Tom and a track coach rounding turn 1. Check out the tire skid marks! Two riders did low-side on this turn on Monday. Neither one got hurt. It was a deceiving turn.

Thanks, Pete.

You're right, Dan - I'm sitting here figuring out how to get my next 'fix'. Damn that was fun. It didn't help that I went to watch the NESBA day at Beaver on Saturday. I'm thinking of doing Beaver with Champion or NESBA in Oct....

mklep,

Looks like you saw me even if I didn't see you! That's you behind me in turn 1, I believe (I'm in the loud red white and black leathers). The yellow bike in front of me was husband of the Ducati traffic-jam team. The wife on her 620 Monster Dark was in front of him.

Rob
Looking good! Nice lean! Wow! You da man!

Yea, if memory serves me right, you were able to get around them in the next straight away. I remember getting stuck behind them for what seemed like a month. Still had tons of fun though!

By the way, nice form. I believe you had just recently past me on the track
