Miro, the rallychaser co-driver (also shooting for Shawna) loves up against David Schwarz's KTM 690 Rally in Rally Pan Am's pit.
Roger Willis of Monster Energy's Team Gordon keeps up the team image of a bunch of total bad-asses. Not visible in this pic are the throngs of totally cute Romanian girls swooning on the other side of the caution tape from the pit.

David Scrwarz preps his road book for special stage number two.
David Schwarz adds a last minute change or clarification or correction to the road book. An official walked down the line of bikes at the start and told each one what the correction is.
It looks small, but the damed thing makes the same monster noise as all the other bikes here. I think it's some big engine shoehorned into an KR frame or something. Ask Niles, or maybe one of you smart blog readers (smart because you read my blog!) can post a corretion to the entry.
Looks like a good luck charm to me.
