Haven't had enough? How about more 1999 NAC racing pictures?
Thanks to Teresa Cheatham for these great pictures!
The start of Saturday's race in the rain. Left to right are Thom Ollinger,
Jim Curry, Warren Beauchamp, Tyger Johnson, and Robert Wood. Top speeds averaged around
30MPH for the hour long race. I, along with many other racers, found some glass and
got a flat. ![]() |

Tom Porter, in the blue and yellow fairing had to keep looking around the
sides of his fairing to see where he was going. We were all covered with a heavy layer of
sand and road grit by the end of the race. ![]() |

Tyger Johnson passes Bruce Gordon, and slows to the mid 20s (MPH) for the tight, rain soaked corner. Note the blown canopy on Tyger's F-40 Lightning. |
| Sean Costin, winner of the stock races, tries on a monster chain ring for size. This 140? tooth chainring was made by a Russian machinist. | ![]() |

Thom Ollinger and his son Charlie hang out between races. That's Charlie's recumbent racer, made by Dad, next to them. |
| Paul Buttermer loads the Varnas up on the trailer. The Varna team came to the NAC's after a couple of weeks spent setting HPV records at a racing track in Canada. | ![]() |
The Infinity racing team, with the Infinity
"Banshee" racers. |
