This year's VIR race weekend was a smashing success. This is clearly the best racing weekend of the year for me.
Trip Highlights:
- Spending time with Ricky, Uncle Mike, and Ché talking about nothing but bikes.
- Seeing Jake Zemke and Greg White in the Texas steakhouse Saturday night.
- Watching Roger Lee Hayden recover from a huge headshake as he rode through the grass during the Superstock race.
- Watching the entire Superbike file get pw3nd by Mat Mladin.
- Riding the VIR track
- Eating lunch on Sunday with Uncle Mike and Ché with the band playing so loud under the tent that we couldn't even talk to each other.
- Watching early morning bad weather turn into a gorgeous afternoon on both days.
- Checking out all the bikes and what guys have done to them. Of particular note was the Jamie James R1. Very sweet, but it should be @$38,500. Major eye candy.
- Wathing the new on-track video monitors in order to check out the race on the rest of the track.
- Talking with the Attach Performance tech about the 2004-2005 R1 rearsets.
- Seeing a set of Termignoni cans for the 2004 R1.
- Watching Mat Mladin pass Ben Spies right in front of us all weekend.

I'm just glad you made it back safely!! One down one to go.
Work reared it's ugly head this year and I was unable to attend this race. Next year will be different! Glad you had a great time. Will Ricky ever see a race on Sunday?
