notable moments from the morning session

it's been fun all morning but the best and worst moments respectively were:

* taking a 6-pack of 600cc riders in 3 consecutive turns, including going around the last one in a 120mph corner.

* losing the front in a tight-but-fast 90mph corner and sliding both wheels 10 feet out and onto the candy stripe on the exit.

fun stuff.

Pictures of the fun.

The first picture is me by myself in Decision, and the second was me coming through a pack of riders in the same corner...

Superstock failed, rain started -- left early

My first lap out after lunch the Superstock bike started tossing me around mid-corner, like the gas was shutting off and on again. I came in and the bike wouldn't even idle. There was a new oil leak near the head too.

Just as I pulled off my leathers and grabbed my tools, it started to rain. So I called it a day, packed up and headed home. Good enough.
