You know how long it takes to upload photos on Photobucket...?
Nice weekend... weather cooperated for the most part, except for the wind, which hardly let up.
Ducati Island was a lot of fun... my first time walking amongst a sea of them, interesting for sure. Still, never saw a 906 Paso...
Ducati Owner's Lounge: Free espresso! What's not to like? ...although a little free Peroni would have been nice.
Racing was good... it's amazing watching these guys work the corners and such. At Turn 12, we were catching them coming WFO down the back straight... then throwing on the binders and into the turn.
Wish the Ducati riders had done better... they never really posed a challenge and the real race was for 1-2, and 3-4-5. It looked like Lorenzo was just tooling along on a Sunday drive, fading to I think 9th by the finish. Dovi looked like he was trying, but once Honda pulled out front, he never got a glimpse.
Ducati rider's lap was fun... except for that pesky 60mph limit. We got to spin the track twice!
Overall... the only thing I'm disappointed with was the bleacher seats included with the Duc package; not that the area wasn't a good spot, it's just those unforgiving benches. CotA needs to pull their head out, too... I never saw one 'hydration station' set up the entire weekend, so you were stuck buying $4 water or refilling at the one water fountain at the Turn 15 bathroom.
