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.

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

CORRERE IN SICUREZZA E' LA COSA MIGLIORE.
Lo speedway, anche detta dirt track, è una tipologia di track racing che si corre su piste ovali in terra della lunghezza minima di 340 metri e massima di 420 metri. Il fondo può essere di diversa natura: o solo terra oppure sassi, granito, ghiaccio o ghiaia.
Le moto sono prive di cambio ed ammortizzatori posteriori,mancano pure i freni perché la tecnica di guida è basata sulla derapata che fa il pilota nell'affrontare la curva.
