Testing at SGMPSaturday, March 11, 2006
Well, here we are at South Georgia Motorsports Park. I’m glad to be back on the bike and running the full quarter mile. Even the fact that my work computer was malfunctioning (not crashed) didn’t dampen my spirits.

Wednesday was my travel day from west to east. I stopped in Denver and opened my computer and completed some unfinished business. My next stop was Charlotte, N.C. I, once again, opened my computer to begin a new blog, and it welcomed me with a flickering and fading screen, and then locked up. I struggled with if for half the day here in Georgia, and then decided to call the Atlanta office and see what my options were.

Since I work on the road, it’s pretty important that I have a fully functioning computer with me. My computer is to me what Mac tools are to Gary: required.

Normally, I would have been very upset, but no, I was calm and positive. I think because we were back at the track and I was so happy to be here. This was my first time back on the bike for full quarter-mile passes, and it was great. My first hit was a 7.19. It was straight and nice and gave us a baseline to work with. Back in the pits, I did an interview with Brian at CompetitionPlus.com, and Mike from WALB News.

Today, things are a little different. We had some minor parts issues and have to postpone our testing until we get the parts. I’m not sure when that will be but I am sure that Gary and Doug have it under control.

As far as my computer goes, GE, once again, took care of me and shipped me a new one, overnight.

I have posted a picture that Frank Ranney took of our 2nd pass on Thursday.

Well, I better go. I will keep you posted.
