I'm the rider in the green leathers on the green and purple zx6r (with the single front headlight). Easily confused with the rider in black leathers on the green zx6r (with the dual headlights) but don't do that, that's Pete and he'd be offended as he's a good bit faster than me

Another Saxman -
I must have been holding him up.

Couple of cool video captures I thought -

[smoothwaterman]

still going...

For those that missed seeing Joe on the track, here's a very short clip of him passing by. Watch closely, he shows up screaming out of T2 at 15.07.46 on the clock. (Not the guy just behind me...the little dot WAY back) You'll see me enter the traffic congestion in T3, and then as we move up over the hill into T6 you'll hear him go by.

And that my friends, is the rest of the story. I'm sure we were nothing but a bunch kids on trikes compared to his level. Very sweet.

nice pics rene - for only your second time you did better than your june 2nd outing - or maybe it was your son taking the real good ones !

okay... I've got my eye on you, Rene.... i'm watchin you

Wow what the heck are ya watching rene behind the camera for ? lol

There are about 3 or 4 other guys that glance up also. Next time I might wear camoflage. I am ready for motogp now.

you'd scare half the riders wearing camo rene..not good


Now when are we gonna see that dashingly good looking bike of yours on the track with us?

I'm hoping he'll let me take it up and run it...no doubt his zx6r would handle phenomenally better than my 535lb tank - and just think rene...anything bad happens and theres your excuse for your future ducati!

I gotta figure out who you are and thank you in person next time!

It's pretty good with a rider behind you, and not so interesting on those empty laps. Not having the front working is really a spoiler for me.

But, better than expected for a $40 camera with audio built in.

Thanks guys for all the kindnest. Until I grow a bigger pair I will watch a few few more track days. I bought my 00 zx6r with
1k miles on the clock and it only has less than 4k. Hence my being content to watch for now.

As for knowing who I am, you can't miss me I'm the big bwald soul brother #1 who wears the bright ass shirts that you guys see in the bowl. Bright red or yellow.

I will bring up the bike sometime even if only to let my wingman JJS777 ride a fxz killer

So next trackday holla at a brother.

I think you were in the stands by the bowl when I was up there with .5squid. Did you have your land rover up there?

[cropover20]

Yep That was me.

I wasn't sure who you were, wish I knew before hand you wre on the site. I would have introduced myself.
You drove by me a few times while standing on my Explorer in Turn 2 taking shots. Hopefully I will link up my shots soon. It was a loner camera from Nef and he will be burning me a disk of the shots I took. If they came out good I may buy the camera?

Catch you next time at the track, or on a group ride!

If it's the camera I think it is, any problems with the pic's will be caused by the person behind the camera, not the camera.

It is the camera you think it is.

And you are correct

<<<<<< For those that missed seeing Joe on the track, here's a very short clip of him passing by. Watch closely, he shows up screaming out of T2 at 15.07.46 on the clock. >>>>>

Question for the 35 of you tried to watch this clip, and the 12 of you that actually did. Of the 23 that did not download/stream the entire clip, was it because the file was too large, was it a connection problem, did it just hang, or what was the cause? I see a few folks attempted to watch more than once, but never got further than .1 to .5 megs worth.

I just trying to figure out better ways to do this, since it's learn as I go thing.

Thanks,
Peter
