    Due to a recent foot surgery, I have an intermediate spot for Saturday 3/25 at lil' tally I will not be able to use. Anyone interested in purchasing it? Only looking to get the investment out of it.

    Thanks DS .... more than happy to chip in a few gallons of fuel. I haven't made up my mind to bring a small space heater, buy a propane tent heater, or just use my 12v sleeping bag warmer .... the weather forecast temp keeps moving up! :D



    .... UV index at 8? .... huba Huba!

    2 Adv Slots open for each Day

    Hey guys I had a drastic change in plans come up so my son and I will have to punt the weekend - waaaaah! Any of ya'll have a buddy or two trying to get in? I need help! I 'm gonna lose my can in this deal. Can I sell to an Int guy and let him drop down a class upon arrival ,in the name of prudence and safety of course?

    I'm not crazy about the idea, but I'll consider a small discount on the price. I'm sure NOT looking for more! Even price or slight discount.

    Contact me via evh1@knology.net today or at work eric.hunter@jwamalls.com during the week.

    Send out the word to your friends - "Brother, can you spare a ride?"

    I walked the track with him on Sat. morning. Very nice guy and plans on racing this year in CCS. I talked to a friend of his on Sunday afternoon as they were getting packed up. They said he broke his femur and did surgery to put in a rod. Hoped they'd release him on Monday. They said he still hopes to do some racing this year.

    as for my s l o w motion ridin style, sorry if I got in anyone's way of maximizing their time on there. I did stay away from the open sessions to let you guys and girls rip.

    I had a great time at Tally and thanks to the STT crew for another great track day.



    I was Corner Working in the bowl on Saturday and then I rode Sunday in Advanced on #98. Red/White gixxer with yellow number plates.



    I was also the crazy guy that rode 2up with my GF on the Blue/Silver SV, but got on back for a few laps around LOL. I'm sure that turned some heads LOL. She was so nervous out there and I was trying to show her how to relax out there, and pick up the pace, especially on the straights. It was definitely strange to be perched up on the back seat of the SV! On the 2nd lap she was driving, I finally got her to open it up on the back straight only to have her grab a hand full of brakes while I wasn't hanging on! LOL. Thank goodness for the grab bar that was still on the SV. I thought I was going to smush her into the tank! When she hot pitted and we swapped back, she wanted to watch my line through the decreasing radius as that turn was giving her fits.



    I took lots of pictures while I was Corner Working. Feel free to look at them. Link



    These first two are vids I have with me driving.
