But on two wheels, bro!
I spent today and Friday at Grattan Raceway with my dad and two of my coworkers. It's an awesome track, two miles long with a half-mile straightaway and crazy technical back loop. We had a great time, more pictures to come once the track photographers post action shots!*
*Unless my form looks really really bad, it was my first time at this track and first time on any track in over a year. If so, I'll just have to go back to work on it and get better ones :)
Dad's new FZ09 next to his old FZ6 (my current bike)
Me on the starting grid, pleased with myself for not crashing and also pleasantly surprised that I somehow dropped 2 sizes in leather suits.

Damn, there is a huge contingent of Oppos from W. Michigan. Do you guys get together? Grattan. Remember it well. Used to go there to drag race and my return lane was the rest of the track. Caught hell a few times but they could not afford to kick a paying customer out back then.

Sounds like a fun day! I can't wait for the action shots.

CrzRsn and I live out east in metro Detroit, and we've met up with at least one oppo before, and were obliviously parked next to another for an entire autocrosss without realizing.
And Grattan is amazing on a motorcycle, I foresee giving them a lot more of my money in the near future.

Oh boy.... they're up. Got some good ones by the end of the day when I had my sea legs, but the morning shots... not pretty!
