No VIR? No problem.

Haga, Er .. Kraft Replica Arai

As for the bike, Joe, Doug and I spent a good 10-12 hours last Saturday working on it. Not going to VIR was disappointing, but it sounds like we avoided some of the crashes that happened on a spring-like, green track in this first race weekend of the season (it wasn't an official round for us, but one we wanted to hit to shakedown the new bike). Thoughts out to Jonas who got caught up in a T1 crash that wasn't his fault and fractured his hip. He and Aaron went down there and I'm sure Aaron needed quite a bit of Red Bull and/or coffee to make the 12-hour drive back solo to get them home.

This weekend will be another busy one.  Wrobel is coming up Saturday with his bikes so we can get them matching to "team spec".  Doug and Aaron are coming up again to lend a hand, which is much appreciated.  I'm going insane getting different stickers made trying to find a look I like with this new paint scheme we have.  Good times.  Not really.  I'm about to torch all this vinyl.

Oh, and here's my new lid for the season.  It's the Haga replica.  It's a special helmet in a sense, because the Haga was the first helmet I bought and raced with years ago.  It was a different design, but had a similar theme.  I went on to do pretty well that year with the helmet.  This latest Haga was always one I wanted, but didn't because the design had his number (41) on the sides.  Through some graphic "craftiness", I've changed the number to one that's more fitting.  I think it came out pretty good.

Cheers.
