Saturday rained which sucks because I signed up to make up for last Saturdays rainy ACC. I hate the mid-west.
Rain Saturday rain up to the last three sessions then it dryed up, Sunday rained at 4am the day was good very HOT and at the end of the day well it rained! Many Red flags and Yellow all day.
I was pretty bummed - Saturday was a complete loss for me. I didn't sleep at all Friday night between all the generators and the rain. So, needless to say, I wasn't feeling it, felt like crap all day and it poured the whole morning. Ran the last session so I could at least see the track, but probably should of just sat it out.
Gingerman....waht's up with hot, slippery, tar grooves !?!?! heeh other than that and hte rain Saturday...had a blast...jsut got cooked on SUnday...well maybe boiled in my leathers is the better way to put it. Called it 2 sessions early due to tired and stupid was setting in....
It was good. Of course, as usual Gingerman did it's thing with rain on Saturday. Exhausted by the end of the weekend (heat and lack of stamina ) My CR, Troy, was great with some really good tips for both wet and dry riding. Thanks! And a good bunch of people, Curveman (the young buck ), kek and all to ride with
Glad to help. Rain is a great equalizer and patience is key. I had fun both days, even in the rain, I still had a blast.
Had a great time on sunday! It was hot, but I'll take it over rain. There was some very fast guys in A, I learned SOOO much following their lines. End of the day I was seconds faster. Plus I finally passed my mentor! (he was on his street bike with crap tires, but I"ll take it!) Hope I wasn't a rolling roadblock for anyone. Demostratta, I looked for you, didn't see you! You didn't cut your hair did you? That was how I remembered you.
I had an interesting Saturday night- Sprinter's belt broke, while returning to the track from Dinner, had to get it fixed on Sunday. I wasn't at the track on Sunday until after Lunch. I looked for you and also Nick... couldn't locate.. where did u pit?
Sat was great, (other than the rain) right up until I made my 250 an offical track bike. (lowsided in turn 2) BIG BIG BIG thanks to the guys who sold me a new bar for my clip-ons that got me up and running on Sun. Thanks to curveman for all the help in getting things fixed. YOU THE MAN. Hope your not too sore Tikki. I cant wait to watch you ride off into the distance again and only dream of keeping up. I had a blast running I group on my lil 250 hope I wasnt too much in the way. Dave, Sean is checking on his scheduel and if all goes well we will see you at Grattan.
Desmo, Me another buddy were pitted right as you entered the paddock. You had to ride past my bike and my buddies Aprillia Mille R. How'd you ride?
I don't how I missed that :shock: I was riding mid-pack in Intermediate on Sunday. I thought I would be slow in Intermediate, but kept a decent pace (although I went off-roading a couple times :lol: ). Fatigue hit me bad. I need to get back in shape before I get to the next track-day
You and me both bro, off roading is good as long as the wheels stay on the ground! PM when you're hitting the track next, I still owe you a couple beers! I'm trying to get Erwin back out as well. I think my next day will be sat or sun end of the month Blackhawk farms with Nesba.
Yo man I came over to your bike several times and never saw you there. I actually had a shitty weekend. never really got into a groove and just decided to pack it up after about 4 sessions on Sunday. We were pitted all by our lonesome selves over by the pond. Not really sure what I thought about G-man, just wasn't feeling it. Wasnt STT or the tracks fault I jsut couldn't make it happen for me. Oh well.
DesmoStretta your plenty fast enough to ride I group You have gotten alot faster since the last trackday at Gingerman. It was good to see ya and if you keep it on the track next time ill let you pass me again and again lol. It was really nice of you to slow down for me and let me pass you back. Dont goto the gym. Ill never catch ya if you get in really good shape.
I think most of us had a good time Sunday but all that rain Saturday SUCKED! Kek70 it was fun riding side by side with you on the track hope to see you and Sean at Grattan on the Sept 5th!!!! You and your 250 will have a BLAST on that track!! And you may lap me............not. lol Like always many thanks to the Staff and also D.Baker for all the info he has shared this summer with me!!!
