To everyone who was at CMP this past weekend (4/11-12)

To CHRIS410 my few pics are on the gallery page at the very top of the page.
I agree with what you said. I really enjoy the fellowship that goes on during a weekend away from our normal life jobs. I was really sick this past week w/ an infection. I was better in time to go. It was the get away I needed. It was my first race working corners this season. I look forward to VIR next but it will prob.be the fall event in Sept. and not the National  in June. Have a great race at Summit!

I had a blast hanging out with everybody. We need to get more SE races. Maybe another CMP and possibly a RRR round.

+1 to that!

[Chris410]

Good meeting you Derek...another CMP round would be fun! 

BTW...next time make sure and try the chicken! ha ha ha...

It was a great weekend, except for the pencil-neck little twerp cornerworker who accussed me of making a pass under waving yellow when in fact it was standing yellow, which cost me 5 positions due to the 1 lap penalty.

Chris, you hit the nail on the head bro, the friendships we experience at the track are hard to duplicate anywhere else.  I think all our bros that wadded are doing well.  The airlift on Sunday turned out okay, and I picked up the racer in Columbia and brought him back to the track later in the day.  I did hear that during the track day a rider on a yellow bike broke both his wrists, if anyone knows who he is, shoot me a pm.  Look forward to linking up with you at Summit, and yeah, racing CCS is worth all the expense and pain, there are very few times and places in life to push the limits of courage, amidst the company of those with such noble hearts.

I believe his name is Kevin Tucker, I met him not too long before he crashed.  He was there for the same reason I was, both of our Cornerspeed diplomas had expired, and we both had to retake the written test to get race licenses.  Quite a few of the Cornerpeed instructors said he is really fast.

Except for the rain messng up the first race on Saturday it really was a great weekend of racing and I really enjoyed meeting some new people and seeing some old faces again.  Still the friendliest club around for me.  And I have to say mad props to that Wilkey kid for logging (i'm pretty sure) the fastest 600 lap time of the weekend on basically a street bike with a stock suspension, he was impressive.   I know he was flying when he passed me. Too bad he was starting from the back of every grid.

Hoep to see you all again at Summit!

[stickboy274]

Right, chicken. I'll make sure to do that.

Thanks for the great comment! I always enjoy them. That pencil neck cornerworker was me. That was waving yellow as I told you later. AND I STAND FIRM ON THAT! My other worker was waiving the yellow. What A shame that cost you five positions when you gained 2 by that move. All you had to do was hold your line behind or beside exp.#107 and nothing would have been said. But I guess you thought it good to pass him and the other bike on the inside of the turn BEFORE the accident site. You sure caught them off guard too with it as I saw them do a panic swerve as you squeezed through, lucky for them and you that no one or nothing was on the track. Yellow means caution. Didn't your learn that in school? Instead of sucking it up you have to cry here and try to defame me.
I've been doing this for many years now. Don't ever mistake me for some noob when you see me out there! I pay attention to everything! At times I have saved a few riders  asses from getting hurt real bad by noticing things you guys might not notice ie. smoking, fire, debris on track because you are doing what you are supposed to do. Its a shame you didn't see it that way.
By the way and thank god nothing did happen if it did you could bet that I would have done anything to help you or anyone else for that matter as that is my job and what I'm supposed to do. You should give more respect than that. You have no one to blame but yourself. You just got caught. If the ref would have seen it he would have done the same if not a worse penalty on you.

I don't enjoy having to do such things as that. The only thing I enjoy is reporting all is well at an accident and that everyone made it through ok. Unfortunately there are times when these things have to be reported. If the shoe was on the other foot I'm sure you would had some things to say about it.
Peace!

Hey Cornerman,

I know I wasn't there so I can't really comment but I will anyway.


If and that is a BIG IF a corner goes waving and the rider involved
in the pass is in danger of a$$packing the bike in front let the pass
take place. It is even better if the rider doing the passing lets the
other bike repass.

I have been in your position many times and also been in the position
to slap the fingers of the rider/riders involved.

For some funny reason once the helmet goes on the only flags seen
are the Green & Checkers with any regularity.

I know what your response is to my comment is so I will put it here for you.
