The Rock in August. Can't ya just feel the heat? It was
fantastic weekend though, heat and all. Just one week after the National and

Had to even remind myself that it was a damn TT! Had to remember to brake more
in two and downshift. And ever since my crash in the infield a couple of months
ago, I am still nervous in that damn right hander!
First race was the heat for 40+ and I did not do that well.
Like I said, head was not in it. After that race I went back in the pits and had
a sit down chat with myself and said that if
See ya there! Thanks for reading!
