I will start it out . One of the best days of my track life. A slow start that came arould a took us all by the seat of our paints. What a great day. I know there is some good footage out there, and not only by 4theriders.... let see some.
Nice to see action shots.

I was telling my friend about the "guy on the triumph that crashed." I was hoping you had some pics of your bike you wouldn't mind posting. Or have you already pushed it to the curb for WM?
Could someone let me know if/how I can still contact the photogs to purchase pics?
Also, I would like to contact Jerome... Jerome, can you send me a personal msg or email?
Thanks!

I had a great time! This was a great way to end the season. Thank you to everyone for all the help and advice this year. I have learned so much since June 8th. I went from being a complete track noob to a dedicated track junky. I'm already looking forward to next season.
+1 on that reno240. same here. thanks everyone for a complete rubber-side-down season and an addiction that I most certainly will not "get help" for ;D
A group was empty. Some of you faster B groupers need to ride in A. SSA A groups are mellow.
The red flag delays in the morning put a damper on my day and I didn't get many laps. Oh well, at least my rear tire lives to play another day.
I think I will upgrade to A to get whooped by a few of you next season. need some leathers that fit first tho....
common 4theriders! lets get some pics up on ur website! no excuses only results!!!! :D :D

Sorry about that Erik. I was just trying to show everyone what happens if you dont warm your tires up. :P
I had a great time helping out with getting all you guys and gals out on the track. It was good to see tons of people I have not seen in a few years and can't wait till next year! I'm getting a track bike and will be out riding next year.

It's a great day when the whole family is having fun, what a blast! Whens the next SSA day, jerome...awesome job everyone.

I think we've got enough slow riders in the A group. We don't need to put more in the mix. It just gets a little dangerous when you come into turn one with a 40mph difference than another rider.
Really? I didn't notice one. Maybe I am one.
I'm just saying people like Alberto who can run around 3:00 laps, hold their lines, and carry decent speed into T1 should get out of the crowded B group.
how are people going to get better if others are discouraging them from moving up. I agree with yard sale on this one. Those in A group should have the experience to reconize when they are catching a "measly 600" :P on the front straight... ;)
I just like it better to pass that been passed ;D

Around 3:00 gets you in "A" group? News to me....

Oh SNAP! :D

Signing up in A group gets you in A group. Riding the right lines, holding your line when passed, and carrying decent corner speed doesn't get you rude gestures from the guy with YARD SALE on his windscreen. 3:00 was just a suggestion guesstimating Alberto's times. If you somehow run 2:40 but can't manage triple-digit speeds through turn one, stay out of A.

The problem isn't the people that have the speed to move up, its the people that think they move up, and I'm not even talking about people on a "measly 600". I'm talking the guys in a group on 1000's that can't hold their line, that think they are fast enough to be in A group. Speed should have nothing to do with the, but I have noticed plenty of people that can't hold a line in A group.

FYI I was cloked 2:58 more than a month ago lapping with Lance...... 8)
And Sunday I was passed by some but not all the "A" group riders when I joined in.....
I am going at leat over 120 in turn one and maintain at about 100 all the way to turn 2.
I know... everytime I pass somebody they always say later:" oh yeah I was with you the all time" ::)
You passed me like I was standing still. You are so A group material.
