Peter Stadtmueller wasn't trying out something as radical as a new steering dampner, but Johnny Gallagher was able to talk him into trying out some Powermaid Handguards on his 450R, so Pet was busy getting them installed while waiting for rider registration to open.
Jimmy was also busy making some minor adjustments to Bill Ballance's machine in hope of some better luck this weekend.
The tireballs crew started early Friday mounting tires and installing tireballs for some new customers.
If you are looking to get tireballs installed at the track, it is recommended that you arrive early Friday if you want them installed before the racing on Saturday
Ben Wrightmans was sporting his EXriders.com shirt as he unloaded prepared to head over to the tireball guys.
I quicklyl found out why Ben was so happy when he showed me his new prototype Kenda radial tires that you planned on trying out this weekend.
As the morning turned into the Afternoon, the winds began picking up from the west with gust over 30 MPH, which had Jay quickly trying to take down his Maxxis canopy before it was shredded in the wind.
The Lewis racing crew couldn't react quick enough to the strong winds and their Easy Up tents with twisted up in the wind with the one snapping in several sections after being blown over by the strong winds.
The strong winds out of the west are suppose to continue into tomorrow with winds speeds sustained around 15 MPH with gust over 30MPH, which will work great at clearing out the dust tomorrow, but everyone better secure there stuff if they don't want it to blow away.
Temps were in the upper 50's today and are expected to climb in the 60's tomorrrow after a chilling start in the 30's tomorrow morning.
The Ballance, Team Safari, Four Stroke Tech, and others all decided to either take down or not even put up their canopies because of the winds, so Brandon Ballance drove this YFZ back into the trailer before they took down the Easy Up.
The Pro Pits didn't look the same without all the bright colored Easy Ups, but they didn't have much choice.
Jim Pinkston, ITP Tires, found out ITP tires also work well as a seat and foot rest :eek:
