Yup, fo sho... I respond according to what I see and how the rider reacts/responds, not simply what rule gets broken.


Hell, I had one student who COMPLETELY EFFED UP our pit-out procedures as we were going out for some 1-on-1 time and it VERY EASILY could have resulted in a MAJOR incident. Luckily no one was coming, so there was no harm, no foul... I very well should have pulled her in right away, but at the same time I knew that SHE knew right away what she did wrong, so there was no sense in wasting time telling her and I also wanted to see how she would respond to and recover from the situation.

And she did alright... She blended out onto the track as safely as possible, given where she was on the track, settled down and we spent the rest of the session riding around. Then after the session we talked about everything, from her completely blown pit-out procedure to her riding technique. It turned a ginormous fuck-up into a positive experience.

I've been pretty stressed with our 2010 schedule trying to map out our routs and line up hotels or places to stay.
I'm not going to write down each date but my son and I are planning on running the West coast USGPRU rounds with maybe a NJMP and/or Jenning East coast round. PLUS he is also on an endurance team so he will be running all/most of CMRA rounds. And with Elite Trackdays and Harris Hill Road as his sponsors he will be doing most of the Elite Trackdays. Oh, I'm not done yet... IF we get a KX65 he will be running the TMGP races too. I doubt we have a free weekend from March to September.

Wow, THAT is a full schedule.

Keep us updated as much as your free time allows!

Good luck this year.

Yeah I haven't thought about it either. Other riders on my team probably wouldn't all go because they're afraid of real bikes (except the butcher), so I could prolly head down and bring another person or two and their bike/shit.

Although before racing season starts I have some more shit to worry about (hmmm yeah I still need to rebuild that motard lol)
