    Anyone know if the photographer on turn 1 has posted pictures anywhere. It was later in the afternoon....I saw the flash go off for about 5 laps. Want to see how those turned out...

    It was one of the racer's girlfriends taking pics in turn 1. I will let you know in this thread if she makes them available.

    Joe,
    Do you know where you finished in the mock race? It looked like about 5th. You were definitely holding your own out there.

    I got some pictures of my little blowup on the straight. It was just water hitting the headers and turning to steam when the coolant hose popped loose. It's all fixed now, so hopefully the gremlins are out.

    -Matt

    Re: 2013 MRA Race School

    I can safely say, when those pictures were being taken, I was looking at your bike going "oh shit"

    I think somewhere around 5th. after all the sorting and passing on lap one, I clung on to two other guys and we had a good pace the whole time. No real safe passes were available so we just stayed in the same order with each other and worked through lappers

    It was a fun race for sure. The three of us never caught up to Brad. You're definitely getting faster dude

    btw, we should try to catch another track day in a few weeks.

    Just do 2 super street events and it's almost exactly the same. You will also be allowed to have a license after you complete 2 of them

    That's the only formal MRA school. However you can sign up for Superstreet, they are doing similar exercises on a race by race basis.

    Interesting. I wonder if we can find someone that's owned one of these suits to see if they're any good
