I did not preregister but I will be there. See you there!

I was a little late myself......not sure I'm gonna make the first wave cut lol

This will force me to practice passing. With a little luck I hope this to be my last weekend as an amateur. We shall see. PS do you happen to have a spare helmet? My manufacturer date must have rubbed off and they gave me shit for it at Summit. I won't wear it I just need a helmet with a date on it so I can get through tech inspection.

Sure, I bring 2 of everything (except a bike lol) now. Although it does have my race number on it, although I'm not sure if they pay any attention to that at tech. We'll be in G110 as usual.

Fun times as always Ian......although not one of my better performances. Had fun trying to chase you and Melvin in that one race

Had a blast racing with you Kaz. Happy to end the season on a good note. No crashes in 2013! I found some confidence and some speed which is always good.

SPL170db · 09-09-2013, 10:15 PM

You definitely picked up some consistent pace from the last time I was there for CCS back in May....and Bob, JEEZ, he had a rocket up his ass. I on the other hand.....lol.

I haven't but the guy that I was sharing the garage with was someone we know who was down from Loudon. He has running the 212's all weekend. He seemed pleased with them. He said he bought like 40 sets at the start of the season.

The front 212's are weird looking, the sidewall in particular. They don't come back in at all, they just drop straight down. Where a 211 the rim kind of pinches the sidewalls back in a bit, the 212 almost looks like it just comes straight down. I didn't recognize them at first, they look like they have alot of siping on them and I'm like "why is this expert running street/sport tires???"
