Got wind of AMS private track day at Cresson 9/25/08.  I am in.  Not sure how many other spots left.  $250.  I won't be able to make the 10/18 track day so the price doesn't seem so bad to me.

I did,Scott.  Nash has named the part of the track where you got out of shape after you.  I also brought some microbrew for you to try at the end of the day thinking you might show up.  It was a great day.  Jeff and Derik (?sp), 3 amateur racers and about 4 or 5 regular riders went riding.  It was my first track day on the 848 and the tires are already toast but the bike worked well.  I think I got around 160 miles of riding in.  Thighs really sore afterwards. Sorry no pics but one of the participant's family members took around 400 shots so maybe they will show up somewhere.  As far as I know there were no endos.  Looking forward to the next one.

Well, I'm flattered, I suppose, but confused... Are there 2, or 3 sections named after me?!? :P

So exactly which part of the track has been re-named the "Partial Pinky"?

I think "Scott's corner."  You come up to a downhill left turn little off camber and there is a bump in the road.  Apparently, the use of the front brake there can produce unintended results.

I'm honored ;)
