I'm driving up the day before and getting a hotel room. My wife will be racing the Mustang and unless I can get someone to tote the bike down there in a pick-up,, I'll be racing my bike. I'm dreading the ride, 3 or more hours on a R1 is going to hurt.

Aww come on, you can handle the ride, it ain't that bad. Bosnian may (doubt it, probably gonna puss out ) be riding his ZX-6R down to the track too.

If he brings his bike down, I have a feeling that he is gonna wanna throw it in the back of my truck. He'll probably puss out though. This is all if I get my **** together. Ive still got a fark-ton of **** to do to get the truck, trailer, and car ready for Sunday.

I'll handle it,,,, just won't like it. I must be getting quite decrepit in my old age or they are making bike alot more uncomfortable now, I think it's a bit of both.

Well, I ain't gonna be driving my car to the shootout anymore I'll ride your bike down there for you if you want, being serious. I'll take it from ya downtown ATL or anywhere else really.

Bo, same for Alan, if he wants to, I'll ride the ZX-6R for him down there. Its been a while since I last rode that bike.

We are having a coolant issue with his car. Swapped the head gaskets and it seemed to tone down the problem for the most part. gonna have to pressurize the system to track the problem down.

not to mention....he has a "hearing" problem. (but i wont disclose that info lol)

hahaha
I'm just un-aware of my own strength

I snapped the bolt that holds the plug/metal coolant line on the heads (about 3seconds after Jason told me to not do it so it won't snap in the head ) Pulling it out won't be an issue, but I was f*n pissed off that it hapenned. And we still gotta continue troubleshooting the cooling issue anyways, probably wouldn't have been able to drive/run @ SDR anyways...
