It is...

how much rain do you typically get where you live?

Do you just have a spring rainy season, or are there a non winter winter rains?

Spring rains which are normally drenching type for 3 - 4 days at a time and then afternoon thunderstorms in summer.
Nothing during the winter only in the southern parts of the country when they have their rainy season
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

Yes a couple of times, the surface at some corners are realy bumpy in the breaking zone due to Modified V8 racing, otherwise it`s a great track and next year WSBK will be back. [thumbsup]

The last time they were here Bayliss was champion on a 998.

Best laptime on my R1 is 2 min 15 sec, our national boys average 1 min 50 sec I think.
( Yes I am that slow ) ;D

The track is only 20 mins from my house by Bike [thumbsup]

As I recall it's a high speed flowing track...yes/no?

NHIS is bumpy at the transitions on and off the oval

The last time the fast guys were at NHIS I believe they were sub 1:10...

The fast club guys are going 1:12.

I'm around mid 20s..although I'm not really sure...I'm slow too.

They don't allow timing at our track days...

Batten the hatches, tie everything down ,and all that.  We are having a wind storm.  25 MPH right now.  The traffic lights on 4th were spun around the other day from weaker wind.  3 tress were down near the library too. I have to drive downtown this morning.  Better hope the bolts on the Space Needle are tight!
