im about 75% that im gonna go... i have an exam that morning at 8AM but i should be able to leave by 10 or so... get over there about noon.

i was curious as to why they are doing the testing now. so they gotta come from europe (assen) this week to north america, then go back to germany for the race on the 13th, then come BACK to the US for laguna on the 20th.

why didnt they test after laguna seca when they have nearly a month before their next race, and all their shit is here anyway? now they gotta ship all their shit here for a test, then back to europe for a race, then back to the US again for a race...

Always wondered about that as well. Maybe they just wanna waste more money?

Spies was the only actual "racer" that was there, correct? I'd heard the rest were required to just be the factory riders, but he was a loophole?? Glad to see the weather cooperated today.....Nice pix!
