I'll be there as well as the rest of the Coasties.............
Friday the 11th is a track day with TPM I believe, and then we're racing Saturday and Sunday.

you should definetly come check it out if you've never been, nothing like watching a advanced rider come through the kink at around 160 mph for the first time

Re: VIR: March 11, 12 and 13
yea i was never ballsy/skilled enough to keep my 1000 pinned wide open from T17 to T1, but damn its wild to watch a guy in the racer group on a liter bike go through there and not let off the throttle

But I'll get my chance soon enough!
I could never ride a liter bike on a track myself...........no ease of throttle control in the turns as you have with a 600. I can control my bike pretty well with the throttle alone. You don't have that same throttle response with a liter bike. Too much damn power..................
