It could be as hot as 110 at Willow Springs.

Those of us locals know that we're REQUIRED to have at least 6 litres of water and liquids. It's hard to get it through the heads of some visitors that alcohol doesn't count. Last time, we had a guy collapse right into our pit.

It'll be a fun day of racing tomorrow but heat IS a factor.

...and I'm still buttoning the beast back together and dyno-tuning today for the new fuel. Never enough time - hate losing a practice day but whatchya goin' ta doo?

Yeah I was our there today doing corner duty and man, it was a furnace! I'm having second thoughts about racing tomorrow. I don't think the stock 1125r cooling system is going to handle it.

It was brutal today. Unfortunately, I had one crash, and the clutch won't disengage, so I won't be there Sunday.

Beastly hot. Be sure to bring LOTS of water.

Was that you in the new racers school?

Rodrob: It sure was. Not a very auspicious beginning, eh? I'll be back August 14-15 to give it another run, so long as I can get the trackbike fixed by then.

Damn bad luck. I was excited and surprised to see the bike go by. I was doin' flags in turn three, but it looked like you had trouble with 4B? I couldn't see it from where I was. Don't feel bad. That turn can bite the best. It bit me in my first race after the new racers school. I hope you didn't get hurt. I'm still a novice but have learned the track pretty well. I don't think I will be there in August as I am doing level 3&4 of the Cal Superbike school, which I cannot recommend highly enough. But after that, look me up and we can do some laps and I'll help you find the Buell line.

Much obliged, Rodrob. Hope to see you there in August, too, Slaughter!

August will be fun. At least THIS TIME I'll have the bike ready!
