Formatr6 I am sorry I never did get your name and I had a great time speaking to you... I feel like a Jacka*s about that.

Yeah weird I hated the track early on and Gabe Limon (ya stud Gabe) showed me some better lines and I manned up a little and it worked better. And of course thanks to Randy of INhouse Suspension help me get my shock and fork working better....

Chris what can I say about you and your family? Love em all I totally enjoy hanging with you and hope we can do it again soon.

Steve you rc51 is way cool and I enjoyed riding with you too...

Mike wish we could have hung out more you and your family rock and I know you know that.

Only got to see you on the track like 2 times... (far too little)

Ratt always cool to see you... Hope I can have your company make me a Palapa soon for my pool... PM his # anyone that has that will ya?

Thanks to everyone who was so kind to me sorry for ripping out so soon... Cade (my little one) was pumped to go and bummed to leave... 8 hrs drive home so I had to bale... Made it home by 10pm...

As always a clean day for most all that rode except that burn the line guy who tweaked his left arm... Glen I think... Ouch...

Yes, kudos to everyone involved. I've been to track days with several other programs, and this was by far the best. Not to mention the food was amazing. Everyone seemed really friendly and helpful. I was a bit apprehensive going to a trackday when I didn' know anyone else. But by the end I had a few new friends and a great track experience. So thanks to everyone . . .

Mike, I live out here in Lancaster, so if you do this again and you guys need anything please don't hesitate to ask.

I'm planning on going to the Fastrackriders day at Big willow, anyone else game?

Nice to have you out with us!! Thanks for the kudos, we really appreciate it!!

Wow, what an awesome experience at Streets Of Willow!!!

Thanks to everyone that showed up on a Wednesday to help us sell out almost 2 full weeks prior to this event......YOU ROCK!!

It was awesome to see everyone enjoying themselves. We were a little rusty since we hadn't put on an event since last October, but I believe everything went off well overall.

I love the camaraderie at these events. Saw so many people laughing and having a great time.

Thanks for being on your best behavior at this event, the track people took notice & will for sure have us back!

Wish I could have gotten around in the pits & on the track to hang out with everyone.

I'm always concerned about people timing their laps at a trackday if they aren't preparing to race, but I must say everyone did so well using the new Transponder service that we'll be sure to keep it available when possible.

Hope you liked the food mostly prepared by my wife Rachel and girls (BASHA), they spent quite a lot of time making sure it tastes real gooooooooooood!!

The Red & White RC-51 you saw out front of the building is a special bike built by Frank Fisher (Abtech on the message boards). Frank used to be a regular at Willow Springs, Riverside International, and many other tracks in the nation. He was a pro racer & always took great care in preparing his race bikes. A couple years ago his doctor told him that if he fell one more time it could easily kill him so he had to give up his main passion..... motorcycles. I was heartbroken when I heard of this & was lucky to have ridden with him on his last trackday in Michigan at Grattan Raceway.

Believe it or not, he still takes the time to set up and run a 3-day event at Grattan Raceway in Michigan even though he can't ride, simply amazing!

Recently I was able to purchase this beautiful bike from another member that purchased it directly from Frank (thanks Dennis). Since Frank has done so much to help me learn about this sport, I thought it would be cool to show it at our trackdays as a tribute to him. It sure kicks a$$!!

Thanks a bunch for all you do for the rest of us Frank!

Thanks to the SBW control riders for coming out on a weekday once again!! Great job out there!! I was getting so many compliments that it was hard to get packed up before 6:00pm. You guys ROCK!!

Thanks to everyone for riding so well........... mucho track time!!

Thanks to Gabriel with Pirelli & Randy with In House Suspension for supporting us with their services so we can all enjoy our day!!

Thanks to the William Wampler Flag Team for another well run day!!

Thanks to Brian at Cali Photograpy for the great pictures!

Thanks to Willow Springs for having us out!!

Thanks to my wonderful wife & kids for all the hard work they put in well before the trackday! Love you!!

I just have one more thing to say............

DO YOU WANT MORE?!!!

Cyanide41 · 06-13-2008, 12:26 PM

Hell yeah Mike! Let's do another!! Bring Gabe and Randy back out too.

Dude, come on, do you really need to ask? That's like watching Jessica Alba strip down to her bra & panties and having her ask if she should take off the rest. DUH! OF COURSE!!!!!

You're killing meeeeeeeeeee!!!

For real man, another would be awesome.

For selfish reasons would love a weekend but know the price ramps up.

phydeaux · 06-13-2008, 05:45 PM

Thanks to Speed and his family for another superb trackday event!

Thanks to the (once again) excellent control riders. I'm sure I speak for everyone that we really appreciate your help and patience with us. You guys rock!

We need more and soon because all the positive comments above are true. I especially like the camraderie and everyone's willingness to help and can't imagine a better run trackday. I enjoyed meeting a bunch of new people and seeing others I already knew.

Let's do it again soon!!!

It took me a while to post because my roomie was upgrading my already new laptop.

Hopefully he'll be able to help me to resize and upload a few pictures soon.
