I wish I could go to the WSBK this year in UT, but I don't think my schedule will be feasible this year.

As for the MRA, I'd definitely be interested in at least seeing the one at PPIR May 21-22.  I know one of the guys who's racing that Saturday.  We can make an outing out of it!

Should be fun.

OK SoCO Dogs, next weekend the MRA series makes it's way to PPIR, lets see if we can get a group of Duc's together to head out and support the local racing scene.

Well I did go out to Utah for the WSBK races.
I pulled some volunteer duties at Miller Motorsports.
It was a good time even though it rained.....a lot.
I camped at the track, they provided all meals and even gave tickets to my wife who did not volunteer.
Definitely will do this again next year, met some great people.



Carlos Checka, won both races, qualified on the pole...in the rain, posted fasted lap time of the weekend.



This is the 848 EVO that the corner crew and I pulled out of the mud after it crashed, this was Sunday during a rainy practice.

Awesome!  Thanks for the pics, Mike.

Btw, I just found out that I work in the same office as one of your next door neighbors.  The young Captain is actually my customer, which translates to "government boss."  Rick had seen the photos of our Bishop's Castle ride and recognized you.

Small world!

The 2nd and last MRA race at PPIR is coming up soon,  (Sept 17, 18) no excuses this time,  time to make plans to head out and support some local racers. 

It is only $10/person for the whole weekend, and you can get 1/2 off coupons at local shops, I got a couple at Rocky Mountain Cycle off Platte & Chelton.

I was thinking a tailgate....BBQ, beverages, etc..... Think I can talk my wife into driving my truck with the grill, an ez-up canopy lawn chairs etc......

Mike, if we're in town that weekend, we will go.  Would love to tailgate with you, so we'll let you know as soon as we find out!!

[KRJ]

  Sounds like a fun deal, but I have to work Sat, Sun, Mon.    Damn job ruined My whole summer..except for Ouray 

[aerofaze]

75% sure we'll stop by on either Sat or Sun, but probably not with any tailgating accessories (ie, food, etc).

If anyone's there, let me know and we'll try to find you.

[mikethebike427]

Thanks for hosting me and Jason at PPIR on Sunday.  Great food (yum) and great company !!  It was fun catching up and supporting the local racers on "our end of town" this time.
