Who's coming? It's supposed to be a nice day. :)

I'm riding Thursday, marshalling for SOAR on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Last time I rode GB I crashed, so I'm admittedly a bit nervous about riding there again. That said, if anyone takes pity on a woman riding a silver/black 600RR and doesn't mind towing her around for a bit to show her the lines, please offer. :)

You're all fast riders. Maybe one of you would like to join a slow session to show me around? :)

I'm sure that could be arranged, ask Fawaz and he can likely arrange for one of us to go out with you. I believe the track config will be reverse Screaming Alien which none of us have ridden before so everyone will be learning the track.

That would be awesome! Fawaz is a great guy, so I can't see him having a problem with it. I'll ask him.

I'm pretty sure I know who you are now, too. I think I chatted with you outside the bathrooms last September for like, an hour. And are you the guy I passed that knee puck to the other weekend? The one the BMW rider lost in the short straight?

Reverse? Wow! With the speed coming out of the reverse carousel the speed at the end of the straight will be way higher. Nice straight runoff though, like Fabi 1. Now I wish I was going this week instead of next week!
 
could probably ask them to run it next week too if you wanted
 
I'm ****** off. Woke up Wednesday with an awful toothache. Couldn't get in to see my dentist and decided to tough it out and go to the track anyway. Well then our RV died. So my bf went up alone and I stayed down here with what turned out to be an infection in my jaw.

Ugh! Ok, enough pity party.

I hear some of the slower riders got out with the fast riders yesterday to be shown some lines. I hope everyone who went had a great time! Fingers crossed the weather stays dry and sunny for you the rest of the weekend.

Just wondering if anybody got pictures

I'm the second this! There must be pictures from Endurance... In the right-hand double apex turn I saw a cameraman (or was it camerachick?): one lap I saw him/her, the next lap I was prepared and did smile :)

So how was the reverse Screaming Alien?

Very strange at first but I ended up really liking it. When approaching the left kink by the washrooms stay at least 5' from the right side of the track otherwise its really bumpy on the brakes.

It's a fun layout!
