The results (scroll down to H Stock) or here to see the raw and PAX times ... event 2 (which is points event #1)

I had a blast! And apparently one of the Z mods was there... didn't catch his name, but he saw my shirt.

Photos are up on the Camel's Myspace... and there's a video...

1) That's a sexy helmet! hehehe... ( shouldn't laugh too hard, I own the same model, just a different color )

2) That was on the Contis, right? Better tires = better times.

3) Oh look... you beat some 240sx'es after PAXing.

After watching the video, I have determined that the monkeys that build your courses are really wussy. There's not enough slaloms and stupidly sharp turns.

And officially, you need a louder exhaust. I couldn't hear the Camel's monotone revving.

Agreed, that course seems kinda LAME. Still looks like a good time though.

Those of you who commute highway... (or if you don't mind a rougher ride)

Need to inflate your tires all round to 40 PSI (if you have the stock contis) and report your mileage...

Mine just jumped to 33.0 and by how this tank is going, looks to be about the same... (that's from 27.5)

Jeff (from my dealership) says that's not unusual but that I may want to take it back down to 35-38 once I'm no longer commuting (because of the hardness of the tires and the bumps of city streets).

Geoff (from here) has already added the air in his tires...

I'll be messaging Jamie (should you not see this) so that's 3 of us... any other takers?? (I'll start a new thread should it appear necessary...)
