Chris Peris, who was just 18 at the time, races his Yamaha Canada R6 at Road America in June of 2005 en route to an eighth-place finish in the Pro Honda Oils Supersport Championship presented by Shoei. Peris scored seven top-10 finishes in Supersport that season, with a sixth at Pikes Peak his top result. He finished the season ranked 10th in the championship. You might notice how compressed Peris’ Yamaha looks in this photo. I was shooting with a massive old manual focus 800mm Nikon at this race without a monopod. Any veteran photographers know how much that beast of a lens weighs. After that weekend I don’t think I could lift my left arm for a couple of days.
