You forgot .45

Colt .45
But that's for AFTER ;D
How many riders usually show up? I will need to be in the sub-novice class :-\, so I might be riding alone, but I'll be riding.
This is full-blown Track Day, so AMS has the entire track for the day.
Check with Tara in Alvaredo for attendance, but I think they limit it to around 30 people. We split into 3 groups, so only about 10 on the track at the same time.
Outlook Good [thumbsup]
Any suggestions for the Track Day list?
BTW- you may not need glasses.
Oh, and unless you're one of the few "hippies", you probably won't need a hairbob (you know who you are [evil] )

I really want to try and make this one...
But I'm on vacation the following week, so it'll be hard to get that day off...
Maybe I could work a deal to pull 3rd shift that day or something...
We'll see. :-\

It certainly should. I don't expect a problem. Just a hassle having to deal with it. Fortunately I've been pretty lucky and haven't had much go wrong with it. Just a big empty spot in the garage. I can't sleep. [coffee]

How'd it go today fellas? [moto]
Pretty good day at the track... damn hot, & windy :(
RonR & McCain had a little incident, & unfortunately so did Dallas 1098 :P

Ron or me as I did some farm riding as well.
I looked through the online pics. Either the photographer's really crappy, or my form is REALLY bad, and I have more than a sneaky suspicion that it's me [bang]
