COTA 16 - let it begin.

[budman]

Last one.

John shows off his Bobby Fong autographed poster.
John (Tico Construction) helped barf sponsor Bobby 10 years ago.

And now that it is April 10th I have to give thanks to Mrs Budman for letting me come to COTA on our anniversary 4 years in a row. Much :love.

More tomorrow.

RACE DAY!! :banana

Heard Sat morning from a co-worker friend who rode out there that his bike was stolen from the Marriott underground garage parking. His lovely ZX-14 was stolen in the middle of the night after he changed hotels from one he thought was too shitty.

Lock your shit and hope for the best.

Side note...thanks for the pics Budman

Some guy asked me if I was the Budman. I said yes.

His barfID. Frozenuts:rofl.

We watched qualifying together.

Actually, I walked up and asked if it was wrong that I recognized him from the back of his head.

:laughing

Thanks for the good times!

 

[budman]

Yes you did Max.

Race day is here. MotoGP on track.

:banana

 

[budman]

Rossi on a fast lap. :laughing

 

[budman]

Moto3 is getting ready. Little delay because of Earl (oil) on the track.

Tidbit. If you want to buy Nicky Hayden's Drive MotoGP leathers. His last set. They are only $7,995. Deal huh ??

Brad Binder on the KTM red bull (5th) at the moment came thru the Red Bull rookies cup with Anthony Alonso. He was in the tent when I went in to hang. Met him and his Fam. Cool kid. Nice to see him working his way into the bigger series.

He currently leads the C'ship.

They just announced that this is he largest single day MotoGP attendance in US history. Seems so by the line for food and the restrooms. We eat a big brekkie and skip lunch. Seems drinking still leaves me needing a restroom at times.

In our seats, Vodka Blueberry Red Bull in hand a double of course = 20 bux ready for the big show. :thumbup

 

[budman]

I do LOVE this shit..... Sighting lap.
99 out front as he seems to always want to be.

 

[budman]

So now they say second biggest single day attendance. 57k plus.

Race was a bit of a let down thanks to the continued dominance of Marques.
He owns this place. Very few battles. More of a parade at incredible pace.

Bummer.

Moto America is back out on track now.
Hope to see Cam do well and Bobby kick all comers in the :kicknuts again.
His last lap pass on Herrin I hope to catch on the tube.

After this race off to see the MA pits and then to BBQ.

 

[budman]

Fucking BOBBY x 2!!!

Some proud team owners

Michelle and George Latus. :thumbup

Bobby rocked today. When Cameron slipped up he made it up to fourth after battling with Josh Day for the superstock lead. Here he is late in the race ahead of the champ.

 

[budman]

The battle for second was epic. Eslick passed two guys in T15 that had us going holy sh!t!!! Here is a lousy pic of them crazy lads.
