Anybody up there have their ears on?
Working...
but hankerin' to be there,
Pete
nice weather, LOTS of red flags, good tight racing. no one in the 15 yet.
It's gone something like this http://damnnet.com/download/3967/
for many people. A few races later a bike was broken in two, also in T4. [replace the "**" in the url with "am" ::)]
:o
I crashed my DR650 in practice on Sat. But Sunday I started riding it like a dirtbike, foot out, and dropped 4 seconds immediately. Consistent 1:37s with the OEM Bridgestone Trailwings. ;D
wow!!! nice vid clip Travis...was that Art Diaz?
whoever came into the turn in 3rd did a H#LL of a job staying on the track and then not running into a tumbling bike...kudos to that dude.
ride safe tomorrow.
Travis,
How did Rick & Kevin do in the team challenge?
Yeah, that's Art. He was back out there in Supertwins, maybe more, on his other bike, apparently taking it easy because I never saw him after the start. My sister shot the video. I keep telling her she needs to zoom more. One of these days..
Everybody guessed correctly and avoided the flying bike and parts.
Yowch!
I can't imagine coming around turn four and then seeing bike-akimbo flying around your windscreen.
It's amazing that nobody plowed into any of that stuff tinkling down the track.
:o
(crap, I wish I was there.)

It was a good time had by all. (Except those that crashed)

Rick and Geoff rode and finished 1st in class and 3rd overall.

I was in the 1:29's boyeee and consistent 1:30-31's!!!! We woulda had fun chasing each other!!! There was about 5 or 6 of us that were chasing each other around the track at that speed which made for some fun and exciting races.
QuoteEverybody guessed correctly and avoided the flying bike and parts.
Er...almost correctly. I'm the one asspacking Bill Davenport and running off in T5. Tore up my front fairing, rotated my clipon on the fork, and brent his exhaust into a VERY high exhaust mount. :-)
(All this after being hit in T1 on the restart initially.
Plus John Morgan was the amateur who went down in T10 when another amateur took him out evidently.
But hey...my bike looked better than Art Diaz's. DOH!

Beaten up but fine. I'm probably gonna have to donate some of my rashed bodywork for his bike. Nothing too bad from what I could tell.
He's whining at home today. The slacker!

What happened in the race that caused the crash in turn 10 and when did it happen.
From what I was told the crash happened right behind me. Bill Davenport was in the 3 bike wreck and he told me that one guy high sided HARD in front of him, but he could not avoid the flying bike so he then ended up hitting it along with another racer that got ran over by another racer. It went something like that I was told. We were red flagged for a good 10 min, after that it was gravy.
ah, the telephone game....well i was there and it unfortunately went like this.....bike 90 i think high sided at the apex of ten and i immediately hit him square in the pelvis....the 3rd rider involved hit his bike....this after witnessing diaz'z helicoptering bike while simultaneously getting a keener enema----yes an exciting weekend... can anybody with any info on the guy i hit pm me and let me know how hes doing and if possible how to get ahold of him...( please check with him/his family 1st to make sure its ok to post here). a fun weekend even with the carnage.... dr. d. hi pete ya missed out on a good one.

Were you there on Sunday in T10? Just wondering. (I like T10...and worked my butt off in supertwins tryingto catch the two lead guys on SV1000's!!!)
Actually, I was in T1 on Sunday...so I had a pretty good view of the action coming off the front stretch.
