FrenchieR6 · 07-17-2008, 07:24 PM

I just got my tickets in the mail.

Who's going?

I will be there Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Don't go to Mid-Ohio...come to Grattan instead. You know who will probably win anyways.

Well, I've been doing every A2A track day which is 20 days this year.

I have friends that will race Mid-Ohio and I like to help them as much as I can.

Also Mid-O is only an hour away from my house... CHEAPER LOL

I do it every year... like I will do MotoGP... Unless A2A begs like crazy

FrenchieR6 · 07-31-2008, 07:50 AM

So, no one is going to Mid-Oho?

Well, I am pack and ready to go for 3 awesome days of racing, fun, and yes dang it, partying

I have my camera ready so I can show what you guys will be missing

V~

PS: any one ever try to post a picture on here with their blackberry? Is it even possible?

Heavy-Dee · 07-31-2008, 07:52 AM

Looks like I may be there for Sunday.

Wish I could go. Need to find a sitter for the kids so I can go for just one day. My mom seems to think its more important for her and my step-dad to go drag racing...... what's funny is my mom thinks she can't handle 3 kids under 4 and I constantly remind her, hey, she had to handle me and my 2 brothers! We were 10x's worse than my kids!

Rod "forgot" that I planned this weekend for months so of course he's gone to Houston for some golf stuff

Big D wants to see grandma and grandpa and his cousin Zack so everyone is happy except i'm the one doing all the driving like always...

You could always let Big D drive. That would save you some time behind the wheel.

Interesting column in The Mansfield NewsJournal, where the motorsports columnist blasts the AMA in general and Spies in particular.

Here's couple pictures from my weekend

1. Lickwar and I talking sh*t... I met him at Jason Pridmore school. Great guy and TALL

2. YUM

3. My friend Josh Galster and I. what we have in comment... #177. That kid finished 19 in the Superstock. Not bad for his first season

4. Me and this future young girl Nicole. She just signed up for 2009 Red Bull Rookies Cup.

5. Dean Mizdal and I. Nothing left on his bike. He gave away parts to fans... They are nuts

FrenchieR6 · 08-07-2008, 07:52 AM

6. This is one awesome remote cooler

7. We all should have one of those

8. This guy is amazing

... great with his fans and friendly as hell. He's a small little dude

9. Some races

10. Miguel after crash #1. A fan took his bike and drove him to his pit

FrenchieR6 · 08-07-2008, 07:55 AM

11. The entertainment while waiting for Red flad #1, 2, and 3

12. Lynn's running back to his bike to kill the fire

13. Here's that pink bike guy (Can't remember his name but he races WERA)

14. Walking away

15. This little boy was soooooooo excited to get this autograph

FrenchieR6 · 08-07-2008, 08:01 AM

16. Josh Herrin

17. Josh Herrin beating on his bike trying to fix something

18. Some Racing.

NOW... I was invited to help Kawasaki school this past Tuesday doing Corner work for the school in T-1 and Mid-Ohio. In exchange, I got to ride the track every other 30 minute sessions and ride with the instructor and students.

I got to ride and follow Misty Hurst for a lap so she could show me some lines and got past like I was in a stay still position by Josh Galster who was practicing.

AGAIN, I learned alot and had a wonderfull time. Thanks to Kawasaki school to give me that experience
