    It's been over 2 years since I rode a bike....but I'm gonna try it again. so this is just a quick shout out for a bit of assistance...

    I'm doing the Marietta Motorsports Talladega trackday on September 22nd. And I'm looking at just doing a few sessions to see if the bike all works n such.

    I'm hoping to pit on pit lane, but I'm hoping for a couple of guys to launch me and catch me...

    So, if you happen to already be going to the trackday, and would not mind launching and catching me in the "street" group sessions....then I would be very much appreciative. :)

    And a big hey to anyone on here who still knows me :D

    Awesome!

    Whenever someone asks me what club racing is like, I have them watch your DVD. It's the best way for people to get it.

    Have fun.

    And, if you show up to help Mark, you'll of course get free lunch, drinks, and snacks like all the other trackday attendees.

    Huey may even let you sit in the kiddie pool with him.

    Mark,
    I'm going to pm you my cell number. I was paralyzed on June 1 at RRR. I'd love to talk to you. I'm classified as incomplete Asia B rating with most damage done to T8.

    wow MarkB thats cool! what are you riding? if its anything like Doug Henry's machine you gotta post some pix!

    kinda hard to forget a guy that does multiple mid air cartwheels 20ft above ground! LOL something tell me you might not remember that one at Rd Atl. T1 too well though.

    it was a sight like no other Ive seen.


    keep the rubber on the road and best of luck, have fun!

    Much respect, Mark! It's a shame more people don't have your spirit. Have a blast out there!

    Remember what I said after my "moment" coming through 10 at Barber? This is the Mark I was talking about that I thought of when It happened.


    Man I wish I could be there at Tally. The Barber video of you getting back on the track is moving to say the least.

    Great to read all those comments there...!!!

    I think I'll just come on down and see what happens. I just need some passing person to hold the bike and then catch me....no biggie...:)

    I'll be riding the Ducati, and this time it will have working shifter, thanks to Mark at Ducshop

    :)
