Won GTU TC, Second overall.

Jeff Wood exceed my expectations when I figured the lap record would be about a 1:46, he did a 1:45. 

Andy F is going well.  Scotty Ryan fell over with a seven second lead in GTU, I think.  Bike is back together with an old plastic number plate.

Any Ol' Yeller only makes 92 HP...she's tired.

I should have gone for the team challenge.

I had an offer to ride a Buell RR and passed it up. Yeah, I'm stupid.

Buell RR- $25k? Fire Extinguisher $50....... I felt bad for Estok when he jumped off yelling "it's on fire!" and his crew watched in anticipation for the bon fire. The extinguisher came from two pits down. They had plenty of fuel for the RR but NO fricken extinguisher. Guess the CCS Off's were hot and tired also.

Think that would fall under the realm of rider/crew responsibility.   This isn't exactly Estok's first rodeo.   Officials check to make sure a fire extinguisher is at the bike and manned (womaned?) whenever refueling is done on hot pit.   There were also a number of track provided fire extinguishers along hot pit throughout the weekend.
