Just got home. What a weekend. Everyone was eating tires. Some good racing. Some sucked. But it was fun. :)

I had planned to go, but got hit by a stomach bug Friday morning that put me down until Saturday afternoon.
Didn't feel like rushing to a port-a-potty every 30 minutes!
We rode a track day there on 5/7, so lots of MA riders and a SS1000 rider was pitted next to me.
The chatter between him and some others in the paddock was there was little chance of the tires making full race distances.
Dunlop ran out of tires that weekend, and he had a Michelin mounted by mid day on Sunday, just to finish the weekend!
Everyone was eating the right side of the rear tire. Hot tearing. Out friend couldn’t make the tire last 5 laps at first. By the second race on Sunday we were able to get it better but the last few laps he was on ice.
