We had one rider go down in T9, he jumped right up, and his bike fared pretty well. Weather looks good for tomorrow as well, hope you guys can make it out! Maurice |

| Training Wheels Joined: May 2007 From: Portland I Ride: | 2006 Ducati 749S (Street) | 2004 Suzuki SV650S (race) | 2005 Yamaha R6 (race) | | We didn't end the ToR after the crash, it was before the midway point so we gridded everyone back up in the hot pit, and let blinky get the rider and bike. Once the track was cleared, we went back out for about another 10 minutes. We really dont want to cut it short if we can help it, and in this case, the rider was up and ok before the flag was waved, and it only took maybe 5 minutes to clear the track. Great time today, hope some of you can make it for tomorrow! Oh, and heal up Destin! |

| (Oregon) City   Joined: May 2007 From: Keizer,Ore I Ride: 08 GSXR 1K | Just wanted to say TOR was AWESOME!!! Was my first one and boy did I feel slow...Oh wait I am slow! LOL Seriously was a lot of fun! Definitely need to do another one soon. Had new tires so I was being extra careful but was having fun by the fourth lap. Unfortunately that was the last lap. But am glad to say that no more chicken strips on my new tires! Goal for next time....knee pucks broken in! |
