I have $10 discount coupons, here: http://www.pe.com/sharedcontent/advertising/pe/devins/msd/calspeedway/calbik e3.htm Does anyone have a discount code I can use on the website http://www.californiaspeedway.com/tickets/ and get the same $10 discount? $30 is a lot of beer money! Thanks CA Stu

Cabe ...Eric is right.. pre-start drill includes putting the bike in first gear pulling in the clutch and rocking the bike back and forth until the clutch breaks lose. Makes thing much easier on the engine internals. I live in Scottsdale and do the drill even in the summer. WVDoran --- Gabe wrote:
