Back to AFM

[Maddevill]

Hello folks ,
Today I drove down to Thunderhill Raceway Park to meet up with an old friend. We were both helping a Novice racer on his R3.
I haven't been to an AFM round I retired from racing in 2007. It only took a few seconds for the old bug to hit me. Just fantastic
seeing the bikes live. In the Super Dinosaur class there were a couple of CB900Fs, a KZ1000 and a GS 1000. Man those guys were
ripping ! I don't know what the guy with the KZ has done to his engine but it was revving well beyond the normal redline..... and smoking
a bit too. The GS pilot did a massive wheelie off the start line and carried it for quite a ways. All this got my infantile brain to start
churning and burping around inside my melon. Hmmm....I've got another 83 GS750. I'm about to start getting fixed up......Super Dinosaur ?
Mwahahahaha ! Doh! Still have a bad knee and it would no doubt cost me a small fortune.... Oh well. A boy can dream.

Slim chance, but might go there on 11/1-2 for a trackday. Been there once, did the tight West loop on 83 Kat, but yet to try the East or full track they usually run once a year. My 5 year old TH long sleeve T is rather tattered, so it might be an excuse to get another one, since I hate to pay shipping! Ha.

Hey, let me know if you decide to go. If I'm free maybe ill zip down there and cheer you on.
