RVT and I are planning on going and I will have to start at the bottom. I think RVT will be also but we're still debating on the day though. I don't know if I want to do the "N" "I" "A" day or the All in Two. I'm leaning towards the all in two because it means more time on the track, but I don't want to be a huge distraction to some of the "I" guys. But it will let me get used to being passed and learning to hold my lines. Still up in the air though.

Who knows, maybe this time Lizard will get his bike out of the trailer?

If it rains, it sits at Mid-Ohio. I have had some serious situations arise when out on that track in the wet and it does me no good to even attempt to ride it...

It came out on Tuesday and it felt GREAT!!! I got to play in advanced group and I even hunted down and passed a few of the top WERA guys. I was reeling Jonas in a bit, but he wasn't on his "A" game, but it still felt good... I had plenty left had I been needing it.

Overall, Tuesday felt the best I have ever felt at Mid-Ohio. Hope that isn't an indicator of bad things to come...

Just bustin' your balls a bit. Plus it helps me cope with being there in the rain and being at work the next day when it was dry.

One could argue that mid-ohio in the rain is an exercise in trying to prove Darwin right.

I Stayed with Jonas an Pett for 4 laps at Grattan this year then started getting tired (last race of the day) and just didn't care to push.

Jonas had a mechanical issue couple laps later... I feel sorry for R6 guys right now (ok maybe not o bad :rolleyes:)

New R6 sales pitch.. "Got motor?" "You'll need another one."

yea if i would've had the surgery within a week, i would already be back on the bike prolly. took 'em a month to get it figured out. and i just realized today that my toes are still numb...feels like they are permanently asleep. gay! I wanted to go to grattan for the national, i know i would've been in the 22's easily that day. i think i could get down to 21 if i had everything dialed and actually pushed it.

you should let me take that 1k out at a trackday ;) i'm planning to make the move up to one for next year, but i wanna get a wicked fast time at mid-o on the six first.

Well if I had a trackday at Mid OH I could go to I would have.

But I got the last weekend in September coaching at putnam, and then I am heading down to nashville Oct 4-5 for a final season hoorah

If you want to head down with me let me know I got room for 3 bikes (free hotel room).

Well if you do the TD at Putnam you can take it out in a Advance run since I will only be doing Beginner and Int since it will be my first time on bike since my Bitch Slapping.
