WHAT'S NEW
TRACKADDIX '07 Finale
| Even a late day storm could not put a damper on the final TrackAddix trackday for 2007. No matter what you brung or what your experience level was. Everyone had a good time. |  |
 |
The day stayed dry right up to the late afternoon and
the slow, medium and fast groups got in a lot of seat time. Before the heavens opened up we were warned by our Red Light Rescue safety crew, that a big storm cell was about to hit us. So we got the corner worker staff off and the riders clear of the track before it hit and boy did it hit. |
The track opened up again after allowing the storm to
pass and the cornerworkers to get back out to their posts. This allowed
the rain tire shod riders and the brave street guys a chance to test
their skills before the track dried. Thanks to all the people who stayed
to the end of a great See you next year on the long and short tracks at BIR. |

BIR...CRA...August 07
| Another year and I get the chance to ride with the old school players. But first of all, I have to get up to speed. Easier said than done I cant get my fat gut to fit over the tank. |  |
 |
Even so, I get my friends to help me and the newriders
class goes very smoothly. This gives me time to go out on the track and scuff in my Dunlop trackday-street tires for another crack at the lap timer. Yet another change of ride height to compensate from the race tires used up by Mark Chido last time out on my bike. |
| I wish to thank the two Marks, Jensen and Miller for
their help in the classroom and on the track which allowed me to at least give it a try for another year. So I'm an Expert for another year. "That's Year number 40 folks!" |

"Boy was it hot!! |

The gladiators of the weekend were those |
Of course we had a newriders school
which introduced a few more souls to the frying pan, who done a great
job of staying upright for the day and getting their licenses. Congratulations |

May 2007 CRA - BIR
| Our odds are running at about 50/50 at the season opener at Brainerd International Raceway, Minnesota! Where we were able to get most of the new rider school in with decent weather. Then the heavens opened up! I blame it on newrider #666 seen here in the background. |
 |
 |
Even though the weather turned against us it became prudent to run the newrider race in the rain with explicit instructions to all participents that they run the middle lane of the drag strip for every lap. Even I had to wear appropriate rain gear (Belstaff) |
| Congratulation to all the newriders who enmasse finished a gruelling race and received their licenses. Thanks to all the cornerworkers and spectators who stood out along with Jonah (apt name, eh!) to get the photos of the winner below. |

Back in the day!!! |
