We got the stock gear box in, and it moves forward and back, so now I just have to pray I can make it last 2 hours before it pukes that gearbox. 1st it didnt want to fire, then that. One of these days ..............grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. You can get to the dealership whenever you want I will be there around 10-11 to get the trailer and start loading. Now I have to pray my trailer will work.

wow, just wow. awesome day/night. Thanks again al. Your selfish act really feels more like a favor you did for us. haha. nice when things work out that way. Im definitly hooked now. When i got home i looked at my guitar and though...thats worth like 2 lapping days and gas .

Ryan, nice meeting you. question, the last few laps around the track before 730, was that you that almost lost it going into and coming out fo turn 3? someone got pretty squirly there infront of me.


And again, im astonished at the time i made on the drive. i could have sworn it was a 3hr drive from shannonville to guelph, yet here i am, home at just after 1am...very odd. Maybe it was that lonely stretch of the highway where i was driving without the cruise, looked down and realized i was taveling at a very....er....naughty...speed. haha.

cant wait to do this again...just have to scrape together soem gas money.

Was a really great day. Dieing to get some racing tires on OEM rims but will heed to Al's advice, namely, learn how to drive fast first

So Gecko, you have a bit of time before I whoop your butt with new slicks It was great to see you again BTW, and I must say, loving your new ride. Must be a total blast with the top down.

Don't worry Rev, I won't be selling my 8 anytime soon

'Drive and run'

Hi Guys (and Al),

Sorry to show up and leave so quickly on Friday. I had a call from the wife...

Hope there was no damage to the yellow car that went 'off roading'...

Cheers, Tim (copper red #8)

Rxracer - everyone was wondering what happened to you, u were running pretty good, was following you for a bit, then you were gone. Nope all was good. Think you owe some cash tho!

I was the first one of the track, some would say I was coerced off the track by Mr. B.

In any case I lived up to the deal and got the first round. Would have bought you more Thumper and Gecko, but the new laws kicked in that day and don't want you guys getting suspended.

Got a few weeks to figure out how to do that heel toe properly.

Thx again to Crew Chief Chris, who showed me a few laps on the proper technique to master Shannonville with.

lol...next time you will know to ignore Mr. B, he will get around you when he wants.

You did...thx again!! You owned up to it. I didn't know about that new stupid law till Saturday when I read it on here. I wouldn't have asked u for another round anyways, it should only have to be one round other wise crazy expensive which isn't cool and not cool drinkin and driven.

A couple more times you will be rockin!

I appreciate the one drink Jay.....I honestly didn't expect to get a drink at all so one was great....I'm not a huge stickler for the whole first off the track thing...although it did work in my benifit Looking forward to the next track day....may have a new BBK by then...woot, woot. Sold my bike yesterday so I have a bit of cash in my pocket...now if I could just find where my wife put my pocket that would be great
