Despite a cold morning and overcast skies, the rescheduled Iraan Sportbike Extravaganza for 2010 went off mostly without a hitch today.

We arrived around 11 o'clock this morning, and when we got there, organizer Carl Peterson was directing riders into parking in his bright yellow hall monitor shirt:



The turnout was smaller than in years past, likely due to the reschedule and weather, but there were still plenty of bikes and motorcyclists on the set:



Look! An old-school ZX-7R! Tim Kreitz must be here somewhere:



Heavy Bus Racing making a show of force:



That great Texas band Dingo Sanctuary donated copies of their new CD to the charity raffle:



Bikes lining up for the top horsepower dyno shootout. I don't know who won, but I do know that an N2O-equipped ZX-10R was verified at 201 horsepower early in the day:

A rather groovy, very stretched ZX-14 gets loaded onto the dyno:



The stunt show featured some tandem trickery this year:

Good times. A big thank you goes out to all the sponsors and organizers. I hope to see more of you next year.
