Back in July I posted this piece about ex-racer turned pilot Chris Demopoulos having one heck of a keepsake photo – him leading the Hayden brothers Nicky and Tommy. Chris just sent me a couple of photo of the Haydens and him a few years back at the USGP at Laguna Seca, where Chris had the guys autograph the photo I took of all three of them racing in a WERA sprint race at Putnam Park back in the early 1990s. This is the kind of stuff that makes me happy to be a photographer.

Chris Demopoulos and Tommy Hayden.

The photo being autographed by Nicky Hayden on the day he won his first MotoGP on his way to winning the world championship at Laguna in 2006. Pictured left to right are - Nick Demopoulos (Chris’ son), Nicky Hayden, Chris Demopoulos, Greg Demopoulos (Chris’ son) and Alexi Demopoulos (Chris’ grandson).
