I got completely confused why I couldn't catch you that morning when I passed you the afternoon before.  Dan explained it to me in the tower...  I rode that SS race Sunday morning like an old women (George told me to stop looking at the wild flowers in the sides of the front straight and get rid of the heels and skirt!!).  I rode more agressively for the SB race later on...  It's definately balancing desire with risk.  My SV was down at least 7-10 Hp - too rich.

Yeah....Dan is definitely faster than I am ( CAN YOU SAY "OBVIOUS"?).

Not too make too many excuses for LW SS on Sat, but i banged my ribs pretty good when I braincramped on the hot lap in the SB race on Saturday  :banghead:

I was pretty sore in the supersport race, just wanted to get back out there ....

Hopefully will see everyone at BHF in 2 weeks!

Ah that's why you were easy pickings - didn't think my skill level rose appreciably over the winter.  I remember you going agricultural at Gingerman (between T2-T3) and still beating me last Sept.  Didn't realize you had gone down in the SB race.

I should be in better shape for BHF - know the race track, will have my hps back and will be a little sharper.

Paul,

Yeah...ran outta road going into the chicane and as opposed to taking several guys out, I figured I would hop off into the "dirt" and hop back on the pavement on the other side......one small problem ---NOT DIRT...MUD!!!   :banghead:

Hit the pavement with mud covered tires and that was all she wrote!

See you at BHF!
Mark

Mud took me down at Autobahn S. last year just after a rain but without leaving the track to go get it.  Got too close to the muddy apex of T9 and was down b4 I could do anything.
