Yeah, a bit early, but I'm excited! I haven't been on the track since June 1. :( :o This will be my last race weekend of the year, and I will be there Wednesday afternoon through Sunday! Gonna be a lot faster this time around.
So, who else is gonna be there? When are you arriving?
Hey Nate you know Team Stumpy will be there in full effect. I can't get to all the other races on the other side of the equater like some of those other junkies ;) I've accually been lookin' at some Canada roadracing sites. Only 3 hours to Canada But I can't leave my CCS Homies, Besides I heard something about those Canadians wearing Hocky Gear for race gear......Scary :o
P.S No Offense Peire I still love ya :-*
The schock racing team will be there. We never miss blackhawk cause it is 30mins away for my dad and uncle and 5mins away for me. I will be there on thursday to work corners
We should be there.
Dawn :)
Maybe I should go to MAM for Yamaha money...LOL!
I'll be there... Somebody's gotta show Stumpy how to ride that new RR (or is the other way around :P )
Nate, just a word of advice... 4 days on the track is a LONG weekend. The last time I did it, I was on the downslide on Sunday and couldn't do my best.
Not saying you should skip any of it, but relax and take your time on Friday's practice. Perhaps take half the day off.
QuoteMaybe I should go to MAM for Yamaha money...LOL!
Just take the rest of the fast guys with you so us slow folks can have a chance :D
It all depends on the individual. Four days is fine for me (I only have one race on Saturday and two on Sunday) but as we found out, five days is not. We "stayed over" for Monday at the last Blackhawk... I can't see doing that again. I wasn't able to execute anything to my satisfaction because I was tired. For the first time EVER, putting on my helmet and going out on the track was a CHORE. We packed it up shortly after lunch and went home.
Back on topic... We WILL be "home" next weekend, but it looks like I'll only be riding on Sunday. Disappointing, yes - but after the last two weeks I'm just thrilled that my season wasn't cancelled altogether!
Jef4y, thanx for the advice. I hadn't really thought about that, actually. The main thought I had was more track time = a faster me! But, I see your point. I'm doing just GT lights on saturday, so that should give me a good chunk of a day to rest.
See you all there! Hopefully the weather will be nice! Dawn, how's the points looking for Paul in LWSS?
I'll be there.
QuoteDawn, how's the points looking for Paul in LWSS?
Nate:
Paul should have the Midwest points wrapped up in LWSS and LWSB so that all he would need to do is show up and make a lap.
Dawn :)

I'll be there too...cant wait!
Stumpy, I think your right....but you forgot to mention the beer drinkin', eh?
Dawn, My dad should not be that far behind in atleast one of those classes. I am not sure but i think he is
Awesome! I saw Tom Short's multiple wins at HT, and I was wondering how close it would be. He did miss the Double points at BHF in April, tho.
QuoteDawn, My dad should not be that far behind in atleast one of those classes. I am not sure but i think he is
Paul's ahead by 100+ points.
Paul however is 4 points behind your dad in Thunderbike. He is starting to talk about putting the ZX-6 back on the track to compete with your dad's F2. ;D
Dawn :)
What kind of lap times does Craig run on the SV?
Count me in! After a long summer of wrenching on Safety First bikes, thingy is going to get to ride one this weekend! :D
Let's see... Hasn't raced all year... riding a bike that he has never been on... Anybody want to start a pool on how slow I will be? I will give the winner $5 to spend at the auction Saturday night. (hey, isn't $5 what the beer costs?) ;D

I say you do a best of 1:16.XX
QuoteI say you do a best of 1:16.XX
You have more faith in me than I have in myself! I would be very satisfied with that time.
Dawn is winning midwest i am pretty sure that my dad is winning great lakes, great plains. I am not 100% for sure that is true thats what the points say
My dad who is craig, is running 1.22s on the sv
Heath
QuoteDawn is winning midwest
NOT Paul, but
Dawn is winning the midwest :o :) :D ;D
Just wait until I tell Paul <hee hee heeeeee>

Benji.
Thanks Benj, Come on don't push me to hard now gotta get used to that thing. I would like to hook up in practice again. Just quit hitting my kill switch ;)Oh and the babes might be kinda sparse with team Stumpy this time around the locals are already tuning up there snowmobiles and there like magnets to yoopettes, The real two wheel totties are comin' though.Trying to find ya a good one to take the focus off racin' a little bit. ::)knock 5 seconds off your lap times and I'm on your tail ;D LAter

The Mike and Mike show will be there after a long trip to Barber.
Stickman AM #43
Roeser AM #62

Tell me you'll run a 600 Bill!!! Or maybe I could run a HW class. I'd make you feel good by letting you beat me ;D
stump....
we will practice together again, that was fun...and i'd really like to "critique" your new bike. what does
p.o.s. stand for again ;)
just kidden....i'd like to ride your rr in fact!
Benji.
QuoteTell me you'll run a 600 Bill!!! Or maybe I could run a HW class. I'd make you feel good by letting you beat me ;D
You may have to ride the brakes all the way down the front straight if you are going to let me win.
Unfortunately, I won't be on a 600. I am going to be running one of Knuppy's GSX-R1000s. Although, I am hoping to ride a 600 (PLEASE ROSNO!!) for a stint on Friday. Besides finally getting back on a bike and having some fun, I would like to ride the 1000 and a 600 so I can decide what to race next year. (I have never raced a 1000 and only raced a couple of times on a 600.)
Quotewhat does p.o.s. stand for again
Pretty sure it stands for
Passing Other SlowGixxers
;D
I will be at BHF both remaining weekends CCS races there. Time to start riding my 750 and begin actually racing, been somewhat boring cruising around at the back of the pack so far on my 600 (but it was still stress relieving).
Everyone have fun that weekend Ill be thinkin about everyone. Wish I could go but iI have to work till October sometime. seeya
heather,
fighting greg's battles for him now?
what will we have to do 'bout this? hmmmnnn?
i meant "Purely Old School"
geez.
Quoteheather,
fighting greg's battles for him now?
Actually, he suggested Passing Other Suzukis...I thought that was better ;D!
He's home in the garage with the RR (you don't even want to know what we say RR stands for) until Wednesday. Besides handing him wrenches, I hand out a little trash talk for him, too! Gotta do my part for the Team!
He actually got an afternoon off work today to spend time on it! Those who know him know this is a first. Never mind that he worked from 8:00 am to Midnight last night, though. Yuck.
Stumpy says he misses your crazy ass very much :-*
QuoteHe's home in the garage with the RR
With one hand on each side of the tail section... :o
BTW, Bill, I can probably arrange a few laps on a 600 for you :) I'm confident you will enjoy it and be impressed! You might find yourself on a 600 next year...
QuoteWith one hand on each side of the tail section...
Oh Jeez, I never thought about that! I knew they were close...I should have never left him home alone with it,....what was I thinking! My marriage is ruined. Things will just never be the same.
Actually, I didn't think I like a roundy exhaust but the new Hindle does look pretty on it ;D
I go for the Yosh Tri-oval myself. ;) Yes, on a Honda.
QuoteBTW, Bill, I can probably arrange a few laps on a 600 for you :) I'm confident you will enjoy it and be impressed! You might find yourself on a 600 next year...
Really?!?!.... :) Are you going to be there on Friday? With the slow demise of the 750s, that is what I am trying to decide. 600... 1000... ??? I am sure that next year will be fun, whatever I decide. :D
QuoteWith one hand on each side of the tail section... :o
you sound like you know from experiance there JeF4y.... :o 8)

oh, and BTW, i'll be there sunday, cheering nate on.... not racing though, d**nit >:(

Heather,
you tell stumpy that i miss him too...very much in fact.
and i can't wait to pass him on his new bike too. :o
:P
oh yeah, and p.o.s. stands for
Passes Old Suzuki's.........just to make things
more fair. ;D
I'll be there.
Better bring the cold weather gear this weekend to BHF, it's only supposed to be a high of 80* - BURR! ;)
I should be there Friday night !!
Quoteyou sound like you know from experiance there JeF4y.... :o 8)
Of course I do! With a fine looking rear like that how could any guy resist?
jeff, you gonna pit with anthony again?
i'll be in the middle with the tire guys again.
see you friday?
Benj.
Yep, I'll be pitting with Anto again.
Hoping to setup in relatively the same spot as we had last time, but since I won't get out there til Thurs night, who knows where I'll end up...
I'm coming out on Thurs night. Not sure if Anthony is coming out for SD's school or just the day on Fri, but in any event we'll be there on Fri through the weekend.
