Look at my signature, I'm pretty sure it was them. Only noticed at the end of the day
Yellow duc I was behind you on the first session and was waiting to pass you on the straight to not spook you but then Tayler "stock it to you" on the corner so I said oh well corner it is

For the record I was 100% comfortable with all of the passing - on the straights, in the corners, it was all fine. Fun even. Gives me a chance to follow someone faster and learn some lines, at least for the 12 s or so until they disappear over the horizon...
Great time out yesterday
Pitted next to Curtis and Dylan from SOAR, and gave me some inspiration for signing up for SOAR. Nice to meet you guys!
Small high side in yellow group in the afternoon, but Thomas walked away un harmed.
Can't wait to get back from Peru to get more seat time!
Some good riders out yesterday. All in all, SOAR runs a great track day! I was expecting a hick up or too, but everything went very smooth.

Nice work at SMP today, Tim!
Thanks!! With more time I could have made some set up changes, but I will for CSBK.
BRAAAAP!!!!
My daughter was taking some pictures,,PM me or bickleracing@sympatico.ca is best with your number and we'll see what she got.
Probably one of the best weekends I've ever seen at Grand Bend,,Sunday was the best day!
Yep good job especially for just showing up, there were some seriously fast guys out there this weekend. I hope I'll be there for the CSBK round, I'll be looking for ya because I may be all alone and lonely.
Do you have any feedback on the new pavement? Anything exciting to watch out for (I haven't been there since Sept 2012)?
Agreed. Lanni, who I have usually been faster than at SMP, was railing pretty good this weekend. Between a few small bike tweaks and some larger mental tweaks I know I could drop about two seconds on Pro Track.
Honestly it's pretty good! I can only comment on the new Pro Track pavement which is Turn 1, hairpin and 1st half of the chicane but it's good. There is a small drop at the transition into turn 1 but it is early enough that it doesn't really affect anything. Nothing to look out for.
Sounds good, thanks.
Here are some laps from red group first session after lunch on Saturday. Unfortunately it ends with my oil cooler failing...
If you were out there you almost certainly passed me at some point in this video.
Who is the character who wheelies past me at 0:43?

Before anyone else says it...yes I realize that I should have exited the track *much* sooner when I realized I had a leak. It is just dumb luck that the leak wasn't bad enough to put any significant amount of oil on the track. I guess I spent those 10 s or so trying to figure out if I should try to get back to the pits or not, but obviously in retrospect that was pretty stupid to even consider. I apologize.

I now know that you knew but I didn't know that you knew at the time. Now I know you were knowingly pulling off the track, had I known then what I now know I wouldn't have signaled you off like that. Not knowing what I now know I thought you might have kept going.
Also, I like that bike.

Thanks. I am glad that I now know that you didn't know that I knew.
Seriously, thanks for taking it upon yourself to try to communicate it to me at the time.

I think 4B and 6A on long track will still give you pause.
The exit of 4 is still that awesome torn up crap and braking into 6 is riddled with grass filled cracks?
As far as I am aware. Of course didn't run those corners this weekend.
