	Georgi Geogiev and Sam Whittingham work on the Varna Diablo.
The Varna camera bike hangs out in the hall of the motel. Sam rode this bike on Monday, but then switched back to the Diablo on Tuesday.

	Sam gets ready to down his favorite energy supplement before the race. I see sponsorship...
Damjan Zabovnik's Eivie II is very beaten up after it's final high speed crash of the week. Damjan was taken to the hospital as he started to ask funny questions. At the hospital, when asked where he was from, he told the person he was an alien. Good for even more laughs.
	The final crash obviously took him into the brush, and it appears he rolled several times before coming to a rest.
Freddy sells that same product that Sam was selling.
	The Varna Camera trike.

The Basque dancers put on a great show again this year. The Basque society put on the dance and fed the racers during the Saturday awards ceremony.
	Part of the show is getting some of the spectators to join them in a dance or two. The girls grab people from the audience at random. Hi Al, your "it"...
