    Shit dude...didn't see you. I was basically in the middle of the paddock with a small white 2WD nissan. I was riding a blue and black gsxr 600...got rid of the RC a few years ago.

    I rode with the "slow" group because I needed to learn the track and it worked...by the end of the day I was ready to move up to the faster group. See you next time!

    i was there too...trailered in with Jeff (last name?) #927 with the 450 powered RS125

    I was in the slow group in the AM, because it was my first time out, and I am...well, slow...I won't disclose lap times...but lets just say there is plenty of room for improvement...definately had a blast though

    We were up in the north end on the back row by the MRA truck. Too bad we didn't run into each other (not literally), I did the afternoon session in the slow group until the last session when I switched to fast. The street riders got a little scary. Switching to fast put me on the track pretty much by myself at the end.

    Cool, I love how sharp the Buell turns. You must be the guy that passed me while I was stuck behind the Aprilia and made a sharp turn, looked easy for you

    Kitten, yes I'll be out on the 13th. I'm also thinking about the 11th. I can see myself going broke now

    That was a really good time! Hope everyone was O.K.. The morning sure had a lot of people getting picked up on the trailer, but the Ambulance never moved, which is good! I felt bad for the white and blue yamaha fz400? that lowsided right in front of me on turn 12. I was thinking what a good looking bike it was , then "whoosh" he was gone. Never been that close to one before. Will see you all again soon out there!

    So whats the difference at HPR between yesterday and sunday as far as price goes? I saw that yesterday was only $150 for the day but sunday is going to be $200. Does anyone know?
