More pics.....  popcorn
The Alvinite! Looking GOOD!   waytogo


Vinucci taking heat from a local racer about blowing his lines!  Lips Sealed


Vinucci giving heat about said racer blowing his line, then crashing!  Lips Sealed Tongue


Vinucci insisted I take this pic. He said it reminded him of his view all day at the track. A freagin yellow 749s he couldn't catch!  cheeky


The local racer was actually a cool customer, freaking fast. Lost his rear and high sided on a very, very fast turn. I was extremely surprised he walked away uninjured. Gave Vinucci and I some great tips out there before the crash.

Can't wait until I can get back out there.  chug

Great day yesterday and gosh it was really hot out there.  Someday, I'll be as good as Vince, Frank, and Joe  Grin 

Hey, next time we should get more organize and invite more people.  Some attendees had a huge caravan and even brought in a BBQ smoker  Grin

I'm starting to realize that this track hobby is more expensive than a drug habit.

Sorry mang  Undecided  I signed up very last minute at midnight to tag along. Yeah, we need to get more organized next time because it is really more convenient to go with people you know, not just to help each other out but for comradely as well.   It would be helpful to also know who are interested in going to the track.  I know Frank, Vinucci, and Joe are track day regulars. Maybe we should put a sticky everyone's phone contacts on the board.   

I also need to save up for other necessities like a ramp, a chocke, etc Sad  First, I need to get the bike fix. It's leaking oil !

C'mon with it Paull. Ya know we've talked about it before, make it happen homie. I'm hoping to make the July 4th TWS track day with TTD. Can't speak for the rest of the fellas here, but that's my next possible track day.

Still want to make it out to H2R this year.
