Jeff is an awesome instructor and awesome dude all around! I had the experience of having him as one of my instructors at an FCA camp. Paired up with those other two, sounds like a great camp.

Chromecast is your best friend. Chromecasting the Fox Sports Go stream to TV honestly looks better than what is aired. I believe Fox Sports airs in 720P, where as the webcast is actually 1080P.

FCA puts on a good camp too. I went to it during my first year of racing it really helped me out a lot. I'd love to go back again now and see where I would be afterwards. The guys they get out instructing are great riders, sometimes they even get a big name pro to show up.

Listening to Ralph is an absolute train wreck for anything he gives commentary. Was flipping through the channels one night and came across short track, dirt car racing. Sure enough Ralph is announcing, and butchering everything like the blabbering buffoon he is. I've never watched that in...

On the plus side, no charge to ride is the buzz.

He finished 9th in his group, I'd say he deserved to be there. Might actually be able to pull off a top 10.

I was pretty much all the way to the right, and the dude decided he'd make room next to me somehow. I was impressed he didn't either land on me or off the side of the landing. There was maybe 2 or 3 inches between the ends of our bars when he landed. Just one of the many things in C that...

No tripling for C class! Anyone who was in C class that was tripling, Friday or Saturday, needed to be bumped into B class. C class is not the place for that, almost had some C class goon land on my head in practice on Thursday. I understand it's not the hardest thing in the world to do...

Yes, more times than not I've seen it changed between days. The triple used to be a quad, so everyone would triple-single then take the inside. Then next turn everyone would be inside going single-double-double. Also looked like the rhythm section may have changed a little too, but I'm not...

Friday favored the inside on every corner except the one before the triple.

Practice is Thursday. Racing is Friday and Saturday.

Absolutely packed tonight. Sat in traffic for 40 minutes waiting to get in. Good racing, kept moving along at a good pace, and no serious injuries (unless I missed something in the first 8 motos).

Interesting that you say that. Arrive and drive is the way to go in auto racing and karting, unless you have an insane amount of money to put together a whole team for yourself including mechanics, engineers, crew chief, and administrative staff. Even then, you can't match the time a team has...

Suppose you need someone to respond to an incident in a few seconds notice, rather than a minute or two. Yeah sure, practices almost never have flaggers around the track. But, during practice riders are self-policing for the most part. In a race, a rider will not stop in most cases unless...

I like that format, but it would be quite a change going from a 2 moto to a 1 moto format even if there was more lap time. Also, I know I would be having more fun and riding harder going 100% for a shorter period of time twice. For a rider that usual practices and races only a handful of...

If you're willing to travel (which some are) there's events you can run at probably 40+ weekends of the year. But, that's pretty much for the people with huge budgets that have their own semi and the whole nine yards or pay for a seat with a professional race team. So for most people, there's...

How much more seat time do you get from condensing classes? 1 lap? Big whoop. To me that isn't worth coming out and racing again. And if you shave enough classes away and can go from 3-4 laps to 5-6 laps, I surely know I'll be worn out come lap 3-4 like I normally am , then just putt around...

The small gallery of pictures I got at Apple Cabin this week are now live on my Facebook page. Check 'em out HERE if you were there (or even if you weren't)!

I've been dabbling in working towards getting an auto racing competition license. And there's very little to no complaining about everything people complain about in motocross. Why is it that most people in motocross want the shortest day possible at the track? Nobody complains about the long...

That. The tables are basically speed bumps now. And the "triple" is basically an uphill ski jump. Build up a true landing to triple it, and fix up the face again. That thing was fun to hit when it wasn't worn down to nothing. And do something with the weird roller things in the back that...
