Every year is Sacramento's last year.
It's been that way for at least the last 5 years.

Was great getting out there and hanging out with everyone again. Seems like it's been so long. There were so many cars and plenty of bikes. Probably more than a dozen. Only got 2 practice runs then got eliminated in the first round. Raced a CBR1000RR it's was a really close race too beat me by 0.1971sec!
So my 28 or 29sec Sur Ron is now a 19 or 20sec Sur Ron! The first run was SUPER rare there was a tailwind! I was able to run a 19.197! The next 2 runs that headwind was back and it bumped me down to 20.8. So that tailwind messed me up because the times were different so I didn't know what to dial so I split the difference and went with 20.0sec. Then what do you know I ran a 20.8 in the race, had I had one more practice run and got that 20.8 I would have said ok we're dialed in and went with a 20.8 or 20.7.
Was a lotta fun though Kinda strange having to the wear the masks and all but pretty much the same.
Some pictures from that night
Probably my fastest pass ever on this bike. There is still some room for improvement, some programming and maybe a sprocket change will help.
Rare opportunity to get a shot right before the strip. A vehicle puked fluid all over the track so we had to wait for them to mop it up. There was a lot of waiting for broken vehicles also =/
Check out Eric's new ride
Eliminated by this guy
That last race I watched and bounced.

This news breaks my heart.
Those characters are part of the Wednesday night landscape.
Good guys, both of them.

I was not there last Wednesday, but I heard the news, so sad. The Wednesday before, Bill was on the phone with her while he was at the track and said they wanted her to spend the night and do a stress test in the morning. We all wished her well and then this. I feel for Bill and his family. Great people.
