Ya'll can both suck my balls...

That brings up a question. How many of you guys do the practice sessions and/or Solo20's before sprint events? The last 2 events I've felt pretty comfortable when my times started getting moving closer towards respectable, but I felt that I needed 10 or 20 laps on the previous day to work the bugs out.

Hey I should get some props for starting from the 3rd wave at Road Atlanta for my first orange jersey race and not ending up on my head.

On CCS weekends, I do the Friday practice and on Saturday, GTO, GTU, F40 and MWGP. Sunday a sprint or two but more often then not, I'm on my way home early Sunday trying to beat the traffic.

Why is that? You are so slow I would give you props if you started on the first wave, and no one ran into you on their way by.
