    I was REALLY hoping it was a different track cause if you knocked 30 seconds off you'd be nothing but a VAPOR trail... hahaha

    V is coming on saturday? awesome news... Can't wait to see you guys again.

    Continue kicking ass my friend
    See you at GRATTAN

    Did you run into Kevin yet? He will probably have some good advice for setup and maybe even a few pointers on the track. I think he ran at Mirabel several times.

    Now in stereo
    Visionaries say "Yes, we can."
    Engineers say "Not so fast."

    and Seamus is awesome

I'll be bringing my times down for sure (so are the other riders I'm sure )
    What do you think I've been saying all along? Glad to hear you're riding well! I think Mark Van Dongen from Uber-Racing is the Pirelli track side vendor there. Check with him on recommended pressures. Good luck buddy!

    I was under the impression that Kevin Graham from Orion Motorsports did all the nationals.

    6th after this mornings practice.

    I just checked the CBR125s which are running right now, top guy is doing 1:47s that's about a second slower than the slowest guy in Amateur Sportbike so that's pretty damn good for such slow bike.

    He may be running it. I know Mark handles the Canada and Michigan regions for Kevin.

    May just be the angle of the shot, but looks like #16 is losing the front.

    It's the angle, that's in Fact Mid Ohio with Kevin making his first lap disappearing act during GLRRA's national event prior to the AMA national in 97. The grid consisted of 10 GLRRA racers (Kevin included) and the first 4 rows of the AMA Superbike grid . . .

    Kevin was realllllllllllly happy to see the picture. He ran and got his memory stick to get a copy of it

    Thanks Frank!


    Today was so so...... tomorrow I expect thing to be better, I just put a brand new set of tires and have another new set mounted for the race. So that 3 sets at 420$ each

    Racing is expensive
    Happy wife, happy life.

    But at least you like the spec tire. I was thinking that I may pick up a set when I come and visit tomorrow...

    Who knows.

    Not sure what time I l'll be leaving, but I'll be around there sometime.
    See you at GRATTAN

    Have fun... I'm staying home.



    J/K

    I'll be over even if V isn't there. you're gonna be stuck with me one way or another...

    I've already got your "special bottle" in the truck. Hope that we can find a minute to try a sampling of it as I am pretty sure it's gonna be a good one.

    Can't wait to see you and my body work.
    See you at GRATTAN
