Awesome man! How did you get photos though? Do they have cameras set up or did you have a friend shoot them? Either way they're good photos. :cheers:

Pantablo man, your getting too good at that. When are you going racing racing...you know, AMA or something. Every time you post new track-day pics you look like you're farther over than the last time. We'll all cheer for ya. Love the little 500 twin, this forum, and CBR 600s look scary fast.

Are those new Pilot Powers you're running?  or a Pilot Race version?

If so, how do you like them?

Nice pics!!

Thanks guys.

Yes, new Pilot Powers spooned on days before this event. GREAT F'ing tires. Warmed up quickly and stuck like glue. I will not run anything else now. The pirelli diablos before these were really good but these are far better. not pilot race tires! those are STREET tires.

No racing in my future-too expensive. I'll just keep doing trackdays to get my fix.

There was a professional photographer there. you can see his other pics at palomarpics.net . for those that dont know palomar mtn its a favorite motorcycle road in north san diego county (I think) and kent, the photographer, is there regularly taking shots.

now I gotta factor in the cost of replacement knee pucks as I was getting my knee down everywhere...

I am an addict.
