    Newbie racers unite!

    Just bring about 3 credit cards with no balances on them. Youll need them all.

    There, fixed it so my wife won't kill me should she come across this thread, it even looks sincere.

    Just think when youre doing maintenance on your bike what tools do you use. And then throw them out, you wont need those. What you WILL need is that one random tool that only fits one bolt or screw on your bike that NO ONE around you will have, you will then spend hours running to everyone you know looking for it, wait in line at street and comp for 2 hours, be thrilled they have it. Go back to street and comp, tell them you have an 0*5* whatever, not an 94, find out they dont have it. Run around some more, meet a lot of the experts with the same bike as you, find someone that has it, they will then give you about a bajillion tips about things which are actually useful, except by now you are so stressed you wont remember any of them. Finally get back to your pit, start working, the guy next to you will then say, OOOH one of THOSE, I have one right here, I thought yuo meant something else. Commit murder. Do a few years in the pokey. Get out, get a new bike cause youre old one was sold for lawyers fees. Repeat process.

    Man, if only we all had half the racing talent equivalent of some of the creativeness that is used to come up with these posts. You guys definitely keep me entertained with this stuff. (Though I must say this is a pretty accurate description of trying to fix a problem on a race weekend)

    Keep up the good work!

    Thanks Doc, this thread was very helpful indeed. I now know that the entire infield uses Dan's compressor.

    Bumped it for the title... I didn't read the whole friggin thing.


    Although that bit of info about Dan's "compressor" might prove useful. :

    I haven't even shot it yet.

    You do well this year and you are in the running to become a part of Hawk Nation and run my bike in 2010.

    Stay tuned for a formal announcement soon.
