Default Congrats Thomas (TfnG) Gage on the Time Attack Podium!

Thomas (spec focus # 91) took second in the Modified Front-Wheel class at the Redline Time Attack at Gateway International Raceway this past weekend. Seeing that bright yellow spec run around out there all SVT'd out brought a tear to my eye!


Congrats Thomas! Job well done!

(I tried to find you all weekend, but everytime I went to your car, you were nowhere around and you took off after the awards ceremony!)

hey, i was wondering if u were out there anywhere. i was hoping for a bit better finish though!!! i flat spotted my left side tires pretty good during sunday morning practice and that slowed my times up. oh well, it could have been worse.

Sat morning was wonky anyway... rain (well... mostly heavy mist), cold.... and a track full of drifting clag didn't make things easy for anyone. Most of the top guys only put in a dozen or so laps all day the track conditions were pretty bad.

Sunday was absolutely fricking gorgeous tho!

**BREAKING NEWS**

MOTO GP is cancelled in wake of the ever growing NASA National Championships!

I just read this in the Enquirer or TMZ, I think its legit! So you wanna come race now?

Unhappy Re: Congrats Thomas (TfnG) Gage on the Time Attack Podium!

The Nationals would not be the same without Mr. Yellow in the field.

He is the poster child for the series since he is on the cover of the Spec Focus Hero card.
