    Now. As in before the last race weekend.

    Or should I wait until next year?

    Do your own research and let me know what you think.

    How about a "yes, because I want to race you" option?

    I have seen some of your races and I would advise you to stay where you are. You are a detriment to yourself and others around you. You need to concentrate on consistently hitting the race line not the one you create. The passes you attempt are far from a pass as it usually entails an o shit moment not to mention the scars you left on the pavement from the numerous foot peg to pavement encounters. My vote is for you to finish out the year in NV. You will gain a bit more experience before your next Big Adventure.

    Wow... Ok Gino... a little harsh... Jeesh! Really...??? a detriment????

    I only left a slider scab on the pavement in ONE race AND I got up to finish it!

    I value your opinion and will hold off.

    I did not want to sugar coat things if you were on the fence. This is for you own safety. I don't want anything to happen to you especially when the wife will be there. You are a good one and will have a good long career. Don't rush it.

    Ok I see your point... Really hits home when you remind me my wife will be there too.
    I can wait.
    Scott isn't gonna race again this year so I have that to look forward too. (We can go to AM together) I really just wanted to race with Chris before he moved up... Wasn't really sure what races he did anyway... LWGP? Thunderbikes??
    There is also the being the only novice left in the pits when you guys take off for your races....

    OH WELL
    I already Pre Reged for the Novice races anyway so it would be a pain in the ass at this point to change.

    Might as well hold off...

    Gino with all his... "you are a detriment to yourself and others!"


    The thing is... It actually made me second guess my decision when NOBOBY stood up for me.

    Gino's word carries ALOT of weight I see. Looks like some of you may have been like... "OH SNAP, Gino is laying the smack down"

    It was all part of the ploy! Consider it an early last race weekend prank.

    The only time I was remotely close to you on the track was when you crashed, so I cant vouch for your riding abilities. Now, if you were to slow down about 7-8 seconds a lap, then I could give a proper indication about your safety and lines, even though I can barely figure out a proper line for myself.
