It could be as hot as 110 at Willow Springs. Those of us locals know that we're REQUIRED to have at least 6 litres of water and liquids. It's hard to get it through the heads of some visitors that alcohol doesn't count. Last time, we had a guy collapse right into our pit. It'll be a fun day of racing tomorrow but heat IS a factor. ...and I'm still buttoning the beast back together and dyno-tuning today for the new fuel. Never enough time - hate losing a practice day but whatchya goin' ta doo? |

Yeah I was our there today doing corner duty and man, it was a furnace! I'm having second thoughts about racing tomorrow. I don't think the stock 1125r cooling system is going to handle it. |

It was brutal today. Unfortunately, I had one crash, and the clutch won't disengage, so I won't be there Sunday. Beastly hot. Be sure to bring LOTS of water. |

Was that you in the new racers school? |

Rodrob: It sure was. Not a very auspicious beginning, eh? I'll be back August 14-15 to give it another run, so long as I can get the trackbike fixed by then. |

Damn bad luck. I was excited and surprised to see the bike go by. I was doin' flags in turn three, but it looked like you had trouble with 4B? I couldn't see it from where I was. Don't feel bad. That turn can bite the best. It bit me in my first race after the new racers school. I hope you didn't get hurt. I'm still a novice but have learned the track pretty well. I don't think I will be there in August as I am doing level 3&4 of the Cal Superbike school, which I cannot recommend highly enough. But after that, look me up and we can do some laps and I'll help you find the Buell line. |

Much obliged, Rodrob. Hope to see you there in August, too, Slaughter! |

August will be fun. At least THIS TIME I'll have the bike ready! |
