LW Superbike was a bit of carnage with the rain really hitting mid-race after it looked like it was going to be a dry race.  Seemed like at least 4 or 5 people crashed out, I know both of the Rios boys did along with my teammate Shun who was in 1st or 2nd in AM at the time.  I got "gifted" 3rd place by keeping the bike upright I guess!  Felt like ice skating with slicks on the bike, MAM does not have good wet traction. 

I hope to see someone else out there on a Ninja 650R next year, I think I was the only one all year until one of the MRA guys showed up at MAM with one this weekend.  Should be a fun class next year with some different bikes besides SVs, I know there will be at least one more Ducati in the class next year!  8)

A Big Thanks to Ben Probst and his Uncle for taking care of my truck and trailer and getting it back to STL in one piece and with my bikes, tires, spares, fuel, etc....  I was half afraid that everyone would think it was from the taking.

Apparantly you haven't looked through your trailer very closely.

Oh and thats not VP in those cans anymore.

Thanks for all the cool stuff.  Hope you get some cool replacements for Xmas.  :)

 I put on rains, but I didn't want to end my season throwing it down. I ended up not gridding for the LWGP or the shootout. I thought there was no way in hell Jamie Hall would beat Lacy, so I told him I'd pay his bar tab this Thursday if he did. Well I guess Lacy isn't that good in the rain and although it was Jamie's first time in the rain he definitely made it look easy.  Hope he doesn't drink too much, I already broke from this season.

Well for my first few rain races, I had a really good time.  It must have been a perfect tire set up...Running a Jeff Purke Dunlop take off from about four years ago and a B-Stone rear that Rich Wu let me borrow.  Lacy definitely showed me some lines and I had a great time out there in all three of the rain races.  I had a good time but like J. Jenkins said, I only enjoyed the rain this time because I havent crashed in it yet...Might be true but if riding in the rain is the only way I can win races then I will hope for more rain...

And as far as beers go,,,well Rich I sure am glad that you got that credit card limit increased...........

Cheers.
