It seemed like a lifetime ago since Daytona, but finally Road America was here. Hence the long break I found myself struggling a bit to remember who was racing and on what. Confusing now too since the numbers stay with the teams instead of the racers. I also completely forgot that Aaron Yates was back again and on an EBR bike. Even though there was a threat for rain every day it held off during the races. Friday and Saturday were actually very nice days, but Sunday was much cooler and it showed when they bumped up the Supersport races into the morning and they kept dropping from cold tires (I suspect) in the chicane. Then there was the huge as they put it... "total carnage" on the restart beyond the grid on the straight away but not due to the weather. I think one racer is still at Froedtert (where I went for my motorcycle accident) but I haven't heard any updates regarding them/her.

I was very pleased to see that CBS Sports had picked up on the television coverage and also that Jonathan Green joined their team to cover the American races.

For those wondering, no I did not have a chance to catch up with Jim Roach. Every time I thought I would get to chat with him, either he was busy and/or I got distracted. I'm certain this weekend was huge for him after the problems they had at Daytona. Glad to see they were able to turn things around.
