I ordered a set of Hyperpro springs from Kevin.  Soon I'll be that fast, too!!! ;D

Great job Kevin!

[Super Dave]

It was good.  Didn't get the results that I wanted for him, but he'd never been to Road Atlanta.  Sears (Infineon) was a wash out for him.  

My cell phone bill will hurt with all the suspension ideas we were trying before and after practice and qualifying.  

Next for Kevin should be Pikes Peak.  I can't go, again, but I'll be working with him at Road America.

Thanks guys for all the kudos!  Yeah, Road Atlanta is a really fun track.  Bumpy like the old Blackhawk, but a lot of fun.

This was technically my first big AMA weekend with Sears being a wash.  I walked away with a big learning curve.

First thing learned- Get to track, unload bike, strap it on and learn the track at 10 seconds off race pace in your first session out having no idea where you are going.

Second- Make the most of every single track session.  The local guys are way fast and you are still learning the track and RIDE REALLY FAST!

Third- Fresh tires are key!  I had a rear on that had 12-15 laps and was spinning for qualifying.  Put a new rear on and instantly went 3/4 second faster in qualifying.  This equates to ONE LARGE TIRE BILL FOR THE WEEKEND!

Fourth- Above all else. Have Fun!

I walked away raising my riding to a new level and having to push myself really hard to new levels to keep up.  I just missed qualifying for superbike, which was disappointing. However, I have a weekend under my belt and am getting an understanding of what it takes.

And, it was cool sitting on the grid right behind Doug Chandler and getting a good launch following him into turn one.

Next week at Pikes, I'm looking to improve my finishes and qualify for SB and do well.  I realized now I can ride at this level.

thanks everyone!  And 170hp rules over 110 from last year!
