Thunderbolt : July 26th, 27th

So we headed down to Millville, NJ again for 2 trackdays on Thunderbolt with Absolute.

July 26th, 2009
The first day, we were accompanied by many members of SuspectsUnlimited, as well as some SVRiders and as always some DESMOites. Met some more new people, which is always the case at a trackday! Lots of good people to be found!

These photos were taken by fellow DESMOites. Big thanks to Irene and Martin!!!

Here's one of Terry:

the others of me:





Had an awesome time, even in the hot, sticky, yucky heat... BUT at least it didn't rain as predicted the whole week prior. These two trackdays, I set out to work on passing, and feeling comfortable anywhere on the track, so it was more about playing and having fun, and less about staying "on the line". I felt very comfortable, most everywhere but tired easy!

Looked like it was going to be a wet one, but once again the weather gods were good to us!! The only rain we saw was at lunch time. The track was dry by the time the first group was called to go out! The track was almost empty compared to the previous day, and there was a nice breeze which made the day much more comfortable. Too bad we were both already exhausted from the day before.
