Well my day at the track started out very wet. :cry:

After the second round of bikes the track finely started to dry out. :thumb: Just have the sky open up again and dump more rain.  :mad: So the whole morning was run in the rain. Good times :thumb:

The sun came out in the after noon and things dried up, people got the heat in the tires and away we went.

My last run of the day I dumped the bike in the pits :laugh: :oops: :mad: :laugh:. I was still in gear and let go of the clutch, down I went with the bike and well anyone have some levers for a GS500. Not bad for rainy wet day.

The track was shut down when they annouced a tornado warning.
