		<description><![CDATA[Man, this week has had some ups and downs.

Last Friday, at the Adrenaline Freaks trackday prior to the opening round of the WMRRA season, I spun a rod bearing and demolished the bottom end of my R6's motor. Tearing it down in the new 28' Performance Source trailer, I found out that I needed *everything*: new bearings, new pistons, new connecting rods and even a new crankshaft.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My arm is healing well. I saw my surgeon, Dr. Richard Angelo of the Evergreen Orthopedic Center, on Friday to get a check-up and some new x-rays. The breaks in my radius are nearly fully healed on their own, and my clavicle is holding together perfectly and knitting quickly. I was given a referral to physical therapy, but told at the same time that I likely will not even need it, as I have not lost any flexibility or range of motion at all. I've got another checkup scheduled for April 1st where I will receive the final yes or no, but overall the odds look good for an appearance at the first WMRRA round at Pacific Raceways on April 4th!]]></description>

I suppose the Las Vegas ER doctor was correct in the sense that I would not die without surgery... but I sure as heck won't heal without it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The secound round of the WERA West series was hosted at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, a course I am very familiar with and comfortable on. I was entered in seven races, including two solo endurance races and a make-up race being carried over from our first round at Auto Club Speedway. I was very excited to race, as holding the first round's make-up race at Vegas would put me at an advantage points-wise because I had much more experience at LVMS than at ACS and would do much better.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, this was supposed to be a cheap weekend. With the WERA Grand National Finals only two weeks away, nearly every dime I had was spoken for. However, with my friend Duane&#8217;s prodding and some not-so-subtle jabs and challenges to my Fuzimoto-built GSXR-750&#8217;s masculine prowess, I went to Portland like an addict to his dealer.

		<description><![CDATA[The track temperature at this point in the day was a no-joke 150*F. In the shade, the air temperature was 112. We quite literally did not have to use warmers - you could simply place your tires on the asphalt, and they would be up to temp. About halfway into a race, they'd get greasy - even the BT-003 Type 2 Hards I was running specifically for this weekend.. I'll have to remember to get the ultra-hard Type 1's for next year. After 750 Superstock I had only a one-race break before 600 Superbike, so I didn't even really peel off my suit; I just had my friends pour water into my boots and down my back. By the halfway flags of the race inbetween, I was dry.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For June, there was an unavoidable conflict in the WMRRA and OMRRA schedules - both organizations landed on the same dates for their race weekend, and neither was able to change its commitment. This left the many riders who compete in both series with a difficult question: Which races should I run, and which should I let slip? I chose to go down south to OMRRA, for while my GSXR-750 is competitive in its classes in WMRRA, it's dominant in its classes in OMRRA (thanks Fuzzy!) and I've got in my sights a class championship.]]></description>
