MMP Labor Day Weekend 2006
We'll post updates from our Miller Motorsports Park extravaganza here.

SPEED and bwhip have officially arrived in SLC (and BDA116 was already here ). Still waiting on our Canadian buddies.

I've got a feeling that tomorrow is going to be really, really fun!

If they're not out by the time I'm there, they're even slower than me.

Have fun tomorrow. Is there a gate fee to get in each day?

Nope. No gate fee for spectators at track days, either.

bwhip..got your pm but can't reply as it says you've chosen not to accept pms or can't receive them..


I'm not riding tomorrow, just Monday. I brought the wife, my 4yr old boy and 6 yr old girl and we're going to bum around tomorrow a bit. We may stop by the track for a bit at some time,

Glad you guys made it ok

Strange, since I've been getting PM's tonight from others...?

Anyway, glad to hear you made it safely. Have a great time tomorrow with the fam. Hope you can stop by tomorrow to say hi, and we look forward to riding with you on Monday!

Nobody crashed today, but we all had a bunch of fun. The videomeister has lots of good footage, and I'm sure he'll post some snippets for us all.
Now it's time to head out for dinner with the boys and girls.

Re: MMP Labor Day Weekend 2006
What an AWESOME day! We all had a blast. Everyone kept it rubber side down (although a certain video camera bike had two off-track excursions ).

BDA116, Phobe, SPEED and I were absolutely tearing it up. I got lots of great video footage. Unfortunately Purp isn't able to ride due to his shoulder injury.

We're looking forward to tomorrow, when RRWANTR and Mojave954 will be joining us.

The others - friends of SPEED, bwhip, and our other Canadian pal all had a great time as well.

There were not a lot of people today (a lot more tomorrow), so everything was pretty relaxed and it gave everyone a chance to learn the track. I shouldn't have shown them the right lines because I have a feeling that tomorrow they're going to smoke me! Oh well.

We wish you were here!
