here's my MX setup;How do you guys cope with the insame amount of dust that we encounter during these events ? I'm not to worried about my D2H but I always feel awkward with the 70-200 VR as I fear tiny specks of dirt will find their way inside and mess with the VR and the AF motor.
I don't have the speed channel yet so I didn't see the race on TV but didn't Stewart crash pretty hard in the second moto and lost his front brake? Might have had something to do with that??Speed offered no explanation as to why Stewart lost his goggles. do you know what happened bryno?
Jim, Is that just a clear bag? I wanted to get something for the Budds Creek MX incase it rains or is extremely dusty. Last year the dust wasn't bad at all.here's my MX setup;

yes, just a clear bag. they had a nice interview with RC. he announced the races he's running.; the first 5(which includes Red Bud:biggrinJim, Is that just a clear bag? I wanted to get something for the Budds Creek MX incase it rains or is extremely dusty. Last year the dust wasn't bad at all.
I don't, (worry that is) I just take the dust and after I leave, I just used canned air to spray off my gear. The dust probably harms the equipment (even if it takes a while to do any visible damage or wear) But I don't buy equipment to play it "safe" all the time, So I just take it as fact and work with it.How do you guys cope with the insame amount of dust that we encounter during these events ?

I should have thought of that...
I don't buy equipment to play it safe either but I am not in a situation where the income generated covers the price of the equipment I buy so I tend to take extra measures in order to make sure my equipment lasts a little longer. Also, I'm not big on using compressed air to "clean" my gear. I always fear that fine particles will be "pushed" inside the lens. I'm not so worried with the D2H body but I prefer not to push my luck with the lenses.I don't, (worry that is) I just take the dust and after I leave, I just used canned air to spray off my gear.

For rain I use a plastic bag held in place by the lens hood, But It makes turning the zoom ring on the 80-200 a bit difficult, so I don't bother doing the same for dust.
