Greg, thanks for the great write up and please keep them coming. I head that David Benjamin (is he the PTT owner?) is really fast so, if you could catch up with him.....well congrats on great racing.

David Benjamin is one of the head guys with Z2.  He goes pretty well (especially on his new bike) but this is the second time he has beaten me in a race.  The first time was also at Buttonwillow last year.

But when you do it and end up crashing, be sure to find the camera and rep a "4" so you can make Joe's best of the year photo collection!  More points if you're inverted, still looking at the camera and reppin 4theriders!
