Ah yes.. need to put a helmet on must-buy list for summer

BTW, to the OP and whoever went to this one, how much did the track charge you? Did you get the whole day?

It was $225 for the road course and track time all day, taking turns off and on track. Once you do that you can go back anytime for just track time, no instruction, for $125. Well worth it

FOR SURE! did jose take the pics on the track or did you figure out some way to get them off of the photographer's website?

You're welcome, Gundarx, and Karstman, I bought the CD from the photographer, 18 shots for $35, but there's a bunch more good pictures coming from Jose that he took, too, and even a little video. I'll post more pics over the weekend.

See you at the fish meet

LAWL! Was is the photographer with the printer in his trunk?

I just went on his web site and ripped the images off of it. Plus when I went there was a massive line and I didn't want to wait.
