Little 500

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of helping out my old Little 500 team Black Key Bulls as their race day pit mechanic.

My friend Ren Jay shot some photos before the start.


Black Key Bulls qualified this year in 6th position. They wore the yellow jersey of the returning champions.

Prepping the bikes and dialing in the set-up.

Final adjustments to chain tension.


The last few practice exchanges before the start.







A sad year for Black Key Bulls, we lost one of our founding members and a great guy, CT Blackwell.

Black Key Bulls finished 2nd in the race .0024 sec behind 1st, less the the width of a tire. A heart breaking finish, but a great result and a huge effort by another awesome group of guys.
