Its a fun tight track.  Good run off, hard on the knee pucks and tires.  Watch out for turn 3 .  it bit me friday in practice.

Larry Denning set the track record there on Sun.  1.23.3  I think.   Congrats to Larry!

I was in a hell of a battle with Floater (Ron Springfloat) for 3rd, when my bike took a dump. It died going into turn 1. Got it restarted and finished 5th. (out of 5) Top 3. Give me a break! ;D

It's one of those tracks where you almost run off 2 or 3 times on your first practice lap. It has several decreasing radius exits and elevation changes at key parts of the corners. Once I got the hang of it I had a blast. (until my bike pooped) It looks like a perfect 125cc track. Now if I could do something about the 11 hour drive...... Later, Kevin

Larry rides an R6 and an R1. Ike... Gingerman is alot like Mid America. It's probably pretty difficult to go really fast there unless you know all the secret lines. Kevin... hey you still finished top 5  ;D I have yet to finish in the top 5 since the fluke where I finished 2nd in the rain at the first blackhawk this year. YTAK1 must of ran really well beacause he called me after he got home from Gingerman just to show off a picture of himself he bought at the track where his elbow is inches off the tarmac. What a freaking show off! Too bad he's not nearly as fast as his picture looks  ;)

the 10 second rule does not apply on the BBS for it's almost impossible for me to post a comeback within 10 seconds of your post. With that being said... I think I'll leave the TZ at home at the next blackhawk and bring my 78 Goldwing so that I only lap you twice during the 7 lap practice. :)
