I was 'pitted' with the club, but had to park 50 ft. away due to lack of space. As a result I had to go back to my trailer numerous times for tools and drinks and gas etc. I claimed part of Matt's trailer when I wasnt going back and forth. With that and all the time spent in class I didnt get to do as much socialising as I would have liked.
I wasnt so upset by the weather. Last few track days I did were at Hallet in 100+ degrees. That was miserable.
It sure was an eventful time on the track. I was a little surprised in the second session when i was nearly taken out going through turn 1 by a 'I-race-CMRA-so-I'm-cool' 1098 in bare race fairings. Funny thing (depending on perspective) was that he then highsided 20 feet in front of me coming out of 8 after hitting the small wet patch. I was a little worried that would be the theme for the day.

Never saw that many crashes in single day.
