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!

The smile on her face for the ENTIRE hour was absolutely priceless and it will be a moment I remember for the rest of my life.

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!

Re: MMP Labor Day Weekend 2006

It's going to take me quite a while to write up everything that happened on this awesome trip so I'll just say for now that it was one of the best I've ever been a part of!!

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

You should have expected that...you know you weren't going by that easy at that point..maybe elsewhere but not there.



* I actually think I had a brain fart not realizing what corner I was in.

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.
