    Weekend #2 was another great one

    Two weekends in a row of great weather, right through to the end. I'm perhaps the most happy that the grid sizes are the biggest they have been in years, and that there are a bunch of new novices on the grid. Things are looking good.

    The racing was close again, although I'm glad that no one got seriously hurt in the MWSS race on Sunday. I guess Scott Mullin got the worst of it and busted up his foot pretty badly. Best wishes for a speedy recovery to him.

    Next weekend's classic should be a really good race. I know that I'm looking forward to it, as is the rest of the field. I think that we've got one of the closest races we've seen in years coming down the road. We'll try to help get the word out when the race schedule comes out so you can all plan your weekend and hopefully invite your families out to watch our big race. The 2 day school is filling up quickly, so if you are looking for a spot please don't put it off....it's my favorite event of the year and every year we have riders drop a bunch of time just in time for the classic. I hope to see everyone there.

    Trying to line everything up so I can take the school that weekend. I figure I should be able to learn a bunch more than at the first round school seeing as I won't be trying to wrestle a hard tail around this time.

    I need to find a trailer or something, after 6 days at the track my tent is going to be stinky...

    I love the big grids! What happens if a grid hits 40? No more people are allowed to enter that race?

    We split races if grids get too big. In the old days we did it all the time. It has not been something we've had to do for a while.

    Glad to hear the grids are back, It sucked racing with 3 people and was one of the big reasons I left. 30 heads into turn one is the way it should be.

    It's all water under the bridge, and we do enter the next round-robin. Am I wrong?

    They split race 4 on saturday into 4 and 4a because the grid was too big (I assume that's why they did it).

    HWSS had 31 bikes even after the split.

    F50L had 20 bikes.

    So it would have been over 50 bikes.

    I believe it was over 70 with experts and amateurs combined. I love watching these huge grids come by. This years novice MW class is enormous. I think I heard one race for them had 33 in the first wave. I hope it continues.

    Mongo's plan to destroy roadracing has failed.

    I had heard that too but it was actually 57 registered and 51 started.

    Definitely....nothing bodes better for the future of road racing than large Novice grids.
