Hi! I've finally recuperated from 2x track days at Thunderbolt (NJMP) and a full wkend of hosting family in DC...with many empty bottles of Fat Tire! My buddy Mike and I did 2x track days (Wed & Thurs) at Thunderbolt....it's my favorite track and I always have a great time! One of the AMA rookie supersport racers "Kaleb De Keyrel" parked next to us and gave us pointers/coached us, trackside, all day Thursday...he even kept our laptimes and helped us shave off 2 seconds a lap...did I forget to mention he was 16 y/o?!
Luckily, we got to share the garages/paddock area with the AMA crews and racers (while we were tearing down and they were setting up). We got to walk around the various AMA garages and made small talk with everyone around...to include Scott Russell, Elena Myers and Josh Haye's crew. While we didn't stay for the race wkend, it was a nice way to finish a great time away from the office. Well it's bed time for me...hope you enjoy some of the photos.
Evidently, I'm still incapable of getting off the center of the bike. I'll work on it this Sunday!
My "FRONT" tire (Q3) after 2x sessions...I still have a lot of lean angle left! A few of the fast A group riders have successfully used them when GPA's weren't available.

Nice enclosed trailer!!!
Everything looks nice in KTM Orange!
