great pics jim, thanks all once again.

[JimRBlue]

I also wanted to thank bob, brian, and everyone else who helped me out. Since it was my first time at South the help really got me on the right line for the south course.

Bob- Thanks for buzzing me on the straight just about everytime. Have to admit it was pretty funny looking to my right and seeing you wave to me while tooling along the straight. Not something I had ever expected to see.

Gino- Now that you know my leather colors and helmet I won't wave at you any more..

Jeff- Way to give that limiter a workout everytime at the exact spot. I had the timing down pretty good at the pits...

Jake - You crazy Mofo for being the only rider on the track during that last session. Complete with lightning and thunder.. Friggin crazy!

Levi- Way to crash your way into red group.. ( You don't think I was not going to bust on you did you?/)

Tommy and Karen. - Good to finally meet you guys!

Ian and John - Glad your guys were able to get into the event and off the wait list. You guys were looking pretty good out there.

Old Man Mario- Guess the tire warmers were a waste since you will probably only get one track day per set of tires... Also Jake and Mario.. thanks for the lift there and back.

JimboJimmy- That 3rd session after lunch was by far the best. It was a blast. I'll have to get a better drive out of oak tree turn if I ever want to stay ahead of you on the straight.

Rob- Mike and everyone else. Great seeing you out there!

Well now I know what TPM days I'll be doing every single year.

new favorite track

on that note, just like to thank Bob big time, for giving me serious advice on what to do on track, showing me the way around at every track event he was at. Even if I ask dumb stuff, he is patient enough to answer my questions. Thanks to joe looking out for me at other track events. Brian thanks for looking out for me. I think i will seriously continue to bother these guys at every event i am .

John and Tom thanks for everything, i tell you this all the time, but doesnt hurt once more lol.

Great day with all.

Thanks again Ralph and Bob for the help.. yet again

Good traveling down with Tommy and Karen and nice dicing it up with Tommy on the track again. You seriously picked it up. Hope you didn't mind me blowing by you on the straight with my middle finger out at you

Levi, congrats on the bump! But like Brian said, put the fork down, who the hell orders dessert

Jeff, you weren't getting away from me to easily on the 2nd day but it was fun.

Ian, don't worry about blowing T1 by me, although I figured you wanted to do VIR Full at that time, I was like oh shit, will you look at this crazy mofo but it was a good time talking to you. and for the record Ian DOES NOT have that ghetto yo yo mother fucker ho ho attitude, hes actually a soft spoken person.

Nice talking with Jim again, the jokes never seem to stop with any of us and just so you know, you dont hold the record for longest in white group

ginoe, well, hes in his own land, ginoe land, the only person I know who has a 8 PLUS hour drive and still insists to stay home go shopping or canoeing and leave late LOL

This weekend I learned a lot, more so then any other weekend, I paid attention to everything being asked and said about what to do at certain spots on the track, not to mention doing a physicle walk also helped out a lot to!


JOE, DON'T TOUCH MY PICTURES AGAIN OR IM'A KICK YER ASS

John - I may have been teasing you about being slow on Saturday but on Sunday you really picked it up.

Levi - Grats on the bump, you were looking real good out there in red.

Jim - Great seeing you at the track. Would be better if I saw you on the track too!

Ian - Fast mofo, but I was able to hang in there, but I was spent after that session.

Tommy - I know how frustrating it can be when you arent riding as well as you know you can. By the end of the day Sunday you stepped it up. Big improvement.

Ralph - I have my suspicions that you might be a robot.

Overall it was a great weekend. Weather was a bit hot, but I'll take that over rain any day..

I'll Be READy one of these days. At least I found the throttle and the brakes. Now I just need to work on some body position and find a way to get longer arms.

I'd like to say congrats on a lovely weekend. None of us crashed!!!!

Ralph/Brian - Thank you very much for the tips and insights. Once I slowed down I was able to keep consistent lines.

Levi - It was great seeing you in red and fun chasing you down. You look great out there, you'll be lead pack soon enough.

Jeff - I didn't see you all weekend on the track but when I saw you out brake me in the fishbowl I was like sweet let's play. Can't wait to see you on the track again.

John - It's always a pleasure to ride on the track with you. If I'm behind you I always know I can trust you because your lines are always consistent. I apologize for blowing past you so close in turn 1. I totally missed my brake marker and I was running out of room and had no where to go but straight lol. I learned my lesson after that. See you on the next track day.

[GinoE]

i had fun, slow fun, but fun - thanks all for the advice. i can't wait for the day when it finally clicks.

Great pictures guys! Sorry I missed it...work has kept me from getting out to the track this year.

Thanks John for taking some pictures of Jim out there so I could unofficially see him on the track.

CBRBob...nice drawers...
