Yahoo!

It was sooooo cool to get to pit with the big boys!

It was great meeting you guys! I thought that I'd just park it by Rob's kick-ass sweet truck....but y'all made a space for me...

A couple of sessions and the street tires develop some character...Good for when guys check out my bike at gas stops.....Makes 'em wonder what this girl has been up to....

Time to put the mirrors back on and pull the tape for the ride home...Seattle traffic was gridlock, and with an M's game at Safeco, it took me forever to get to the ferry.

Awsome day with 2Fast....Can't wait to go back!!!!!

Other than that it was a blast.

Did they bump the 200 class and then, put you all on track with us in the 100 class at the end of the day? I didn't hear about what was going on but, that last session was pretty hectic with 2x the people on the track. It was still lots of fun but, the passing 'rules' for both classes were a little bit different. I think that may have been what created the freight train situation.

Me too! I'm feeling a mysterious illness coming on for Wed Aug 12th and Mon Sept 7th. I may just be far too sick to show up for work those days. Runny nose, watery eyes, itchy shifter toe...

I think so.....Pretty funny for newb me....My little '04 Triumph, pushin' 435 lbs, at 100hp if I'm lucky....I was feeling parked on the straight.

"Scuse me...pardon me....sorry bout that....

Was yours the blue zx with the classroom peeps? If so, it's an eye catcher.

yeah the last session where 300 and 200 were lumped together was kinda

I pulled up and see all these bikes lined up

good times though. event went great as usual and there seemed to be a below average amount of crashes so I didn't notice too many delays.

Lots of ladies out there yesterday and most of them were damn fast. One gal in 300 with us could brake into T3 later than just about anyone out there. first time I saw that was

thats the track "do not" equivalent of smoking a cig while your pumping gas. whatever tire you have I'd talk to that vendor.

What a perfect day with great weather!

So fun! See everyone at the Seattle100!

I went and got in line to go out right about in the middle waited for about 5 minutes, looked behind me at about 30 riders and thought, you know its been a good day so far maybe its a good time to call it a day. Being lumped first in with the 300 level riders for one session then come in and be lumped in with the 100 riders is like being a red headed step child. But it was still a great day.. lots of fun and some pretty fast ladys in the 200 level too, one an a really nice white MV agusta. Nice bike!

Shaggy · 07-09-2009, 10:41 AM

It was a blast! Nice to have met you all! Bumping the 200's Kinda Sucked other than that I had a great time!

The blue zx was me but, I didn't do the class. I think I rode a fair few laps with you? I just wanted to go out and have fun on my first trip to the track. I was hoping that I wasn't getting in anyones way and I didn't want to get too aggressive with passing. That front straight was a blast though. It was the only place that I really felt comfortable getting around anyone if I wanted to try it.

Yeah, that gal on the MV Agusta 1000 went flying around me on the outside on one turn and I tried to keep up on the back straight but, she was dispatching the traffic like a surgeon.

I rode my 999S all day and that MV was a little faster in a straight line but she would always let off a little before turn 1 so I passed her a couple times there, there was a girl on a blue R-6 that was pretty good also. I don't remember seeing your blue zx10. Probably because there wasn't a girl on it

Was I sitting next to you at the time? I remember someone looked back and mentioned the # of riders and then I looked back and saw

Ya, I think that might have been me, I was going to ride the R-1 for the last 2 sessions of the day. I looked back and thougt it might just be a good time to call it a day and pulled out, loaded up and went home. Was a great day other than that

Nah, ya didn't see me because,,,,, I'm invisible

(I was in the 100 class all day and only mixed with the 200 at the last session)

stevieb · 07-09-2009, 05:46 PM

Glad everybody had a good time with minimal complaints and it was good to meet you DatKat and others which I forgot the names of already

As for the minor session complaints, it is unfortunate some of the 200 group lost a little session time, but I'm sure everyone got a good amount of riding time in for the day.
2-Fast was one of two groups selected by WMRRA to run the NRS school and this is offered twice a year by 2-Fast, so the slight changes made are certainly NOT a normal occurrence. Please keep that in mind and join us for the next event!!!!!

Sign up now for the 2-Fast S-100 too...or you'll be left out of the fun!!

InvisibleMan · 07-09-2009, 06:05 PM

Did anyone else see the little raccoon in the middle of the track when the 100 session was going on? We got red flagged so someone could grab the little rodent and carry it off to the woods. That was kind of amusing. When I rode by it the first time, the thing was waving it's front paws around like it was cheering us all on? It looked pretty freaked out though with all the bikes zipping past em.

jkester92 · 07-09-2009, 06:36 PM

The pictures are up already from Studio 819, that was fast.. Great pictures!!!! Thanks Brandon

Image from Brandon's Facebook account... of me with the raccoon.

I think there is a second image where he MIGHT be covering his eyes, but I won't know for sure until Brandon unlocks the gallery so I can see the full size image.

Racoon Wrangling - Another requirement in order to be on the 2-Fast staff.

Last thing I expected to see when I walked up to the fence to watch the session was 2-Fast staff chasing a racoon around lol. Nice grab JC.
