Big city, small town, urban, rural. Man-made light versus nature’s darkness–––light and shadow interpreting minimalist settings in black and white. To see more in this series, check out Cover Of Darkness
Early on in the COVER OF NIGHT series, I shot a couple gas stations. They were not initially the type scene I was looking to capture, but when I came across one late at night, bright and isolated in the darkness, it was impossible for me to resist, so I continue to shoot them. I have now shot enough that they have become a series-within-the-series. For a look at them as a collection, check out, Gas Stations
Coal loads for Alma, WI fly along the Mississippi River at 55 mph in a 3 x 1 configuration here at Sauk Rapids. Nary an EMD to be found in this consist, imagine that.
In the era of PTC sometimes you just have to include those ugly antennas in your shot and cut off the top of them. A stack train bound for Atlanta wastes no time zipping by the control point at East Brandon.
