Awesome three days of riding behind me, over 1100 miles on the truck, over 500 MILES :shocked: on the bike, and a thousand sore muscles but I'm finally back home! Corner working for the California Superbike School on sunday and monday was a blast, dicing it up with some other cornerworkers, riding with Keith Code himself, couple of the instructors trying to keep up with me at lunch, and even Will "the thrill" Eikenberry showing me how it's done on my favorite track makes for a great two days! A long azz drive found me at my new favorite track (OK, it's tied with Streets), Thunder hill! It took 7 hours form willow to get to willows, CA the home of T-hill. The scenery is awesome, the track is awesome, the people who run the track are awesome...I cann't wait to make the 9 hour drive back to ride it again! here's a couple pics I took of the journey, will begin working on the hours of vid I shot at T-hill this week...time to sleep!

Dizzam...I didn't know you were going to T-Hill...I have been wanting to put a trip together for up there big time. Nice pics mang.
Who wants to hit a trackday there with me in the next few months?

cool... what lap times are you doing at button?
i'm most likely doing button again with AFM in september. Infineon and Thunderhill are iffy... a couple of AFMers died at Infineon 2 years in a row (last year & the year before) and another freaky thing is they were on the same team. I really want to ride Infineon because it looks so fun, but with the walls where they are it's not really the safest... especially with 70+ bikes!
How about CCS?!

I was running 2:02's on some shagged tires. I would like to race up there also but I think trackdays are more fun than races with 70+ people, especially at tracks that I haven't been to before!
