Let the season begin..! - Gstarron - 19-01-2009
Hi all over there in frozen land... Here in sunny California (it was 70 degrees F here yesterday), I am getting ready for the new race season..! In just over 4 weeks, the first race is at Roebling Road, in Georgia. This is a nice small track out in the countryside. pretty darn flat, but scenic..! This is the "warm up" event for Daytona the following week..! Daytona is well known for sure, but it is mostly a horse power track.. the more power you have the better. But still a good rider makes a BIG difference.! Then in April we race on the West Coast... And although it seems like a long ways off, that is likely to be the last race before the Manx..! (I will do some track days and lots of dyno time) I call all of those races "warm ups" for the Manx. Yes, months away.. but plenty soon..!! I get chills just thinking about it...
So, you lot stay warm... soon it will be your turn to get your bikes on the track... less than 8 months until the Manx..!! (Oh yes, got to pay attention to the TT as well...)
Cheers..!!
Ron

Glad I decided to read the new rule book, it reminded me that I need to change my exhaust, can't run the open mega in the states... darn..

Hi Chris..!
OK, I will be there long before you.. and stay after you are gone... no camping at Roebling... not sure what your plans are. We then head to Daytona on Saturday. Plenty of time to meet up and I will gladly help you out. Also you will find a LOT of help both here and when you arrive on the IOM. Everyone is nice and helpful..! Well, except I did see a good egging last year... but no worry, you won't have that honour... heh.. Also you can e-mail me privately at gstarron@aol.com.
Cheers.!!
