Really f-ing hot. Don't know how anyone is doing, just was checking with Rhiannon to see how the bike was running. I know that Hayes was running second is some race, but not sure which one. Yeah, I know, I'm tons of help.  :rollseyes: :biggrin:

Sounds like a typical summer day at Willow Springs. Only exception is I'm sure Barber is a lot more humid. Good luck to all of you.

What a fun time!!!! Hot but fun!!!

PJ jacobson put on a good show in the sunday 125 usgpru, he came in 1st. Nobi came in 2nd and some young american-asian kid named benny finished 3rd. Not sure who finished 4th. Melissa, Josh Hayes gf came in an impressive 5th.

In one of the sunday ASRA races, I think race 4? Jeff Wood highsided. But in the following races he beat Jensen.

Wish I could report better....

We had a great time although it was very very hot.  My thermometer in the pits showed 120 degress in the direct sun.  150 degrees on the track surface.  UGH.

We would like to vend at more CCS races in the future.  If there are any needs for VP fuel at other CCS events, we need to know where/when.

Thanks to all of the racers for making out trip a good one.
