Had a blast running my favorite track last week and look forward to running a new bullring on Saturday. Does anybody have any gear recommendations for both a GSXR1000 and an R1? Trying to bring both cars if I can get them done...

Now as a non-member/outlaw/invader of the series I'm not sure if my opinion is warranted or needed. I'm just happy to have people that put time into making the series run. And then have those same people field cars (which is time consuming enough), and then spend most of their time helping figure out why your engine is running on 3 cylinders and fixing it. This is a pretty awesome group.

Had to step away from the impromptu, end-of-the-night meeting to talk with some fans that ventured down to the pits, but I'm aware of the mini-controversies that occurred on Saturday. First the scale deal... that's pretty much one of the most black-and-white rules in racing. Finish up front = go to the scales. There are 5 years olds running karts that can follow that. There are always discrepancies in measuring equipment, so give a grace of 5% or so across the board. If the car is supposed to way 940# then 893# or above passes. Even a set of bathroom scales wouldn't be that far off.

As far as the invert, I think it's a little much as well. I would rather see the top 6 or 8 lined up by passing points for the feature. That way the guys that worked hard to get to the top 2 or 3 in the heat race from the back get rewarded. And the great pill drawers have to pass someone to get up front.

Just my two cents. I have fun running with y'all. A great group to run with. If I lived closer I'd run a bunch more.
