    Anyone else jonsin for some racing?

    Between going to MotoGP and basically having a month off... I'm literally going nuts waiting for the next weekend!

    Anyone else in this boat. Shit can't come fast enough.

    What's the ROLL CALL for July 23rd - 24th.

    Myself:
    Race 2: Heavyweight SS
    Race 8: Lightweight SS
    Race 13: Ultralight SB

    After the 23rd I'll be able to move up to Am. wooha.

    I am jonesing bad. Me and Dan got a little fix out in PA but the more you get the more you want. Can't wait to get out there. I'm eligable to move up to Am, want to see what kind of times and consistancy I'm running before I put in the request. Probably request the bump after this weekend.

    Yeah, This break was too long, especially after two in a row!. I had finally gotten up to the high pace I had at the end of last year, and now I'll have to work hard to get there again next weekend. Luckily the july/aug/sept races come pretty quickly.

    See you all there.

    I actually watched some Nascar today......

    Just because they were at Loudon and I was scoping out the infield with all the overhead shots.

    Makes my cringe to see all the RV's parked on the hill leading into Turn 6. I better not ride over any redneck turds left behind.

    You can do iiiiiiit.

    If I had a money tree I'd do some races on Sunday. Looks like some fun classes. I'll have to do more Sunday Races once I go Am.. Ultralight Superbike is Race 2 on Sunday.

    hehe.

    Jay KNOWS he can move up. As he said.. he's waiting till after this weekend.

    I on the other hand can't friggin wait to get out of Novice. First off: You don't get SHIT for doing well in Novice. I could use the contingency money from Pirelli... Second (and way more important) my best friend, and guy I grew up riding with, is a Expert. Once I move up to Am we'll be able to at least ride together in Practice. We are both really looking forward to that. Hence why I'm doing 3 races this weekend. Have 7 thus far.. need 10. I think my index is .690 or some crap.

    Oxx: I run a 88 Honda Hawk. I bought it in January, been racing / riding on track since May.

    Alex, what do you pay for the Pirellis? I got a set out in PA and liked them so I checked with street and comp, they want almost a hundred dollars more per set then I paid out there and that's with me being on the racer support program.

    I gotta say that staying healthy for a month has been pretty tough. I hurt both my kees (not too bad) and now I think I may have re-broken my wrist. Aargh! Took a header off my longboard (skateboard) yesterday and my wrist feels a bit more than tweaked...

    Intensive ice, vitamin I, and whirlpool therapy all week for me...

    I pay $330 a set at S n' Comp.
    I've been liking them. Went with them because that's what my friend has been racing with for the last 3 years. They also 'go off' rather predictably, which is nice.

    What's this business about buying tires from Joe? How much $$?? Saving money is a good thing.

    Sorry to hear about the wrist Paul.
