I don't know that there are more than two things in life, that I find worth to do, that force me to sacrifice spending time with my kids. How many things in life, do you wake up at 5 AM for, do for 8-9 hours, and then come home and you just can't wipe the grin off of your face?
This past Saturday after Lightning, at 9:30 PM, my brother and I couldn't stop just repeating, "wow, that was the most amazing track day ever." Obviously we're grateful to the CR's, the Director, the Assistant Mid Atlantic Director, but we're also grateful for the cool cats in I group that pushed us all day, the friendly people who we met (in all groups), and will hopefully keep seeing at different events, and everybody in between that makes this sport so addictive. You folks are the classiest group of people on Earth, and it is APPRECIATED.:adore:
Have to fully concur with my brother on this one. I'm the anti-social one of the family (the "Grinch" isn't just on my bike for decoration
and I think it took him a little aback that I was smiling the whole way home. He kept asking "what?" and my answer was always the same "best track day ever. . .". The funny thing is that even though Lightning was our "bump track" and it's pretty well suited for cheat-liter bikes, it's our least favorite track of all the ones we ride (as much as an oxy-moron as that is because we obviously still ride it for a reason
. . .I kept coming back to the same answer - "today was the best day ever because of THE PEOPLE". Everything from our pit-mates (Anthony - CANT WAIT until NJMP in Sept!!!!!) to of course the CR's (Lenny, Bo, Manix, Kris and "7-11") to a certain photobombing, tourettes afflicted AD (no other explaination for why a middle finger randomly appears on my GoPro
to one of my favorite moments of all time with NESBA "attention riders, there will be a mandatory I group meeting at lunch". . .we swore we were about to be taken to the woodshed and then the meeting opens up with "alright, open discussion, what's going right, what's going wrong, what do we need to do to fix what's going wrong?'. . . .I love it when adults can work their shit out. . .like adults - mad props Bob:adore::adore:. It's hard to describe, but everything just felt so good!!!!!!! Thank you all for playing a part in that!!!!! As my brother already said, can't tell you how much it was appreciated!!!!!!
Always enjoy seeing you both. You guys have an energy and excitemnet that is addictive. Glad you could make it out
all joking aside - dying for the day we get to find a way to pay all of you back for just the shear magnitude of the "schooling" you guys have done with and for us. . ."faster and safer" doesn't happen by accident and we (and our family) are in-debted to you all!!!!!! That being said - I don't think I could ever buy a Yamaha just based on the randominess with with shit keeps falling off your bike. . .
I'm glad you guys had a good time see you at Tbolt!
you're the only reason I got dressed again for the last session - after my brother gave me "the message", immediately got geared up, so happy I did, had a blast!!!!!!
You two need to quit riding so much! You are going to advance too fast and I'll never get to pass either of you in a turn

4.5 months to get it all in;-)
Well i couldnt have said it better myself...Nesba really is like a family (a family of misfits ;-)) but non the less a family i'm happy to be part of. Ok enough of this sappy talk i need some more duck tape and zip ties
Thanks again to all the CR's and support staff for making a potentially crappy rained out weekend into a great time.
Oh and special thanks to 'NostaAllen' for his clear afternoon predictions. ;-)
Definitely a family of misfits. . .
My thanks to the Nesba group as well------
Fahdee--- good to finally get to introduce myself to you and your brother... I was not able to finish one of the nicest days to be on a track in my opinion...
See everyone soon.
