Heading out now for Millville, NJ. It's gonna be a great weekend of racing this year. Richie is bringing his laptop so I may be able to post some pictures and or video during the course of the weekend. Talk to you guys soon!

GO JOSH!!!!!
 
Thanks guys. I'm having a ball here with Richie. The room we got is totally awesome and when I got to the track the guy at the "Will Call" window gave me VIP Parking for all three days for FREE!!! He said and I quote, "Merry Christmas" With that said, my entire weekend here including Richie, cost me a grand total of $65 Bucks!!! How the heck can you beat that. With that and the awesome room, the whole package cost me less than $360.00 Dollars for the 3 days. I'm happy as a pig in slop! I'm working from a laptop so as soon as I can I will upload some awesome video and pictures from today so far. We are going back to the track for qualifying now. TaTa!!:Rockon:

Now THAT is too cool!
 
Okay, back at the room. Josh Hayes.....incredibly FAST!!! as was Danny Eslick and PJ Jacobsen. The battle for the championship is gonna be super exciting between Blake and Josh. This is my third straight year and the speed that Danny Eslick brings into the back stretch is still mind boggling to me. His 600 goes through that section looking like one of the superbikes! Tomorrow is going to be insane. It was also cool that me and Rich were four feet away from Eraldo Ferracci himself while he was working on PJ's Ducati. Talk about "hands on"! At his age he's still tapping away on the friggin computer! He's the man! Pictures to follow.
 
Okay, some shots from today. These are not from my Canon so bear with me. Tomorrow I'll be using the better camera.

Okay, now that I'm back from Jersey, and got a little rest, it's time to post up my pics and videos for anyone interested. It was a wild weekend, right down to the very last lap of the very last race. I was exhausted after the Superbike Race on Sunday. You couldn't ask for better racing. I already can't wait until next year! So here's the pics in order of the weekend. I'll just post them with no comments as there are many pictures.

I had a great weekend along with Richie. We actually met Peter1968 and his wife, who is a member here from PA, hung out with Brian (Blavenia) from the forum as well, his wife Michele, his friend Evan, and Ray (CanonFuji). Brian was gracious enough to let me use his Retro GenII for the Parade Lap on Sunday which was totally awesome. Thanks Brian! We actually met a bunch of FZ1 guys there during the course of the weekend, most of which aren't on the forum, but they are out there, trust me.

It was awesome seeing you and Richie again, Billy! I had a great time as well, and so did Michelle. This has definitely become our Labor Day Weekend plans for years to come.

Hopefully next year we can get Dave (Earlzach) out there, too.

Next year you have to teach me how to outbrake the Can Am Spyder on turn 6! Thanks for the pics with Scott Russell.

Congrats to Josh Hayes on another #1 plate.

Here's the link to the FZ1 laps around following Michelle. Hopefully this will bring back fond memories of being on the bike on the track.

Thanks Brian, the pleasure was all ours this past weekend. Richie and I had the best time there with you guys. I love the video. Michele is doing awesome on the Ninja! I love your "line" through the "Carousel" on the last lap. I think I'll use that one if I'm ever doing a trackday there. I watched the Superbike Race on TV when I got home and I'm pissed I didn't make it on during Russell and Sheheen's commentary in the pits. I'll have to try harder next year!
