Dale Johnson and Team R&D Machine Racing/Columbia River Moto-Sports experience a little Rock Star Treatment at the track 8/19/2006.

Bonny Tuller from Wild Child Magazine was on location at PIR to meet the members of Team R&D Machine Racing/Columbia River Moto-Sports road racing team from Portland/Vancouver. Accompanied by her photographer, she conducted interviews and recorded some team photographs and some candid photos as well. Her magazine is due to be published on its registered domain www.wildchildmag.com and currently resides on www.myspace.com/wildchildmag . On top of his first interview, Dale had his first request for an autograph. To borrow a quote from Luke Morgan, a racer from the same club, “I’m not a fast guy, I just play one on the internet.” Its surreal to look around and see all these guys who are fast and inspiring to me, to have a half way decent riding position and lean angle apexing what I like to call Kodak Corner (PIR’s turn 9). Our photographer Jon Fitch of http://.darkroom.orebrds.net produce an awesome set of enlarged photographs offering one to me for a signature on the other for him.
It took me fully 15 minutes to decide which one I would be walking away with. One was a large standard print, the other a large special silver print that almost looked engraved. The detail was incredible. I settled on taking the less fancy of the two, figuring Jon would be able to further market his talent with the silver photo.

Ciao!
