Baller baller shot caller, what a great weekend! I have never been busier in the right seat, and I am sorry I was not able to ride with several folks who asked. Please accept a rain check.

The ice cream each afternoon was a real hoot---nice thoughtful treat from HCR!

I was incognito...





BTW can anyone see a late and illegal pass on my video? I was told afterwards of such an infraction.

First time I had you ride with me. A truly eye opening experience. Your level of instruction is way up there. Thanks!

And sorry for the ice cubes.

I heard of several uh, questionable black flags over the weekend, some that were dead wrong. I went off at trackout of 7 and didn't get a black flag from any of the 3 stations I went by on the way in. In one station the two workers weren't even looking. They seemed to be on the ball with yellows and debris flags though.

True dat. I saw a car go off between 3 and 2 into the infield and I had to honk at the T1/T2 corner station since they were looking into the bleachers

I got black flagged for making a pass without a point-by. Hard to do given that I didn't pass anyone the entire lap. Completely missed call, and I had an instructor with me to vouch for it. Also saw a pinata completely blow T11 and go off track, and the corner worker didn't even see it.
