Default who else got wet at richmond?

Rode the bike out to Richmond and got one run in before the downpour. Wasn't even paying attention to shifting or speed with that run either. Everyone was telling me that there wasn't much braking distance out there so I was paying too much attention to everything else BUT my bike. Started braking when I saw the huge EXIT sign. Missed it by a mile. Rode all the way to the end of the track to exit. First time at a track and I get rained out after a crappy run. Then had to ride home in the pouring rain.

What a crock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

poor you ;p

this might be a dumb question but...

can you get all season tires for sportbikes? only asking cause every tire i've seen has had huge contact patches and didnt look like they'd be too friendly in the wet.

I was out at VMP. Feet are still wet. Had to push a damn car.
I didn't do much more than take video. Goat said he will post them so keep an eye out. Hehe they probably get a little shakey up top but I tried.

Also congrats to Girlie and Goat on the times.

i was driving a white integra, it was a bad night for me, my best run was 13.7, i should have broken a 13.3 cause i hit 13.5@109 last time, but it was pretty chilly outside and my tires suck, i hate street tires, plus im not the master of traction control, even when i pedal the gas i still spin, hell i was ripping 3rd, i need slicks.........
