| Buttonwillow anyone? WERA West at Buttonwillow, CA. This will be my first weekend back on the track in a year so I'm going to take it slow and try to stay cool it is going to be 104 out there.
I'm going to try 4 races if I don't pass out first. The Yamaha TZ 250 is just rebuilt top & botton end I will try to post some picks on Sunday afternoon.

| Re: Buttonwillow anyone? I got bumped and took a "shortcut" through the mud rather than the esses once during a rainy event there. It didn't help my lap times any, but more than the bike needed to be cleaned.
Oh, and I still passed the punk that did it the next lap, going up the second hill - after the banked righty. |

Yea it can get quite muddy there after some rain....I'm guessing it's pretty hard out there though as it's been 100-110 for the last 1.5 weeks..  |
