Il be at summit main that Monday, its too early for me to start thinking about Mid Ohio. Following weekend will be nc bike with n2, then WERA at Nelson's ledges, then N2 at pirc. Busy /expensive few weeks of riding ahead...

What a great weekend that was. And clean as well, maybe one or two yellow flags?

I crashed in my race school, but it wasn't during the mock race so I still got a license haha. 209 GPA front, 50 degrees, rain, and the front tire warmer wasnt on, the instructors knew I was gonna be creeping around anyways but I survived about 10 turns before I crashed... the good ol days.

Pretty sure that is looking into the future at Azns first race this year.

Ahhh the rain free window. What a rainy trip that was.....

N2 has an intro group which is free and will allow you to ride in the morning in a group following a CR. If you wat to continue to ride in the afternoon you can pay for the day and ride the rest of the afternoon. If you decide to go to a n2 day let me know. There are a few of us that will probably be around and you can pit with us and not worry about bringing water or food, we got you covered. Mid Ohio and STT are good options as well though some of the STT events are a bit further of a drive depending on where you are from.

Ron and I are going I think. But it's my birthday that weekend and I need to see what the wife has planned.

You are always on the side of the tire that's for sure. That coupled with the abrasive surface means you will chew through tires. I took down 4 tires that I had as take offs from the GNF and the each lasted about 3 sessions.

^^^Sliding everywhere on a worn rear tire. Good fun but bad lap times. Scrubbing in a new tire for a couple laps and ended up in the 21s. With a proper tow I'm sure high 19s or 20s was obtainable. And just some other random session. Had a great time this past weekend. It took me awhile to knock the rust off and learn the track, will shoot for 19s next year.

Doesn't matter what it is, just glad to see you on two wheels again.

Got the B bike torn apart. Needs the suspension refreshed, exup removed and a dyno tune. The R1 got some new front suspension over the winter and a big front geometry change. Needed to get longer brake lines due to raising the front end. Other than that, some Evoltech rear sets and a shock refresh and its good to go. 1 more month until Jennings!!!! Maybe havent gotten everything done in one day but working on it bit by bit.

I jump on the gas to early out of the key hole, and again really suck going into 2 due to laziness and going as fast as I needed to. Helena would be a better person to talk about all this as I think hes been in the 31s maybe? Not sure how often he checks on here any more.

Not the best video for a few reasons but got a clean lap on the last one. We were all waiting on one of the R6s to punt the ninja over to get by. Wasent worth the risk since I was leading my class to make any moves. Ignore the entrance to 2, there an easy 1-1.5 seconds there by grabbing 4th was just going as fast as I had to. But anyways that gives some insight on what I had done there this year. Probably could have carried more speed into China beach still, and of course the entrance to the bus stop. 32s next year!

http://www.impactarmor.com I have heard great reviews on this stuff. I am going to probably pick some up for this season.

I coach with N2 and there is also a coach on here from STT. I'm sure either of us would be able to spend some time with you at an event.

Looks like a good trip. How far was the drive? N2 always has an event at barber that weekend that cpumd be a possible alternative as well.

I would like to go, but was at NJMP 2 weeks ago, PIRC last weekend and next weekend I have the GNF at Barber. Need a weekend off to catch up on stuff around the house and spend time with the family. Ron was talking about going but wasent sure if it was gonna work out or not.

I thought that was only Bill.....

I was going to suggest the same thing, going to a track day if you have never been. Maybe you hate it, maybe its something new to do for awhile.

You dont get much of a break on a 600 or larger that's for sure.

I'd like to say 48s but I only ran 50s with the traffic that session. There is one more weekend there in October but I will be busy with wera that month. Hopefully I can make it out, and the weather doesnt suck.

Ya, thanks you fucks. Here's a video from this past weekend.

You can make a start stop line for his gps timer to trigger.

Normal group will be at pirc this weekend with N2. If anyone shows up look for the grey R1 with neon yellow wheels and stop by.

Pirc and njmp those weekends.
