Got to make a stop on the way so I don't think I'll be there before 6.
I can be there at 6 if you want to tune my car instead? Don't feel like you have to thank me, I am just trying to get started on a positive note with you guys..

That is what I was going to bring for gloves. They are also helpful when you are working the track.

They were offered unlimited over time in an attempt to lower motorcycle riders visits. They typically camp out at the top or bottom of the hill on slow days.

The hill is "okay" but i don't like how its nearly a reverse bank. The spars past the hill? Now thats a damn road.
Yarnell hill being patrolled is not a new thing. ~10 years ago I did the loop up North on my bike nearly every weekend. There was a patrol more often than not at the "rock" you can see from the bottom of the hill. They were always using a stop watch to calculate speed between their know markers.

Also, they had a spot near the last turns before you get into Yarnell. I have been pulled over in the spars too.

Later on my buddy and I started using Chatterbox's. One of us would be the slow guy riding ahead to radio back if there was an officer. I was the spotter going up Yarnell...and was letting my buddy know it was being patrolled. He never confirmed he got the message. I pulled over and waited on the side of the road. He got pulled over. The officer congratulated him for being the slowest rider on the hill that day.

Hah! Yeah i got pulled over on the hill once in a group. One person was arrested (fish and game ticket from ten years previous it got way worse than this later a few hours later). The officer told him while he was in the car that they started an anti motorcycle patrol recently with unlimited overtime due to the death of a couple of police officers that were off duty. They all wrecked on their sports bikes and died... So because of this they were allotted unlimited overtime. -.- If you ask me the officers died doing what they loved, enforcing afterwards doesn't really seem the productive.

Lol i was going to do that too... then i realized i could just get a retrofit HID kit for my FRS that replaces the projectors (i like the light output of my retrofit better than the brz by a decent margin) and realized i liked the red tipped seats & darker interior more. I would love leather bolsters but thats about it =x
