    Well, I spoke too soon. I didn't quite have the money yet and the slots are all pretty much sold out. :cry: :cry: Oh well, on the bright side. The extra week will help me get a couple more things that I need for the track. (Like a lap timer and a front wheel stand.) So on the positive side it's a good thing too......I just have to wait longer for adrenaline...... :shock: Where's a track rock when I need it. :lol: :lol:

    Sadly at Road America yesterday, Champ car driver Christiano DaMatta was criticaly injured when he struck a deer on the drack while testing. I think those first few laps might feel a little spooky.

    RA 8/13 on my new 04 R^

    I'll be riding a new lightly modified R6 - clipons, engine covers, frame slidders, tank grips, Cheetah race fairing, Any advice would be greatly appreciated.



    Went down at Grattan (turn 10) on my SV last time and Auto S when front tire (turn 9) got wet muddy when I got too close to apex. I'll be riding pretty conservatively....



    Does anybody have any suggestions as to the next best mods for this bike? I'll check/adjust race sag at both ends. Sus. feels very good on bumpy streets.



    My first race weekend will be Aug 18 at BHF on the SV.

    I'll be there 8/13 on a 'new' 04 R6

    Looking forward to riding this track on two wheels at more than parade speed. Drove my scared family around it in the rain in a Maxima SE a few years ago. Is anyone returning to the Chicago area (Gurnee) Sunday night (13th) - don't need bike transport unless it's available.

    I'm going up with my friend Chuck (03GSXR750) and he's staying for the Monday session.

    Just got my CCS race #231 and will have my debut the following weekend at BHF - Formula 40 lt wt.



    Cheers!!

    I will be there on August 13th with my new bike - an ex-Freddie Spencer F4 Honda - #19......I'm confident it will be be the only one there.



    Stop-by for a cold one after the day is over.
