I'll be there with the Ducati Sport Classic and my brother is bringing the SuperChicken. Who else is coming?

Looks like hot and sunny. Well, not too hot by this year's standards....

It's a Racer 5 day so guaranteed to be well run.
 
I am planning on being there with a couple others

You may want to check on the evening session if it's a go. Cindy said Sunday that they may cancel it due to low attendance. FYI.
 
It was a good day yesterday until the rain came. Only 3 riders went down and all were OK. I think rain contributed to the last one. No red flags or delays.
 
Yep. Not too many bikes so lots of clear track. Too bad about the rain but I still got in four sessions before it started. Some days there are so many delays that even if the weather is perfect you are lucky to see five or six sessions. Thanks Racer 5 for doing a good job as usual.

I was there until around 3:30 and only saw 2 crashes: the yellow drz in the red group, and the yellowz zx6r in the green group. Who crashed after?
 
It was overall a good day. Fawaz at RACER5 runs a good track day and numbers were good. Thanks to JERVFR03 for all your help.
 
I had fun, as always, while it lasted. Almost highsided through Turn 1 during my first session but had a great final session before lunch. Thanks to everyone involved/in attendance.

^ Nothing eventful happens in the video but a good pace from 9:30 and on.

Earlier on in the morning, someone went down on a black bike in the green group. I think it was the guy that rode his bike to the track. He went down at turn 2 and stood just off the track waiting for the truck while we finished out the session.

Oh that wasn't a crash, the black 636 stopped running because of a spark plug issue
 
No worries
glad you enjoyed the day and kept the shiny side up !

Strangest thing I ever saw - his spark plug snapped off at the threads

Impressive as always!

I have a question about the line through turns 2 and 3. Is that truly just one turn for you the way you do it, or are you straightening up a bit coming out of 2 and then leaning it back in for 3? It looks to me like the former but I want to be sure. Trying to learn from the master!

The line through 9 (long, slow right hander at the flag station) is also a mystery to me, so any advice is appreciated.
