Hi RF,
I'm from NM, so welcome an extra amount . When I was living there, we had to go racing in CO, or there was a little track in Las Cruces.
Maybe time for a road trip this year...get to a new track, maybe get a little coaching too?

Well on the plus side, we have a track here in Albuquerque now. Sandia Motor Speedway. Its far from great, but its far greater than nothing. We also have Arroyo Seco down in Deming. I'd love to get a little coaching or try some .. ahem... *real* tracks.. but I'm barely affording tires for the Duc. (And my wife HATES the bike) So for now my coaching stems from books, and the forums online, and the few trackdays I'm able to make it to. Hopefully if/when the economy picks up (for us Automotive Mechanics) I'll be able to get the bike a little more track prepped and out to do some real riding. For now all I've done is a suspension setup, and lost about 18 lbs (off of myself). I'm getting ready for the first trackday at the end of April so I can try out all of the new fun things I've been reading about and learning. Thanks again for the "Extra amount" of welcome!
