Great racing wk end on TV!!

NO NASCAR and it started Sunday 6 am with the best F1 race I have seen in a while, then the the open wheel Indy car and Champ car races-these cars are true race cars unlike the NASCAR sihlouette cars that are essentially all alike and modeled after the 70's Monte Carlos. UGH!
Then of course there were the MOTO GP from Laguna and the AMA Superbikes and Supersports races all throughthe aftertnoon. Wonderful viewing!
In between the races on TV, I got my Bonnie out for some exercise and finally got the carbs dialed in just about perfect. Then I took my Speedy out for some high speed work that was most enjoyable.
Great Day! They should all be so nice.

Ditto here! F1 first thing in the AM with morning coffee. I love a wet race!

Rode the bike in the afternoon, home in time to catch MotoGP. Sadly missed the stuff in between, but a nice bookend to the day!

I agree, but felt sorry for Hamilton. Qualified tenth because some mechanic didn't tighten his wheel up, then the previous race when he got the pole he only got 3rd because they set up the rear of his car differently before the race . Maybe Alonso's tantrums over Hamilton beating him are having an effect?
