but his 1:17 was at the gravel trap at the end of the straight last year. this year he thought he'd try something different and maybe do better. it didn't work out.

I think a few guys were in the 25-27's. JetB, Whipper, Northern and Evl... TornadoBait did a 26-27 last year, too.

OK, since it's been out there for long enough and I know I had fooled most of you guys, let it be known that my 1:17 was a lap around the parking lot and not on the track. There it is. I thought I'd put it out there...

And since I'm having a sincerity moment; yes, Seamus lapped me three times in one session last year.

My bike was red with a dual exhaust cause I like Ducatis but I can't afford them.

I crashed my bike this year just so that NorthernRR had no other choice but to let me ride his motard.

I'm really not from Spain, I'm from Puerto Rico, and my accent is fake.

I like the way you think, some red paint and a custom exhaust would be cheaper than what I had in mind.

Oh, and we all knew about the accent, but since it's out in the open now you don't have to fake anymore.

Does this mean I should start talking with an accent too?

I'm going to have to keep my accent now that I think about it. My wife's "really, really" likes it.

I just got back from Grattan. Robert Jensen did a 1:17.399 on his gsxr-1000! Tray Batey was also running in the 17s. There were some great races! Its amazing watching those two go at it! They both had wins against each other today.

I have gotten into the 31s on my CB-1 (400)...

31s on a CB-1, that's pretty impressive!

You just have to take 10 seconds off of your best lap time. 1 second per corner, that all.

No problem for the whipper.

What's the motorcycle lap record for Grattan? I thought I heard Frank telling someone about it. It was apparently set on a 600...?
