If you have some post em up here. Here are a few from 8/25. I'll be picking out a couple from 8/24 to upload a little later. Last one is still uploading, tried something new with the editing...

you know just what I like....I'll bring the camera.

If you are there Saturday I'll tail you and pick up some video or tow you around if you like.

how many people were there on that monday? Sounds like you realize the issue was not the other bike passing and more of a mental thing. Next time, keep focused on your actions on the bike and your secondary concern should be the passing rider....their primary concern should be making a safe pass. If you start focusing on the other rider; whether it be an engine noise behind you or someone coming past, you are going to start screwing up because you just went from 100% focus on your line, turn in speed, apex and all that good stuff to 75%. Cant really speak on the exact situation you went through, but inside passes in general can be a bit ratteling if it happens as or after you turn in. Just know that it takes a tiny adjustment to make room, no need to stand the bike up completely, turn in really late or grab the brakes. More than likely you could have ran your normal line there and been just fine. If they took your line away that is a different story. The only way to get through the issue is to gain more exposure to the situation....that can mean both track time(in novice) AND getting passed(in int.). Stay in I if you are comfortable with your lines and think you will be able to hold them if you can hear a big V twin rumbling behind you. If you think you learned from the situation and would hold it the next time I'd stay in I. If you are just getting comfortable on the track and your lines; bump down, nothing negative about it...there is a lot going on while out there; don't use up your concentration thinking about someone making a pass.

You signed up for Friday Ron? Don't think I'll do the twilight, but I could pit bitch. Signed up for Saturday and the 40.

Yeah, but that costs money and it was between the BMW day, Mid Ohio and the next MotoSeries round.....came home and scheduled MotoSeries. Sucks because I really wanted to check out the Vesrah open house after Mid-O.

I love that track. Best weather ever. Fried a tire warmer and still had an awesome time. Not even home and I want to go back.

The rig? Crashing a buddy's place. Rolling in early....hopefully.

So sorry to hear Steve, hope she gets back to normal quick. Has she made it home?

Grattannnnnn¡!!!!!!¡!!!¡¡¡!!!¡¡!! So excited! Want to be there now!

Are we there yet?

To add some emphasis greater than just plain ethics.....they may still have your card #

sure it isn't the mention of gokarts? by the way, sorry for the downvote jbot....accidentally hit it on my phone and couldn't stop in time lol

Last month it was about the same as mid o. First 3 sessions were slick, then it really picked up.

I love how you guys fight right before your 4 hr car ride together....planning to make up on the way to Grattan?

And I think we all have a bunch of $5 off go kart rental coupons left........

I'll follow and get video. All signed up for Saturday and Sunday!

after this is over, p20 has been 20% off for as long as I can remember

Was talking to a guy at mid-o, he had an aprillia that was wrecked during a trackday and insurance co totaled it w full coverage. He bought it back and made a dedicated track bike out of it. he said he was pretty happy with the way it worked out. I'd get it in writing from the insurance company first, but it didn't sound too bad really.

Track fairings, gear and save the rest for tires and track time. Maybe springs if the bike isn't set up for your weight.

I love long dark hair.

Anyone have a spare trailer spot leaving from the Cleveland area? Haven't registered yet, will be deciding for sure tomorrow.

Something actually from round 3; intermediate first session in the afternoon.

I'm thinking they were picking up the kid from the way they cut in toward the bus....then when he started walking out they just stopped. I'd bet they had no idea the bike was even there.

In for Sat and Sun; I'll be doing the 40 and the 750 or the 40 and 600 sprints.
