Well that was my first crack day with the 10...could have been worse..
up at 6.30, my buddy ('06 R 1)shows up 1 hr late...loading the bikes, hitting north...and I almost dumped the 10 on the 5 fwy(not tight enough and 1 strap bailed out...).we finally arrive at Willow@11.30, missing all (the relatively cool)morning sessions.
That desert heat was a killer: 110 in the pits area around 2 pm and someone had a infared temp reader, the ground outside the hartman garage was 139 f.
I did only 2 sessions, probably 12 laps total and on the 2nd one was a couple of mn from a heat stroke (new leathers don't help..).
Track was in poor condition: due to last week/end heavy rains, dust remaining in turns 2,5 and 9....
Bike was running good, running Supercorsas SC1 front and rear and pulling 16x40.
Overall, smoothly run by MTC, thanks for the water and Gatorade on da house
I'll post some pix manana.
Next day @the track: Fontucky this sat. 29th
