    That was a good show. Fuck, was it hot. I would have croaked without the breeze.

    Last year was somehow WAY hotter. It's amazing the times those guys (and girl) can run in that kind of heat. I even heard that some were running ultra-softs in the races! Riding greasy tires sucks, and I have to imagine they got about a half-dozen laps before they were total greaseballs.

    For me, the most impressive lap times were from the smaller bikes. As somebody who has ridden an FZ-07 (or MT-07 or R7; same bike) and built my brother's into something similar to what those guysm are racing on, seeing somebody crank out 1:47s on one is something I can't wrap my head around. I know it's a builder's series, so they probably have those engines up to about 100 hp of ticking time bomb, that's still fucking incredible. And then to see what looked like about a 14-year-old girl bust out a 1:53 on a Ninja 400, giving up roughly 140 hp and going four seconds per lap faster than me, made my cock'nballs shrivel and fall completely off. I'm a Ken doll now.

    Was the VIP treatment worth it?

    I don't know because I've never been there without one - but it didn't look like you gained all that much. It was nice having food and drink and a cool place with big screen tvs to take a break here and there, though. I'll probably pay it again as it's a pretty cheap VIP pass, and I want to support their efforts out at the track.

    With some proper upgrades and a few trees cut down so you could see the Olympics from the grandstands, that track could go places and bring lots of scratch to Mason County.
