Justin's bike issue was definitely weird. At least you got a 1/2 day mechanical from NESBA, that's some consolation.
Anyway, it was ridiculously hot out there. One session in the afternoon I came back in and my nose started bleeding when I took my helmet off. I have always gotten nose bleeds easy when I was a kid, but not much anymore, so it must have been doing a toll on the body. We all did our best to stay hydrated and cool, but that is real tough in 100 degrees.
Overall I was real happy with my day (first full day in A group). Didn't have any oh shit moments or major scares. First session out was a little rough, not smooth on brakes or turn in points. Sorted that all out in the 2nd session and got better. Per a stopwatch (I still can't find my lap timer) I ran a 1:23.8 as my best lap. It got hard to keep the same pace the hotter the day got, but I was happy as I ran 1:24's consistently every lap.
The best session was the 2nd to last. Someone in B group wrecked and their bike caught on fire. We ended up having to sit in hot pit for a few minutes (which really sucked) to go out, but it bunched everyone up in A group. It was absolutely crazy once they through us on the track. I saw 4 wide into T1 and somehow no one wrecked or went off. I'm guessing that kind of what racing is like the way some of the guys rode that session. It was a lot of fun and impressive to watch how some of these guys could ride.
None the less, had a safe and fun day and can't wait for NJMP in Aug. It was great to meet Pat and Matt and I am looking forward to seeing your videos.

It was good to see Justin, meet Nate and his crew, and the other guy that pitted close to us with the GSXR 750 (sorry, his name escapes me). That really sucks about Justin's bike problems. That's so frustrating!
This was my first time at Summit and I really like the track! If I remember correctly, my best lap times for the first 4 sessions were as follows; 1:39, 1:33, 1:29, 1:28 (I believe I got into the 1:27's once with a 1:27.89 or something like that). It's fun to see the times fall as you learn a new track.
Damn it was HOT! I was concerned that grip levels would fall off as the track temp got too high, but that was never an issue. If anything, the grip seemed really good from the 1st session on. This was definitely the hottest trackday I've ever done! I'd take another 98 degree trackday over a rain trackday every time!
