Oh... guess what I managed to get, or what was given to me. I was given an official Yoshimura Suzuki Team pit crew shirt. Now this is not the pit shirts you can buy from Suzuki, but the official shirt with all the team sponsors stitched in. This was courtesy of Greg Wood (crew member) It was crazy, I just walked over when they were loading up the bikes and asked if I could buy one form somewhere with the team sponsors or if I could buy one from them. He said oh no you can only get the official shirts if your part of the team. Then he was like... I tell you what hang around and when we finish loading up the bikes come and see me and I will give you one. Needless to say I did and he gave me the shirt right off his back. Folded it up so you could not see the logos and said keep this hush hush and I'll catch you next year. I was like hell yeah. I put in the cleaners yesterday and will put it in a safe place for now. Hey this may not be much to some people but..... to me it was like gold... Suzuki's 5th championship team crew shirt. And Mladin really is not the ass people think he is. I had a chance to talk to him after the second race when the team was loading up. Cool guy..... said he was off to Japan in two days then what do you know big head Greg Whites comes over and pulls him for a interview. Yates was cool to I din't have a pin for a autograph on my tee shirt so he was like follow me I'll get one. At times I felt like a reporter...lol.. I talked to Roger Lee.... another cool kid. Said he was staying with Kawasaki next year and just kept saying they treated him real well. I also asked him what was his brother (Nicky) going to do next year. He just laughed and said I haven't talk to him much in the last month. Montez Stewart was cool.... But when I asked him some question about his bike he was like I don't know man that's some Moto GP stuff. All in all another great year at the track. And no I did not get drunk this time.....lol

Re: VIR AMA Race photos are up
yea I've heard Eric's a great guy and he seems it in all his interviews, he was all alone at the ducati tent so i walked up to him and he started signing a poster before i could say anything and i was like "oh, thanks but actually i wanted to see if you guys had heard who won the moto gp race in malaysia", i think i hurt his feelings a little haha, but i thanked him for the poster and told him how much i enjoyed watching him on the ducati bringing something different to the paddock, he seemed really bummed i guess about not racing

Re: VIR AMA Race photos are up
i have ~50-60 pictures im waiting to upload. hosting them might be a problem as well.
best time ive had in a while. i have the new scorpion helmet with the fast clip-ins on the visor, and the night before the race i was riding around and 3 times when i went to close or open the visor, the clips would fall off. i have NO clue how i found all the peices, but i did. i saw they had a booth where all the vendors were. i told them about it and the guy said to bring it by. i brought it over and he looked at it. he replaced the whole side of the helmet, everything that has to do with that clip, for free. he also gave me his card and said if i have any more problems, to let him know and he would do everything he can to make it right. he knew the helmet has been dropped too. i thought that was cool as hell.
ill see what i can do about those pictures so i can add to what you got.
