Damn...had to work from 3am till 6pm...otherwise I was planning on going. That would have been nice to actually get some runs in rather than sitting in line waiting for the bikes and ricers to go...not to mention spreading oil all over the track. Did you hear about the VW bug that wrecked last week?
