Red Bull USGP Laguna Seca 2010
Until canyoneer's figure out a way to introduce "Umbrella Girls" into the sport, racing will always be my first love....
Our next stop Speedweek 2010 on the Salt Flats and then off to the Reno Air Races.
A picture is worth a thousand words... enjoy....

This may be a stupid question but what exactly do the umbrella girls do? Aside from look nice of course...

An Umbrella Girls total job in life is to hold the umbrella over the rider on the starting grid so they can sit in the shade and not get hot. It started with motorcycle racers having their girlfriends preform the job.... and motorcycle racers all have hot girlfriends, it is part of the difinition of being a racer.... but the Umbrella Girl has now become a way to get sponsors more air time because motorcycles don't have hoods, roofs and quarter panels to slap sticker all over. But the trend has since infiltrated all racing formats.
