Replaced my battery and the bike still won't start. I'm anticipating a hefty bill to fix it so I won't be able to ride with y'all. I would need new tires on top of whatever is wrong with the bike for it to be track-worthy. I might make a trip and skip school for the weekend to see everybody. Chris, don't buy any food for me, if I do go I'll get that figured out.

I can't make this trip either. They raised fees for school this semester and I can't take out more loans. They did the same thing last year. You take out loans for the entire year in the fall, then raise fees in the spring :/
Plus my bike is in the shop for who knows how long. |

that's like me cutting back on red bull
I saved $560 in november and have saved thousands since as a direct result of drinking less red bull and more water

Needing $$$ to get to the track is a hell of a motivating factor for me
the withdrawl symptoms lasted a week, that is to say a week of straight headaches. This from a guy who sold the local rite aid, 7-11, and royal farms gas station out of red bull at the same time (opening week of the restaurant I work at I worked for a little over 110 hours in one week so I had a lot of red bull that week)

Take a few random laps from your video and mark the lap times but don't dwell on them so much, just make a note. Now... close your eyes and replay a lap in your head. Use a stopwatch if you need. Compare the times, memory vs. video. How far are they off? Which way + or -? If they are 30sec's + off, let's work on some visual skills and markers. Also, lemme know which bike(s) you're bringing when you know for sure. I will change up as needed based on the bike your riding, but honestly... I don't see it working out much different. If you're bringing a 600, Jennings will somewhat feel like a new track for a session or two as you get your wits about you. For example; turn 2 feels much different on something with near 100hp. ![]() ![]()
