Someone give me to scoop since I could not make it. :'(

I hear there were some fast AM on hondas?
Greg & Peanut how was it running with the EX?
Did Donney make it down there? I saw him at Summit on the 8th testing out his new R6.

Super Dave

I saw Greg and Peanut.

Weather was good for Friday, and it looked like a good turn out.

First, Dave, GREAT to meet you finally.  ;D Too bad you couldn't stay longer. the weather worsened but fortunately stayed dry for most of the races. See ya in June.

Dan Burnette (Suzuki) was killin 'em out there in the AM class...I thought he got bumped.  ??? There were two really fast other guys in the AM that I noticed, both Hondas.

For me, well, at least it was better than Daytona.  :) Peanut is HELLA fast on his new R6. Saturday I wasn't up to his game and couldn't keep up. I settled for 8th in GTU and MWGP. Ran a 35 flat in the GP. Sunday tried to step it up a bit. Almost looped it on the start of MWSB, but made it up in turn one. Cummings and Trey got by and checked out, so ended up with my first podium. Third! whoo hoo.  :)  MWSS had a great start and led until turn 7 when Cummings got by. followed for a couple laps and it wore me OUT!! slacked off to 36's for 3 laps which let Jason M and #312 (can't remember his name) catch up to me, Jason got by but held off 312 for another 3rd place and 2nd expert podium. Trey and Peanut were out of that race. MWSB ran a 1:34.7, MWSS bested a 1:34.3.  

Congrats to nut in his 5th in GTU, that was a Long a$$ race, good job man. Nut also beat me for the weekend on lap time... next time man  :P

Donny wasn't there this weekend.  ???

You would have been a big sandbagger; I thought Dan got bumped too.  I knew #711 was getting an RR but I thought he got bumped.

Fun weekend!  1st off I'd like to say congrads to Greg, he dropped times and stayed upright!  Very consistent.

It wasn't as bad as I thought.  After being in the mix on Sat. and being able to work though the pack a bit, my nervousness went away.  Got down to 33.8 on Sunday and felt pretty comfortable doing that.  I crashed in the ungp race running 4th, but am probably happier I ran all 34's in a crowd than anything else.  I think after I cleared those guys I had some more 33's coming but being the dummy I sometime am I tucked the front going into 4.  Missed the last race so I am I bit bummed about that but I'll get it fixed for Summit.  

There is more time to be had out there, so I'm excited!

I more thing, you can't have bad starts in EX!  You can run fast laps but everyone is fast and doesn't like to be passed so getting through is tough.  By the time I cut though the leaders were gone.  I don't have anything for Nicky, Matt and Trey right now but you have to start with them to truly get a gauge.  And like most of last year I can't get off the line to save my life.  I thought I had gotten rid of that at Daytona last year but I obviously forgot everything that Ryan taut me.  All the starts were bad but the 3 lowest points were: being on the 2nd row in ungp and being next to last going into turn 1, being on pole and being 15thish going into 1, and Greg telling me he had a horrible start in one race but still was able to look over at me on the way by.   :-/

Needless to say I'm trying to get info on a drag race school today and if anyone knows about one I'm all ears!
