Don't laugh at my lines....They get a little better in the afternoon...

Fun track though! Woohoo!

Who could laugh? You went and we didn't bottom line. Excellent sound of the bike, and great views. I've been to that track for SCCA National Championships, and you need to walk around the outside of the track to really appreciate the elevation changes, and off-camber turns.

Thanks for sharing.

No videos for Saturday. Didn't even turn a wheel because of this 8 AM storm:



I pitted next to a local racer who said just a few drops makes the track very slick. People were crashing on the warm up lap, so we watched a few wet races instead. Hopefully today will be nicer.

We saw this coming out of the grocery store. Thought it was funny, but I wont post the image in case it offends those without a sense of humor. It IS a sign in plain sight on the main road, but....

Tim, After watching your video (nice quality) I think I've figured out why Mido gets so slippery after a bit of rain ...They made it way too smooth, theres no washboards and tar snakes to funnel the rain off the track ! O.K. we're all ready to see the video of the race...Thanks for posting!

[TimV]

Gimme a couple of days to edit the video...The VRRA racers who attended all did very well, and 4 brought home hardware from podium finishes!!

Did Jeff Peters get to ride your spare 350 after his 750 motor went quite...
Was he in the first race on Sunday?

[TimV]

Yes, Jeff rode the P1-350 that I brought along "just in case". He placed 2nd in race #1, and just barely off the podium in race #4! Not bad for having 1 practice round on it that morning.

OK that's it, I got to get me another p1350 put together. I brought my p1 to Daytona a few years back as a backup and sure enough glad I did. If I remember correctly Tim's served him well at St Croix P4 race last year as well.

Jeff, I'm sure you must have enjoyed the ride twists, hops and all the power.... ok, twist the wrist and hang on and pray and giggle, more fun for the $$ than most other bikes in the club.

[Corey]

I always enjoy the on bike footage, no matter what place you finish.

Was that rider you were chasing in firet? If so, you would have won, if it wasn't for the selayed start. Good racing.

Congratulations Tim!

[johnG#248]

if it wasn't for the delayed start. Good racing.

Ah Tim just likes givin em a head start to keep it interesting. That 350 was hauling!

[TimV]

Thanks guys!

Yeah, that guy that I caught up to(and gave the thumbs up at the end) was first in my class. James Pooler is his name. He topped the podium in 2 or 3 races this weekend, and was also the head tech guy for the weekend. It's all on mylaps.com if anyone wants to see lap times etc.. http://mylaps.com/results/showevent.jsp?id=449780
