    Statistically, those who say that word get punched in the nuts when it does happen...


    I'll probably swing by for a bit on the VFR but have too much to do this week to be ready to ride.

    Yes this year it will and not even enough to toss the rains on (it has every other time out) If it is dry I need to turn a 44 at least one lap

    Oh and I might play some to see how far 2 gallons can go (fuel light add 2 gallons to fuel light). That way I can run less fuel on the 20 lapper at TGP hopefully.

    Great day! Started out by seeing a friend of mine from the next town over. He slid down and we joined pits so I had good company all day .

    The first session I rode like goat a%%! Not just slow but no rhythm. The next one things clicked though and I was going good the rest of the day. The weather was warm but not that humid and a small breeze so almost perfect.

    Normally my best session is the one before lunch and while it was good it was not the best. The turnout was light but there was some park and point types and for some reason people were not passing. So the slow packs were a bit harder to work through. In session 4 I was doing good then there was a red flag. By chance I was bike #3 in and so got out on the front. After a tire warming lap I passed 1 & 2 and had a ton of open space I turned my best trackday time ever by a second (have done one better in the mock race at EB)

    The rest of the day was also pretty sweet. The only down was I could not find my shower kit last night so am low on stuff... think I left it in the hotel at Grattan

    Glad the day turned out well for you.

    I just got home myself. It was almost perfect out today.

    Every session. The setup I got work at Addicts day works great. I do get double the videos since it restarts when I put it on the stands but that is not a problem.

    Today the weather has a higher chance of rain but not until this afternoon mostly. The big question is my back. It has been cramping up some across the middle and started the last session of yesterday. Not sure if I can do all seven today... need to figure that out

    Only saw one. I was coming into the museum turn and saw a red bike and thought "wow he is running way wide" then he went out of sight and when I crested the hill was sliding toward the outside in a shower of sparks. Other than that there was just some people in the trap but I saw nothing. I did get a pretty good slide at the top of four on a lap today . And turned a bunch of 1:47 and ended the day with a 1:46 Been waiting for good weather and a clean run to get below 1:48

    Thus the frustration. Anytime I did not have bad traffic I could get 1:48 but not drop below. This year the weather has been less than nice and running quick with NESBA is harder due to the passing rules and the nicest day was with them

    Had last year not been such a disaster for me and in red flags I am betting I could have had you down 2:00 or lower by the end of the day. That was a strange event though.
