Other wise i was behind all sorts of people for at least a lap learning their lines....Gear shifting points, throttle points and braking points...

Once I got a collective pile of notes...I did my own evaluations of the track.

I actually wish i had a timer, I'd like to see the progression of me.

That was probably the session where the 3 of us latched on to each other, what a fun session that was. i was the guy in the vest following them on the duc

Howdy all...

Thanks Mike for an absolutely awesome day. I had a good time, but came away a little disappointed in my ability to adapt to the new 600RR. Not quite the power I'm used to. Now I need to start learning how to carry speed into the corners, maintain exit speed and keep the bike high in the revs. Dave did a great job of tuning up the suspension, and I was pretty happy to find out that it was set up pretty close to optimal out of the box.

Really dig running Lost Hills in the reverse layout. Tons of fun!

Matty, Alex, Dave and others....great to be out there with you guys. The smile on Alex's face after his first few sessions was more than worth the price of admission! Can't believe the camera didn't pick up that Duc's high side!!!!

Matty...we do have a rematch coming...Parhump perhaps? I found out the Fastrack military appreciation day at Cali Speeway is on June 28th...so it looks like three trackdays in a five day period!!!!

Mike...I'm going....I promise.

Mark, I wish I could have gotten some laps with you. I'm seriously considering Fontana, but Pahrump for sure!!!

Kinda chopy, but I did with it what I could.

I think that I have absolutely no desire to see that.
