How bout you?

I race, but i'm almost never on here. This is my fourth year of competitive racing. I compete in the Loudon Road Racing Series. Just did my first ASRA race as well.

The MSF classes are ok, better then the way I learne. But they could be alot better. I really don't think they are teach you much. When you are in a park lot, all things are easy to do .

The Total Control class may be more up your ally, or maybe even a track day, one that's oriented more towards street riders than racers (...

Wow... one of the best threads on the forum & it didn't get a single reply before now... FOR SHAME!


Timmy, congrats on what I assume was a spectacular season for you. I hope the rest of the season went as well as the beginning.

BTW, those are some awesome action pics!
