Cat?  Where's a cat?  I can't be around cats!  Bad for expectant mommies...

Tiff, congrats but that's not the cat we were hoping to get.  ;D   Shake the bag again and if see if a kitty holding a partial schedule in his mouth comes running out.   ;)

Thanks

Cats are icky...come on, anything that can hack up its weight in hair is nasty.

Sorry guys, I have to be careful and not shake the bag too much!  I have a feeling you'll have what you're looking for very soon.

Quotehey ned, you going to daytona? What are your plans for next year?

at this point it looks like i won't be going to daytona, i will just be getting back to full strength, so it may be pushing it a bit, we'll see.  also to start the season w/such a huge expense isn't probably the smartest way of doing things.

i'm going to give white plates a good shot, so it's going to be a tough year money-wise but i'll have to bite the bullet.  i'm planning on running ccs ma again but also a few f-usa and wera national rounds, so i'm eager to see next year's schedule to figure out how i can fit it all in.  if i'm on pace, i'll try to qualify at one or 2 of the east coast ama rounds, but that remains to be seen.  
it's been an expensive 3 years after learning how to ride a bike in '00 both finanially and personally, sometimes it makes me wonder a bit.  losing a good chunk of my business at the beginning of this year didn't help much either, but that's life sometimes.  however i don't want to be one of those guys who had some success as a am and then just gives up when the ass kicking begins as a expert either, so i'm going full throttle into next year.  after that we'll see.

whew...you?  lol.

good plan. I am looking forward to this next year too.

I am going to concentrate on the FUSA series. Learn new things, run with the fast guys. This year I did both GTU and GTO, and I start to like the longer races more than the sprints. So I will probably do Sportbike and Superbike or ULGP and superbike.

I will also make it to summit and VIR CCS/WERA events whenever possible. I don't really want to, or plan to contest the regional series, just go and practice and have fun. I don't really look forward to racing with a small grid, or race by myself, so the qualifying + race format suit my desire much better. I am sure we will be gridded together plenty of times next year, and our rivalry will continue :) I still remember we fighting for 10th place in turn 4 at VIR or everywhere at summit, and we will race more next year.

See ya at VIR next year, we gonna bring it
