Title: Some CCS insight at Roebling this weekend
Post by: chaplain220 on July 12, 2010, 11:28:20 AM
It was hotter n Dante's Peak with acid reflux down at Roebling this past weekend, great TC race and some good battles out there, congrats to Nate, I think he took the CCS track record.  I only had time for a couple pics but thought this one was kinda cool, especially after I really started to talk with some of these guys.

I mean, dont get me wrong, they are ugly as all get out, but that's not the point.  There is a lot of racing history with these guys, from flat tracking, cars, AMA, but definitely a love for the bikes, and to listen to them talk about what they did back in the "day" was pretty cool.  I even saw Kevin Elliots ol racing leathers out on the track this weekend, running with the lightweights on the back of another CCS official.   Not perfect, and there will be the occasional disagreement, but hese guys really love what they're doing and overall make it the best racing I've experienced.  Thanks.  And don't meatball me anymore, it's not "jumping-start", for me it's a "head-start".  See yas at Homestead.
