for a week on the K11. SF to LA over 7 days on the motorcycle safety crew for the Aids Lifecycle fundraising ride. I should see about 1-2000 miles over 7 days. if I can get on the 'net, I'll check in. Whee!

Mike,

It sounds like you have made a complete recovery from that syndrome that you were suffering from (sorry, can't remember its name).

But Mike the USGP is still 3 weeks away :confused: talk about trying to beat the traffic :laugh:

more and more photos uploaded. check 'em out and feel free to post up your favorites. back to the action!!!

Mike, I was so sorry to see this morning that the race itself was such a ridiculous non-event. I guess the States is in many ways such a tolerant society that only there would some people figure on getting away with such a thing. If they tried something like that in a few other places, there would not be much left of the facilities at the end.

Just as well you went and got the whole deal. I've no doubt that you enjoyed most of USGP 2005. I feel really sorry for those people who went only for the race.

well, porsche supercup was exciting



as was the recon lap



and then the start



i took one more picture, and then we left. today we visited the museum



and rode the bus around the track



and then i drove to decatur, alabama. tomorrow i will visit the barber motorsports museum. there should be many cool photos tomorrow (or whenever i can get on wifi)

am i mad? at michelin, yes... for writing a letter that spooked the teams.
at the teams? kind of, for they could have run a safe race by operating the tires provided at a safe speed. in no way should bridgestone teams be penalized when michelin provided an inferior product. having an inferior car or setup is a fact of racing and separates the rest of the field from the winners.

oh well. at least i got to witness a piece of history. . :sly:

You're going to Barber, too? You really taking the grand tour, aren't you? Now I'm really jealous. I'm dying to get down to Barber, if just for the Museum. Can't wait to see those pictures!

Myself, I'll just have to settle for the Vintage Days at Mid-Ohio instead. The Paso will be joining me ...

ok, here's 2 teasers from barber:

Looks like it's a great trip - thanks for sharing the 'scenery' ...
