I signed up for A. Advance It should be good day like you said for the weather.I was suppose to do Mid-Ohio today and tomorrow but because of the weather I'm heading out tonight for Tuesday only. Pat, Kenny, Jon, Charlie, and I will be in A. I'm really looking forward to this! It's been too long since I've been on the track! We usually pit across from registration - Black CBR 600 (#25), Black GSXR 600 (#992?), Red Buell 1125 (#11? - You'll be able to hear it from anywhere). Stop over and say "Hi".

Sounds good, maybe I can catch a tow from you guys. I think what I want to work on this weekend is getting through 6/7 faster and braking later for 10.

I don't know what kind of lap times you're running but between our group of 5 or 6 we should have you covered. Pat, Charlie and I are running in the mid-low 1:05's (hopefully high 1:04's on Sat). If that's not quick enough for you, you'll need to hook up with Kenny or Jon... I need to get better on the brakes into #10 and #1. Last time at the Beav I believe I picked up some speed in #2 and #3, but was maybe braking a bit more than needed going into #4. I've probably got some opportunity to make up some time in #9 as well...

I've probably got some opportunity to make up some time in #9 as well... That will be plenty fast, I've only been there twice, once last year once this year so I've got a lot to learn getting around the Beave. 1:07 was my fastest lap in May. I would love to knock 2 seconds off that. There's going to be a lot of traffic. I and A groups are sold out.

Yeah, I guess there will be a lot of bikes out there. It may turn more into passing practice rather than trying to run fast laps. The Fastrax days at BeaveRun always sell out...

Good times...hot day but not a cloud in the sky. Had a bit of collateral damage when I got forced off the inside of the track in 12, an argument could be made that I shouldn't have been there so it is what it is, I don't think he even knew what happened. But I hit the curbing hard enough to bend the lip of my rear rim in two places; its still holding air though so that's good. And I ground my peg down a bit more than I would have liked throughout the day so I gotta find that guy that makes plates to move the stock rearsets (cause I'm too cheap for woodcraft). My goal was 1:05's. Second session of the day I got a 1:06.03 in and figured I'd have no problem getting at least one 1:05. I think as the day went on the track got more crowded because my lap times got progressively worse. Maybe it was getting too hot I don't know, I felt like I was pushing harder in the afternoon but the lap timer did not agree. Other than the riders wandering all over the track and some ridiculous speed differences (evidence in forthcoming video) the MotoSeries crew was relatively well behaved. It was good meeting Matt and Pat in person and seeing Andy out there again. I think being a "Trackwhore" instantly turns a person into an all around swell guy is there a "man-hug" smilie? Andy you'll definitely have to start out with us in A next time, Megan said you were right behind me in that last session. I put the GoPro on the triple and took some great footage of the sky when it vibrated out of position mid warm-up lap. But I got some decent footage from on the side facing backwards I'll post a link once its uploaded.

Thanks Mike, I wish the next 5 or so seconds would be as easy to drop but we all know how that goes. And its all bike, I'm just trying to hang on  SBImage has some samples of us up already, he works fast!
