My runs were pretty good. I'm a lot faster than I was last season, and I'm still building up more speed. I think this year is going to be my best year.

Just dirt and sand. It's pretty gnarly.

I like Brno, Motegi, Sepang, Qatar... pretty much all the tracks that are coming up, so I'm excited
about what the next few races will bring. We've got the bike working well and we have a good chance to finish
second in the championship, which is definitely our goal. Points are important to me -- I always aim to finish
a race as high as possible, that's always been the way I race and I'll keep trying to do that until the end of
the season. At the same time it would be great to win a race...so I'm going to try for both!

Once we got out of Jackson, it was pretty smooth sailing.

It felt good to pretty much play the whole game. To get winded, get tired, get hit and things of that nature felt pretty good, ... I think everything went well. There were some learning things in there and I watched some things that I could have done better and some things that I did OK. ... Now we are ready to move forward and play Chicago.

We've got snow on the ground and it's cold. That's a pretty good thing.
