Default Buttonwillow day is OVER!!

What a blast I had with all you guys and gals... The 5-6 hr drive was WELL worth it!!

Buttonwillow was a track I only rode one time before with short sessions, but with the long sessions you all had it was great and gave you time to mess up and learn from your mistakes.

It was a great deal too Mike, (bang for your buck) thanks for saving a spot for me.

I met alot of people from the site which was really cool.

Ok enough with gushings, but seriously thanks for putting this on!! Later guys and gals!!

p.s Thanks to Rachel and the girls for the burger, gatordade and waters Metzeler tires Gabriel Limon for changing my stuff quick and helping me do my stuff and can we ever forget "Dashing" Dave Moss? Heck of a guy that can make your bike work well and make you a better rider... I still suck, but Dave has helped me alot!! Ok serious my podium speech is over!!

You still suck?? I am confused with that statement since every session out there you were flying by me like I was standing still.

In any case, it was a blast out there yesterday. I had fun dicing it up with some of you out there. Pantablo, thanks for the help man, I was able to fly through the off ramp much faster after your help.

Matt, it was fun, yet again, dicin it up with you out there. Good times!

Mike, thanks once again for a great day!

Oh, Mike's got a really good picture of me and the gear on the grapevine...on a flatbed tow truck. Yeah, great day ended with my car throwing the timing belt, including the tell-tale sound of crunching valves and pistons...thats gonna leave a mark.

Otherwise had a great time! Thanks Mike for allowing me to be part of the team. I hope I didnt dissapoint.
Craig, you are hopelessly slow. Give up the racing career now before you embarass yourself and the rest of us. LOL. seriously, you're one fast faecker!

Good meeting you all. Great day-couldnt have asked for a better day. What fun being a control rider too!

more later when I recover...

Ok let me claify what I meant, I do this just for fun and want to be like Nicky Hayden or some other superstar. Kinda like I think we all do maybe.

I think I heard about your car (Mike stayed with you for awhile maybe?)

Sucks I hope it is not as bad as you think or heard. (pistons and valves)

Take it easy I look forward to doing this again with you all.

I had a blast out there. I had never done the track in reverse but I gotta say that I like it much better! It was great meeting some of you guys. I also really enjoyed the opportunity to be a control rider. I wish I could have been out there more than I was, but I'm still trying to get over the flu and was in bad condition. In any case, I had an awesome time and had a lot of fun being chased by Speed, among a couple other guys.

Thanks again Mike for organizing this event and thanks everyone for making it so enjoyable!

Now thats what I call "Fun"!! What a great crew of people to enjoy my first trackday with. The input from the control riders was great.(thanx Pablo,Matt and Chris) Dave Moss is "The Man".(I shoulda listened bout the tires) But he can set-up a bike like a magician. And Mike you put on one hell of a fun day at the track.. Oh yeah and your family Rocks! What a crew... Hope to do many more of those days with yall...........

Boy O Boy!

What a blast!

I played hard, learned alot and came through on the other side with my bike in one piece. I didnt get home until 2:30am and had to take today off...

Mike and crew, thanks for putting on an awesome track day. Your family is great.

Matt...thanks for all the help getting there and helping me get my form to a better place.

Dallas...Thanks for the use of your motorhome and trailer. I hope we didnt trash it too bad bro. A little bumpy, but we made it.

Diego...I appreciate you working with me all day. You really helped out dude. If you hadn't kept bugging me about moving over for people then I wouldnt have made any progress all day because I wasnt focusing on the task at hand.

I think I learned more in one day than I could've learned in 2 months riding street. I cant wait for Pahrump!

All I have to say after my first track day is...
