Title: What a Blast!!!
Post by: wolf44 on September 04, 2006, 07:04:22 PM
Man I thought trackdays were fun....until I tried racing.  I was in my first race this weekend at Gateway and I have to say I will definately be back to racing.  I finished 5th in the AM GTO and took my times from squeaking out 1:17's the weekend before to consistant 1:14's.  In fact my two fastest laps of the race were the last two laps!  I'm not where near the FAST guys but I was still having fun.  Thanks Tstruyk, speedballer347 (now with yellow plates :lmao:), and pimpdaddy for the encouragement :thumb:

Hey spooner, hows it going. Had a blast racing with you in the lw classes. I was on the black and blue am plates sv. Ha, we spent probably 12 out of 16 laps together laps together. Made it alot more fun having someone to ride with.

Great job Dan! 
You EARNED 4th, as I was only in that race due to some licensing issues (forced to race amatuer) on Saturday, which I was able  to rectify on Sunday (expert).
You did DY-NO-MITE  8)

It's the "fast pink" duct tape.  Stuff takes 2 seconds off your lap times.

I'll go buy some of that Magic Duck Tape before Hastings.

Kevin here. Ugly yellow SV. Ben you flying. Missed the 11's by a few hundreths. Way to go. I hit an 11.9 in LWGP. Too bad Jamie Hall done a few 11.0's. We were .5 apart at the finish. What a fun race! Becka, put a camera on your bike. :biggrin:
