Oh yeah missed out on saturday we had a bike catch on fire it was pretty cool. After that they made sure that everyone knew where all the fire extinguishers where on the track. I'll post up my pics too when I get them I got some that we took though already, they're not that good but whatever.

We were there on Saturday....took my buddy Rick to his first track day...by the end of the day, we were power sliding out of the turns, just hauling ass, and laughing our asses off...he said it was the best time he's had in a long...he deploys May 1st and as soon as he gets back, sign up for CSS level I and another track day....I really cooked my 2CT's....

yup....APRIIL 18, 1946....

I like Buttonwillow...doing wheelies out of the turn that goes right and down....and sliding the rear tire around....

There weren't many riders out Saturday.....later in the afternoon, it seemed the A group was riding in every group....but being there were less folks out there, we had more fun....

However running in the Race group at Pahrump (Todds Traxperience)...man I passed nobody!!!!...got stuffed a few times....but was able to hold a line fine...

Did have Charles/Dave re-do my suspension (motorcyclechassis dynamics) and that transformed my bike...now have full suspension travel....was hydraulic lock at Pahrump in November....
