This goes out to the guy that hooked me up. I am sorry, but I misplaced your email so I don't remember your name.


The discount prices that they offer us are great. I already ordered some goodies and plan on ordering lots more. I got my order with in three days, that's fast. Thanks again.  ;D

You know, I have been invited to go up and ride that track with some guys from InSaneSpeed for free. It's just a really long trip for me. This year I plan on doing the whole Florida CCS schedule so I won't have time and or the money for extra track days.  But next year will be a different story. I will make a trip up for sure.  All in due time. :D

I will however try to work in one track-day at NFMP. That track is such a blast that I have to go back and ride it just for the fun of it.

Hell, I plan on visiting all the good road courses in the US before long.

Humm, I now recall my wife saying something about a trip up to New Orleans this year. Texas would then be just down the road, won't it? :) Stay tuned.

We'll just have to hook up at NPR. You'd dig that place, The Duc would work awesome there. 8)

Yeah, I'm still an amateur. I missed getting my white plate by 45 points.  My bike broke down on the last race of the year so I missed one entry, which would have given me white plates.  But that's ok, I'm not sure I am ready. Oh well.

Those are pics of me on my street 748S at NFMP. I managed 1:30's that day.  I feel I could best those times on my 750SS.  While the 748 had more power, 750SS is much lighter. I guess I'll find out soon enough.

Most of my racing will be in the Lightweight Superbike and Supersport class.  Maybe a few Supertwins and GTLs too.  Depends on how much cash I have at the time. ;)

I found out today that I can't do Homestead this weekend. :(   The wrong part came in for my motor. So I am planning doing NFMP on the 23/24 of this month. I need to get the rust out before Daytona.  Why don't you come on down.

Yo Shown, are you up to it? :)

Ricky, Racing TWS this weekend, and then get ready for Oak hill. You might as well come to Texas and get the rust off. Plenty of competition in Texas. 8)
