| Re: MMP Labor Day Weekend 2006 All I can say is, "WOW, what a track and weekend." Good fun was had by all. Only one bad off, last session of the B group and not one of ours. The track is everything they say it is, just AWESOME. Plenty of room to pass anywhere on the track and I should know. Don't think there is a corner out there that someone didn't pass me on.
This is definitely a must do track for anyone's list.
OBTW, the Cali end was the rowdeir. Something about Speed trying to make time with the WAITER!  |

Riding my horse behind her and seeing how well she as a 6 yr old handled her horse throughout the ride was amazing. She was thrilled to see a momma mule deer with 2 younguns right next to the trail. This whole experience was worth the 20 hrs on the road itself. | That's awesome!  |

*Did I mention that rrwantr brake-checked me hard in a turn?!......... we'll get to that in the report......   | |

| Re: MMP Labor Day Weekend 2006 ok I've determined that photog sucks. I can't find many pics of you guys (atleast the ones i can pick out easily, BDA, Phobe, BWhip, RRwantr).
ok so he doesn't really suck because of that.
damn this guy looks fast, some nice elbow action Fotomotion of Utah

| Re: MMP Labor Day Weekend 2006 What's up fellas.
Just wanted to say thanks for the awesome weekend of track time and entertainment....I had a great time! Miller is such and amazing track, fast smooth and technical...what more can you ask for? Can't wait to ride more in the states, you guys are so spoiled.
RACE CITY
Many thanks go out to purp and phobia for hooking me up with a ride to Miller, I probably wouldn't have rode MMP at all if it wasn't for them.
Oh yeah, sorry for being so calm and quiet, I tend to keep to myself when I hang out with people I don't really know.
Nice meeting you guys.
