    There are plenty of riders down there I won't try to keep up with let alone May!! First sign of ridring over our head is we're not having fun!! The good Lord bessed my with a good internal gyroscope and some good coaches.Once Chaz Davies was down there and stuffed me in 5,so I tried to keep up with him,rode like my hair was on fire and was on the verge of crashing,,,,SO...good time to make a few points on that.Mark Sheldon does a great jo of covering all this in his meetings.It seems Barber in march and October are special in that many of us are "pumped" to say the least.Lets watch out and remember signs of this so we can all have an enjoyable weekend.There will be some very fasy/gifted riders there.
    4 reasons for crashing
    1)Rushing corner entry (can't get to apex...what's next!!)
    2)Abrubt hands
    3)Loss or lack of consentration
    4)repeating a mistake

    I spent four days at Jennings last January, with May, Taylor knapp, PJ jacobsen and a bunch of other fast guys. I didn't ride again until just last month. Coincidence?

    So the question is do I go out right in the very front or at the very back??? I guess it's be traffic or be IN traffic.

    Exactly. I'd like to think that although I'm not the fastest (who is?) that I'm a polite passer and a nice, predictable passee.....
