CMP is less than 8 days away. Bodywork is almost spent the last 3 days sanding, and laying fiberglass on my bodywork.
I'm suppose to start moving into my new place today.
Time is running out.

Its official
I'm done signing up for my races. At the CCS CMP race weekend I will be doing 15 races. 8 races on Saturday and 7 races on Sunday. I'm trying to win as much Michelin $$ as possible so I can register for my future races.
I started fixing my bodywork last night, today I'll have to sand it down and figure out what I plan to do for paint. Either paint it white or go with a hot pink color.
13 days left for CMP :)

What a crazy weekend
Hopefully during race weekend I can be a little bit more organized and have everything ready ahead of time. My goal for the CMP Track day weekend was to be in the 1:39s.
Friday I wanted to leave around 7pm but didn't get to leave until around 830ish. I got to CMP around 3:45am and unloaded the canopy, bike and tried to get a few hours of sleep.
Saturday came around turned the bike on, set the tire pressures on the new Michelins and met up with Drew. Riders meeting at 9am, on the track at 9:20.
3/20/10 1st session I was getting used to the tires, they felt weird at first, lap times were under 1:50's.
3/20/10 2nd session the pace was picked up, got down into the 44-45's and kept on running wide or overshooting turn 1. Bike did not want to stop so I decided to switch brake pads and run the new Ferodo pads.
3/20/10 3rd session I go out take it easy a few laps then I wreck and destroy my brand new bodywork. Bike did not want to stop for Turn 11. I'm on the brakes then I feel the front getting ready to wash out, so I let off the brakes to stand the bike back up....now I'm getting ready to run off into the grass, then I see a huge dip in the grass so I hit the front brakes to slow down. Picked bike back up went to the pits fixed it in about 5 minutes and went back out that same session and got my times down into the 43's.
3/20/10 Last session Drew and I hooked up with a WERA rider and chased him down on his 1000. Times were still in the 43's.
3/21/10 I felt a lot better, went out 1st session and was running 44's, 2nd session a few rain drops started to fall, Drew took off on the warm up lap to play with a Kawi, I was playing catchup for about 7 laps and got my times down into the 40's.
Michelins awesome tires, they wear out very slowly. My suspension needs to be adjusted, I need to fix my bodywork, I need to check all my bolts. Besides that I am ready for the CCS CMP race weekend. I've signed up for 11 races so far. Still debating if I want to race the unlimited races.
Worked on my website some, added videos.

Racing season is almost here
The days are approaching faster and faster with less than 30 days left until the 1st CCS Race weekend. Time is running out, so much to do so little time. I have signed up to do 2 track days on March 20th/21st so I can get more practice in before the actual race weekend. I will try to break into the 30's during the CMP trackday.
For the 1st race weekend since they are twin sprints I have decided to sign up for 15 races and a 2 hr ASRA endurance race. I am going after the Michelin tire $ and if all goes well I can make over 2G's that weekend.
Ordered:
Michelin Power Ones
Ferodo Xracs
Stomp Grips
