The Jet cars at Saskatchewan International Raceway. These things are fast, 260 MPH and a 1/4 mile time of 6 seconds fast. What do I do? Stand right where I am not supposed to. This car was just warming up the jets before it's pass.

This was a modest car that ran in the 10's. So I guess it was kind of fast. Nothing like the jet cars though.

A major draw for the spectators is the burn-outs that the cars do to warm up the tires for better traction. A lone track monkey is overcome by burnt rubber smoke while directing the cars.

Not only do the cars go fast, the bikes also like to put on a show. At around 10 times lighter than a car, these take much less motor to make a fast pass.

And yes, the wheelie bars do actually server a purpose. Just do ask how he steers with the front wheel off the ground for the majority of the run.

I had my ten year high-school reunion. I felt like dressing up, so I bought some new dancing kicks. like the camera geek I am, I felt the need to take a picture of them.

The Saskatoon Jazz festival makes it's way back to Saskatoon. With the weather finally breaking 30 degrees, people were out in droves.

The Superbird only went 10 seconds this year? That car is usually somewhere in the 7's. Cool pictures though. I miss going to that event.
