According to my laptimes from CSS, I was running ~2m on streets.  Fasttrack says l1 is 1:50+.  I'm sure that within a couple sessions I'll probably be under that and need to bump up, but I'd rather wait and see then get in over my head

[gm2]

well i'm out for this one   
guess i have to earn my $ sometimes...  even on fridays.  wtf are these people thinking.


btw, considering doing jason pridmore's school at streets june 9/10 if anyone's interested.

[sqweak]

so gm2 out, and i heard rumor joe (and thus steve) might be as well?  we're like 15 hours from needing to leave, can people post up and confirm/deny attendance and what they need to make it?

[derby]

steve and joe are in...

[sqweak]

great! wt:

are we caravaning or otherwise coordinating, or just ad-hoc meeting at the track?

[SteveG]

Not sure about the caravaning... if we are we must go get CBs. It's necessary.
Or, maybe not. I did pick up a pin for my front stand, and a pair of tire warmers today though... Woot!

Forcast is for 78 with a light breeze, 61 in the morning.

Garrett, sorry you can't go

[gm2]

...yeah, me too.  sux.

have fun y'all.

Hi Gang,

I am experiencing technical difficulties.  I can't get the bike to start.

I though the battery might be bad, so I hook it to the car and the bike started right up.  I ran out and bought a replacement battery.  Now, the bike won't start either on the new battery or the car battery...

Very frustrating.

Lester

[sqweak]

eek, sorry to hear it Lester!   I know _all_ about that from last week. Are you still gonna come up and try and get her goin?

in other news, no gm2 means no ez-up.  If Lester is out too, that means we have no shade.

Best Track Day Ever.

 be::

[SteveG]

Yep, sorry Garrett and Lester, but I've got to say it was a pretty epic day. Love the format (groups go out once an hour; group a top of the hour, b 20 afer, and c 40 after). The riders meeting was amazingly civilized and quick (started at 8:30, first group was on track at 9)... sweet! The weather was great, company was great, the other riders were courteous, they were very efficient about clearing crashes, it's a fun track... yeah, great day.

Joe, really can't thank you enough for the ride and loading/unloading help... it's greatly appreciated! Derby, Sqweak, great to see you guys. Amazing how much everyone picked up the pace in the afternoon with a little track knowledge. Good stuff!

[Gus Duc]

Sounds awesome be::

How does the track compare to Big Willow & Streets

Any pics

[Ciao Fun]

Oh shut up...  

I brought the bike in.  Andy at West Coast GP Cycles believes it is the starter pickup.  The starter turns, I have spark, and fuel is flowing.  Hope to have it together asap, but I don't need it urgently.  Since I'm out on business next weekend, I'll be missing this round of WSMC racing anyway.

See you at the next one!!!
