    We are going to have a blast. Look forward to seeing "y'all" in October.

    If you makes you feel any better I have to go through three traffic lights to get there. :D

    I'm coming down from just north of Chicago, yahoo says 703 miles. I plan to sleep in my trailer at the track. My 4Runner and trailer are both dark blue metallic, so I'm pretty easy to spot.

    EDIT: I'm staying in a hotel now, so I might not bring the trailer (due to crappy gas mileage). I may carry the bike on my versahauler and save a ton of gas money.

    I'm riding both days in 'I' on a 2007 SV650S, blue tank and fender, all the rest unpainted sharkskinz covered with all my "sponsor" decals.

    I can't wait!

    Still counting down the days.

    I just completed the Ed Bargy Racing School, and I'm ready to practice some of Ed's teachings.

    I'm hoping I can get hooked up with a control rider who can follow me around and tell me what I'm doing and what I need to work on. I have an idea of what I SHOULD be doing, but that's often a lot different than what I AM doing.

    I did the one day Bargy class.

    I picked up quite a lot from in, most of all, learning how to "feel" what the bike is doing.

    Ed is one of those people like me. He likes to know WHY he should do something. He's very logical. I'm the same way. I like to know how things work, and why you are supposed to do different things. He did a good job of explaining the physics of how a motorcycle works.
