Tigre goes to AMA: Volunteer info and race progress here!

[Fast Elvis]

It only takes one fast lap on Friday afternoon to qualify. Save your equipment and your cat. It's important.

Bike was saved... new brake master cylinder should be getting dropped off at the Infineon main office as I'm typing this. Got everything patched up and ready to rock.  It doesn't look like he broke any bones, but there was a little swelling... ice and compression overnight should have taken care of that.

Just making some  , hopping in the shower, then back to the track. If we have signal, then one of us will try to update throughout the day.

Ended the day good. Got the exhaust header welded, changing out the front rotors tomorrow due to possible warpage. And have some ideas how to solve the overheating when getting off track issue. We continually encouraged him to not push too hard in practice, Lap times dont matter during parctice. All we need is one fast lap during QP.

Practice at 1, qualifying at 4. Everyone think go fast thoughts at four.

ride fast take chances.

The tiger mascot store awaits my arrival eagerly, depending on qualifying results.  I told them the story and even they're excited for Tigre.  They're a little less excited about renting the suit to me given the temperatures that we're going to be having on Saturday.  Stay upwind of me, folks.   

P.S.  I have two tickets for Sunday if someone wants them.  FREE.  First come, first served. 

Even if he doesn't make it, it's been a hell of a ride so far!  [moto] ...positive thoughts headed your way!!!!!!

See first post for updates, peeps.  I think Tigre's crew is all set for Friday.

True dat, 'Belle.  It's been an amazing experience.  I'll recap when it's all over and I get a chance to catch my breath.

In the meantime, time to get some zzzz's.

This is so exciting! I wish I didn't have to work morning noon and night.... I'll be keeping track of what's up here, though, so keep the updates coming!

BTW, a trick for maintaining your cool in a hot suit that I've used on overheated actors wearing the equivalent of a sofa for a costume: put a cold pack in the small of your back. One of those little refreezeable gel packs works really well. In the same way that a heated vest keeps you warm on a cold day by heating your core, a cold pack there will keep you cool by cooling your core. 

Best of luck! Ride fast!

DQ is currently en route to Sears Point, bringing caffeinated joy for everyone at Camp Tigre. Wish I didn't have to slave away in the city today, but then again it won't be nearly as HOT as the track!

Enzo and Lunderburg are going to be hitting the road soon to help out Team Tigre.

Good luck tigre, best wishes..!!
