As cold as it was, I found the grip to be awsome. (Dunlops with secret tire pressure settings ;D) Got wood 3 out of 5 and had a blast. F40 had almost 40 bikes in it! 30 of them were parked in turn 5 on the firts lap of race 2. :o  

K3, your a pansy! :P ;D

QuoteThanks to Rob and the Lithium crew for allowing us to warm up. They should have had blow up palm trees in their pits, it was positively balmy in there! :D

I am now officially a spoiled, pampered princess.  I swear, I do not remember where I came from!

Ya'll are lucky!!!

I chose to attend the WERA opener at Beaverun this as opposed to RA.  Saturday was Rain and 38.  About 9:00pm it started snowing and it didn't stop until after everyone had packed up and left for home AFTER the race on sunday.  You guessed it, about 1/2 white blanket on the ground and still snowing and 20mph winds.  

It was simply amazing to see how well rain tires stuck in that weather.  I can tell you this much, RA would have been a better choice, but this WERA weekend was something to be seen!!!  See Ya'll at Autobahn!!!
I didn't come here to make friends... I brought my own

Sounds like I might have been at the bottom of the F40 pile if I'd gone.  That wouldn't have been good....
Hey!  I thought the old guys were supposed to be more careful?
The frame was snapped, the #3 rod was dangling from a hole in the cases, and what was left had been consumed by fire.  I said, "Hey, we've got all night!"

I'm done.  >:(   :(

Crap weather and RA wouldn't let us have electric and it's $50 for a camping fee! ??? CCS needs to pick a date in late May, July, August or even early September. Every year sucks up there. Where's the spectators at? The 5 or 6 friends I had coming up all looked at the forecast and said no way, have fun. There isn't one positive about this time of year of that track.  :-[ I'm going to miss it but I'm done done done!!!!!!!!!

Problem besides cost would be getting a better date. RA is booked everyday, 7 days a week during June, July, and August. Didn't ask about May or September.

I'm glad that was behind me. I must have passed 20 bikes going into turn 1. That was an awsome race!

How many years until you're into double digits as a YPSB? ;D

As far as booking other dates fro RA..... I talked with Carson from the Track Safety Crew and he said they have a grand total of 3 days that the track isn't booked from now until October - and all 3 of those days are this week!!!

Too bad we couldn't have gotten a booking for a week earlier - it was in the 80's then!

You deal with what you're given .....
- no electricity?  that's a problem at a number of tracks.  
- $50 camping fee? you can't even camp at Putnam!
- cold weather? I stood out in the cold all day - no complaints here.  I checked the forecast before I left home and packed accordingly.   That's kind of like complaining that it will be hot and humid at Barber in August.....  DUH!!
