weather was awful, everyone is complaining. 12:30 pm and the sun is coming out in Portland.

TT crashed in T2 in practice, he's ok, hi -sided and lo sided at the same time. Bike is back in working order. Casper smoked two cigars last night, Paula is hanging out.

Branson and Champ are chatting it up. Champ has a new in crate MT 125 that he brought to the track

Raining this am, I am going back tomorrow morning for races. Photos of the mosh pit later. Bring more wood for tonite.

Evil,
How did you make out on the 500...saw you firing it up and heading out as we were getting ready to leave.
Did you take the MT out?

I give the prize for race of the meet to Aaron Phinney...very impressive in the rain. Came from a good distance back to lead the race....then crash, then finish third (and moving up...with no hand grip).
I woulda crashed for sure trying to hang with the guys in front.

Had a good time. Would have liked to race but it was nice not to crash. And...like Clint says.... "A man has got to know his limitations" and I know mine in the rain.

As usually it was worth the trip just to hang out. And...like Jeff told me...for the first time ever I'm ready for the next race ahead of time.
I mowed my lawn today....about three acres of it anyway.

Going to have a quarter fairing installed for the next race so no one will be able to later me at the end of the front straight.

And guys hold there beer that way cause when you are hanging out drinking with a bunch of people the two most important things in the world are your dick and your beer...so you keep them close together. If someone tries to steal my beer they are going to be close to my dick...I'm pretty likely to notice that.

If it rains for the next event I'm going to set myself on fire and run through the pits till I die.

Mary crashed in T2 on the first lap.

She'll be back for revenge in June.

George and Friends also had two Honda Sloper 175 based machines there....one of which I built. Hiroshi (the young one) took second on that machine. Would have been third if Aaron didn't crash.
