Erik Buell Racing just posted up that the show will also be on Youtube after the fact. Some of us in CA can't make the 5:00 start time or can't access at work so this is good news! |

You may have to go into your FB account settings and change your Account Security. If you have a check mark next to "Secure Browsing", un-check it. After the show go back in a check it to get back on a secure connection. |
