After Miller - by Dave
What an amazing track, and what a great experience! Team Bioweapon did great. Dave Brown took 2 third places. David Ur took 3 first places. And I ended up with 2 thirds, 1 second, and one first. I was way down on power, and probably could have done better, but overall, I'm happy.

Huge thanks to Bioweapon and David Ur for getting us out there.

I have one video posted up so far, more to come. Right now, we are preparing for Road Atl, and then after that, it's off to Roebling, then Little Tally. It's going to be very busy for the next few weeks.

Miller - by Dave
I have Miller figured out - it's a puppy. Now I just have to figure out what it would be like to ride around a puppy...

Miller Motorsports Park - by Dave
We arrived at Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, Utah, today. It's a really nice place (perhaps nicer than Barber, if you ignore the artwork).

When the team arrived yesterday, they found that some of the bikes had fallen over. Mine tipped against the trailer wall. The left foot peg bracket is bent a little, and the tail section and left clip-on are a bit scuffed. Overall, it's not too bad for my stuff. Some of the other bikes didn't fare quite as well, but all are rideable. We are still working out the gremlins from some of the bikes.

I got my bike checked out, fixed a few issues, and took the wheels to the Dunlop vendors to have new race tires put on. They were quick, friendly, and very helpful! Gotta love those Dunlop guys.

Then I had the opportunity to ride the last 2 sessions of the day. What an amazing track. This is the 3 mile outer course, with 23 turns. Crazy fast, lots of technical stuff. I'm still struggling to find reference points. My fastest lap time was 2:15. If I can knock off 5-8 seconds come race time, I'll be thrilled. I think it should be do-able.

Hopefully the weather will improve and tomorrow will be dry. I feel sorry for the Endurance racers who came all this way to race tomorrow...it's not looking good.
