All I hear is blah blah blah here's another excuse. Just kidding man, that sucks. I thought you took a different schedule and didn't have to deal with that crap anymore?

Yeah, the sun and heat sucked. Didn't help that my back started hurting and I needed to pee like halfway through one working session.

Still good to see everyone again though!

It was nice to finally meet you Stu.

Sucks I had to leave before everyone's final runs. My times consistently got faster throughout the day until I screwed up good on the very last run. #9 was my fastest time of the day. I hope everyone can make the august 18 event at tms.

I can deal with hot and greasy tires, but that fuel starvation problem pretty much ruined all my runs. At least I got an unstarved warm up lap in. Next time, I'll be sure to look at the map before getting to the course and plan my gas tank accordingly. My Z needs at least 1/3 tank, minimum, for anything that requires me to hit 4th -- that fat bish.

Pat had to drive Chris' Z...they co-drove the car...so they both had fuel problems.

Here is my video from the best lap time of the day....I placed 3rd.

I don't think we've ever officially met. I know I saw him at the Grapevine Mills meet, where we went to that restaurant and he met us all there on his bike. I know that's when we met, Q.

I always remember him from that as the guy on the black CBR with orange wheels.
