I will be there and this will be a special trip for me. This is my favorite track and will be my first day back on a track since my spine surgery a few months ago. As Cakes said, it is a great track. Gonna be a great time.

Spine surgery? Aw man, that sucks. Was wondering what you were doing and why you were standing by the fence and not riding at Pocono North May 14th. Glad to hear you can still ride though.
Also heard Brian dumped himself on his head pretty hard at Beaverun last summer.

I did not see you there at Pocono. Yeah Brian went down pretty hard but all good and back out there.

No sense in me complaining about sitting out a month with 2 busted toes. Glad to hear your better enough to ride again after your spine surgery. Have fun everyone.

Holy fast track! Had a blast.

Nice to see you Joe & Jen, and everyone else I met (very bad memory, sorry).
Hope Jude (sp) was OK.

Had a hard time learning the track at first. It took until the last session on Saturday to start moving. Sunday morning it took a session to get back into it & was cruising the second session, which was probably my fastest session of the two days. I was pretty much done after that, only able to do one or two laps per session without problems

My ride started to pack at 3 & left at 4, so I didn't have a chance to see you all again. Sorry Joe, I would of worked with you but I borrowed a timer from Ralph & I wanted to see what I could run. Unfortunately I couldn't regain my rhythm and only turned out a 1:41, my last session turned out to be one of the worst all day on Sunday

.

All in all, a fun weekend.

Summit Jefferson/Main next.

I had a blast at Mosport! Only rode Saturday, but that was enough to remind me that my skill level is not quite there yet for this track. Glad I did it and maybe I'll be ready to try it again in '07

Was good to see everyone there! Dinner at The Keg was great! Thanks to Mike for leading us out there

Roberts, good to see ya on the track and not in the grid :biggthump: Jude and Jimmy, kicking ass as usual. A pleasure to see Donna again

Big thanks to all the coaches I worked with. TPM really knows how to put together a fun and safe weekend at this track.

Ahhh...hello everyone...was a long ride back from Mosport but well worth the trip. I am really starting to love this track. Get to the paddock Fri. night round 5:30ish, go to the area where we were last year...first thing is check the power pannel....fuggers took all the power...I'm lookin for an outlet that works and people are tellin me "Theres no more power eh." Whatever...I'll give you fuggin "eh"...you mean to tell me no one had a bar or a block we could tap into...whatever

I had the generator with me anyway so I use that. Fuggin Shawna has this camper thats the size of a football feild taken up 1/2 the paddock n shit...it's like the 747 of campers...whatever. Start to unload and the rain rolls in...not a heave rain but enough to piss ya off "eh". Cleared up by morning.
First day, first session was a little sketchy...had to find the line and get into a grove...second session was much better...after that as Jen said..."I was on a mission"

Saturday was a good day...found a line that really worked well for me...got passed on the inside of the horseshoe by a coach who shall remain nameless

Best time on Sat. I ran a 1:51...Sunday was an awesome day...felt good right off the bat...first session I was moving along nice...2nd and 3rd sessions we're the best sessions for me...I ran a 1:47 in the thirds session...dropped 4 seconds from Saturday(My best time last year at this track was a 1:58...dropped 11 seconds

so I was stoked.) I have to say it was Jude that really helped me with my times...he would pass me and I would use him as a guide to try and stick with him...although once we hit the strait I would stick by him for about 150-200 feet but after that he would pull away...but by T-10 I was right there again

Around the last session of the day it's me an Jude again, we come up on a couple of guys, one guy on an rs250...and another I forgot what bike...he passes the rs...me still behind him...start making my pass thru the horseshoe when all of a asudden I look thru and see Jude sliding with his bike spining in front on me...almost target fixated but yelled to myself "Don't look...Keep goin...Keep going!" and I made it thru...red flag came out and I kept looking back to make sure no one hit him cause he was still in the middle of the track...but everything turned out ok...and Jude was back in the paddock under his own power...
All in all was a great weekend...was great hangin with everyone... Jimmy, Donna, Ray, Jude, Mike(Roberts), Mike(Turbo50Mike), Rubin, John, Mike(wcrbikemike)...the TPM crew...can't wait to go again next year...

ps...the fireworks display by the Stimler(sp?) brothers was awesome!
