Default Calling 1000RR - Sandia Track Day '10

Ran across some photos from last year and saw this one of you. I'm riding the '86 GSXR behind you. The other shot is me on the S1000RR in practice for the SuperStreet race. Can wait to get out there this year! Have fun this weekend.

Very Nice... Was out there today... looked like boat wakes of sand coming off the rear tires of bikes going into turn one... from that nasty wind storm yesterday

Then there was a guy highside in the very first session of the day in the hair pin on his 1st or 2nd lap (advanced group)... Throttled out a little too much and out it dumped him... the temps were down below freezing the night before up there. On the way into the Track, my temp gauge on the truck was reading 27.

Then there was me... getting the cob webs off the first session... and boy were there some cob webs That and I was fighting w/a new quick shifter I installed over the winter. Think I had my lever a little too high (standard shift) and the kill time was too small for the quick shifter.

Session two was better, until I took a rock to the radiator Kept smelling something on turn 4 (left hander)... after about the third lap of smelling something, I decided it was me and now I was hoping that I wasn't gonna loose the rear Temps were good... so I pitted out and as soon as I slowed down and the wind wasn't carrying all the fluid down my left side, steam just STARTED ROLLING out and around the gauge cluster and air intake tubes

That ended the day for me... but everything (and me) are in one piece - so all in all a good day.
