It was my first time at Road America. I think it was awsome!! Except for friday when my tires felt like they had oil on them, and saturday when I raced in the rain with no rain tires and Sunday when it only got to 39 degrees and the track was half dry, half wet. But it was awsome!! I cant wait till August.

It went like any other mid-west race this season.  Green track, freezing friggin cold, rain.

It was cold enough that about 50% of the people were running rain tires on the dry track on Sun.  Absolutely miserable.  (wouldn't have missed it though  ;D)

Friday wasn't so bad imho.

Saturday morning was OK, got terrible when the rains came.

Sunday featured some dry, some damp corners in the afternoon races.

But still a great weekend!

Gixxer124 - How's the back?  BTW, we are all coming up to Mid-America for the Friday track day and sat-Sun races.  Other than that, we are debating the next race but will probably skip BH in May.  

Congrats on your top 5!

Hey Steve. My back is "back" to normal. It only hurts when I move. :)  I will be at Blackhawk and Mid America. Bring the Mille R, I'll test ride it for you. Oh, I almost forgot, your supposed to go back to the Sieboken Inn and sign the bill. Sorry! (Maybe it'll be free)
