$290 shipped is a really good price. are you sure you got medium/soft? at 290, i think you got medium dual compound

i was no where near 1:07's. i brake way too early to pull those types of times

This weekend ROCKED!!!! I don't think I can portray how awesome this weekend was…both days, everything just flowed for me….I worked on my body positioning, lines and speed….and they all improved. HUGE thanks to all the CR's that helped me out and gave me pointers; Mouse, Troy, Nick, Jen, Nick….you all are unbelievable. And we couldn't have asked for better weather!!!!

So yes I dragged knee for the first time on Saturday….I know it's not a big deal (well it was after I did it) everyone was just giving me a hard time cuz I haven't yet….so during lunch we put my bike up on stands and Jen helped me with body positioning….then we did our girls session (which kicked ass!!)….I dragged knee for the first time during the girls session in turn 8!!! I was like what was that….kinda freaks you out the first time….then it was smooth sailing after that

Sorry to everyone who went down…a few of you got right back on but for Enes and Dug2… Sucks….wanted to ride with you guys more in I

Sunday I focused on my body positioning and speed….and yes Troy I will keep working on body positioning …..but I know I got faster on Sunday….my morning sessions were the best. I was right on Terra's ass until she started passing….that is what I have to work on next too

Shadow Video got a lap of me, they were out there testing their cameras so I will post that later….and everyone can critique. Biggy let me use his lap time for a session and my best time was 1:24….wish I knew what I was running the day before just to compare, Thanks Mike!!!!

Another HUGE thanks to Terra and MOUSE for the air conditioned trailer…it was nice to go in there and cool off when needed!

I also have about 8 rolls of film to get developed….yeah it was a film camera but I have some nice zoom lens…thanks to Shannon, Mia, Jim and Dave for taking pictures….I got some yesterday too….so I will drop them off today….lets hope we got some good ones cuz I never saw a photographer out there

And it was so much fun riding with everyone this weekend, there were many of us in I; Terra, Tea, Biggy, Enes, Dug2, Plotts, Mouse, Troy, Marcus, Jen (sorry if I missed anyone)….missed riding with Dean and Keith…since they got bumped to A…but you boys looked awesome out there. I followed, Terra, Tea, Shelly a lot

Everyone else looked great...Hunny, Mao, Ryan, Ron, Steve, Keith, Dean, Omar

Huge thanks to hunny for driving my car home last night from the track....…I rode home in a tank top, capris and flip flops…wow…now I know how the squids feel….but damn my bike generates A LOT of heat!!

We went to Heroe's last night for some beer and food…which was yummy….HUGE thanks to John again, you didn't have to do that!!!

Thanks to everyone who came out to spectate on both days…hope you all had fun…..I know some of you want to get out there now too!!!

Til next time

Last night I dreamed I was dragging knee on the track again. This time without dragging hard parts.

Yeah umm, your footing is wrong. Dragging toe is dangerous.

Even though I didn't get to ride this weekend I had a great time watching everyone else! I actually learned a lot watching everyone, especially Jen showing Terra and Shelly the correct body positioning on the bike in the pits. The other Shelly also taught me a lot about "circling the tank". Man I can't wait to do my first track day now!

Congrats Shell for dragging knee! Glad you finally did it and continued to do it the rest of the weekend! You go girl!

Congrats Ryan for dragging knee and developing a new addiction! You had the biggest smile on your face all weekend long! You owe me for cleaning up Hershey's runny poop tho. As soon as I saw him crap in the grass I realized what it meant next and I remembered why I don't have a dog anymore... I hate cleaning up dog crap especially when it's runny, steaming hot and about 20 pounds worth!

Sorry I didn't get to see a lot of you yesterday. Terra brought her dog with and I had Hershey all day so I couldn't go over to see any of you without Hershey trying to eat Terra's little dog.

Had a great time. To the Asian crew it was fun pitting with you guys. Brain it was no problem helping you out. I would have done it for anybody. Im glad you did not miss any tracktime. Ron it was fun riding with you in A. To bad i was lapping your ass every session. haha But seriously your koolaid is a keeper. Im no Chuck Norrin so dont hate on me cuz she gave me her #. To everyone who helped me out in the pits thanks. Mia thanks for the bruises on my chest. When i told you to hit me in the chest on the 2 up ride if you got spooked I didn't mean the whole 10 min. Oh wait maybe you where doing that cuz you where spooked the whole 10 min Glad i put that shit eatin grin on your face. I think you hooked for the track now!

This was the first time having the Ducati on the track and I was impressed. Handled like a dream and held up with me ridng in like a 2 dollar hoar. Wish it was my old 999 though since I was way down on power. I was able to get down to the 1:09 at the end of the day which i was happy with since I always had in the back of my mind :if I throw this bike down tot he ground i waill have to take a loan out just to fix it haha. That is one negitave to tracking a ducati.

Grasshopper it was fun dicing it up with you and following your lines. Fucking with the new R! out there was a blast. Even though he had 70 more horse than both of us.

yup. that's pretty much why i haven't done any track yet. that and the fact that i prolly wouldn't be able to replace it even if i wanted to in the unfortunate event that i were to wad it up.

Good seeing you guys at Autobahn. This taking time off from the track stuff is killing me.

Congrats to everybody for their personal improvements. 1:09 is flying Steve!
