yes.   I am slow.   G is glacial.   (said with love as she's looking)
(she is almost slowest of beginner group here...couple new riders slower... and I am on the quicker end of it)

This ain't no VIR though (yea I was the guy that met you at one of the MAD/Cornerspeed days).  No super straight.  I actually kind of like NHMS better.  Just got to pay attention the first couple of laps to make sure you stay on the pavement you are supposed to be on.

After 6 plus trackdays NHMS I still get a little nervous in the bowl.

The bowl is one of my favorite parts!  Now I made a mess of turn 1 almost every time.  I think I took 30 different lines in #1 and didn't like any of them.  Damn you guys are going to have fun.  Wish I could be there.

Who laughed at you? You seemed pretty jolly all on your own to me. :-\

...and we all laughed with you as you were shooting NAKID with the roman candle.  WTF? [laugh]

But you don't get Bruce.   ;)

I know.  I get other people who go fast ;)

Quote from: Dan on January 04, 2010, 01:03:40 PM
C'mon ML, it might be your only opportunity to spank a bunch of old guys.    ;D

Im pretty open minded but old guy ass and spank just don't go so well together ;D

Quote from: ducpainter on January 04, 2010, 01:06:43 PM
Another gauntlet.... ;D

Always one more of those to go around. . .

Im smart enough to recognize Im a pretty fast B group rider and a competent A group rider (as in, sometimes get passed, but don't do much passing)

I know where my limit is, and constantly push and poke at it.

One thing I know for sure though...

There's always someone faster.  Like ridiculously faster.

Most often if it sounds like a chainsaw going through withdrawal. . .

you will be passed, and will never see the rider again until you're back in the pits [laugh]
