So, I went to Chuckwalla Valley Raceway to watch a track day with CoOter and Bubbles. :up:



The pit / beer cave.



My gracious hosts for the day.

Heading back out for the last run for the day.



Its was a great day at the track with Shaughn and Erinn, I can't even begin to thank them for everything they've done for me.

This picture sums up how most of the day was.




Here are some videos of the day.

Thanks for posing pics! It was awesome to host ya bro. We'd love to see you pop your cherry at the track in a few weeks but we're heading to Hawaii instead, ya I know, rough life

It's been all-baby-Ninja-all-the-time so I yanked the Buell off the tender for a good whipping.

95 laps that weekend (254 miles) and the crackhead engine in the Ol' Red Lobster did great! Stayed cool, and even the hard Roadsmart tires did ok, just a little squirmy when hot on the hairpin at the end of the straight. THAT will get the heart pumping... Needs brake upgrades badly too, pads/rotor/solid mounts for SURE. 4 laps and then you just don't know what corner they won't work on:eek-new:

Bubs managed consistent 2:14's without trying too hard and thats pretty dang good for a long big bike track on a 400!

Thats a cool video. Is that from one of the vendors there? I didnt see anyone on the track taking video.

It was easy to spot you on the track on the lobster, also the Buell sounds so much different than anything else out there. Thats right, that is the crackhead motor.

Aloha you Haole!

Ya, Robert from Caliphoto that is always there, we call him The Lorax and he's super fun.

I always forget how crazy fast the 1125 CR's accelerate. That massive rear sprocket sure does its job on a shorter track:applause:
