Title: Road America role call
Post by: GSXR RACER MIKE on April 11, 2004, 02:11:55 PM
     Well it's only 2 weeks till the CCS/FUSA event at Road America so I figured it was time for the roll call, what classes everyones running (Sat/Sun or both), and what days they will be there?

     I am planning on driving up to RA early Friday morning and staying thru Sunday early evening. I am planning on just practicing on Friday then watching the races that afternoon. I am pre-entered in the HWSS, HWSB, ULSS, & ULGP classes for both days and should be riding my '02 GSXR 750.

     I'm putting together a fund to purchase some good weather for that event, so if you would like good weather also just send me as much money as you can afford and I will see what I can do!  ;D  ;)

     Good luck to everyone and I hope it's a safe event! :)

...

Be glad to lend a hand if you need, just pit close to the Tourdot Racing pits. I do plan on having a Hangerover on Sat, the level of hanger over will depend on how well we do in the TC

As far as the kill switch goes... I make no promises  ;) These things happen... to no fault of your own!  :o

QuoteGoing up Friday for practice,camping at the marsh,pre registered for ULGP Sat,ULSS on Sun.I was looking forward to racing against you in ULGP Xian(the whole rival thing)whats up ???

Like I said, I am up in the air about ULGP...
Main reason is, I don't know if the TC is going to kick my butt or not (planning 3 hours of racing on Friday).
Other reasons are, RA is not a Skills track, its a Dragstrip with a few turns... My 5 y/o 600 will be really out classed out there, even in the MW classes.
If I can make my personal goal of a 2:22 on the new layout.. you better believe I will be racing Sat and Sun ULGP ;D
If nothing else... I am sure to see you  in the paddock.

And don't forget...

I will have "Super Dave's Race Against Childhood Cancer" T-shirts at Road America.

As part of my racing program for 2004, and beyond, I am raising funds for pediatric cancer research.  The funds that I raise go to Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer.  

And it seems as there has been a question about this...no, they are not supporting my program, but they are the recipient of the funds that I am trying to generate.

Your support is appreciated! 8)

Team Stumpy will be at RA in full force.  We will be making some sticker deliveries so if you need anything, now is the time to let Stumpy know!

Fair warning--there's going to be LOTS of Stumpy fans from da U.P. down der.  Enough to justify a pasty dinner!

I'm in on the weather fund.  I'll need to sell some stock first, though  ;D.

     Stock gearing works well at RA, and is definately a good starting point. Some people go up or down 1 or 2 teeth in the back at RA, depending on bike and riding style.

I'll be there.  It will be my inaugural expert weekend.  I think I have teradactiles in my gut.  I went and signed up for GTU/GTO and FUSA Sportbike/Superbike.  I like RA so, my goal is to first qualify, then shoot for a top 10 finish or better to get my money back and score some AMA Expert License qualifying points.  Since this track is on the AMA schedule, I suspect a lot of those boys to come out and play.  Let's do it.  Hey I'm a racer, so I'm going to race.  Look at the quote under my avitar.

In any case, I am excited and look forward to the challenge.  Wish me luck.

Thanks for everyone that has given me advice and chose to sponsor my teammates and I.  In particular, I would like to thank:

Left turn out the main gate of the track.  Drive 3 or 4 minutes to get to Elkart Lake.  The road curves right and comes to a 4-way stop.  Turn left.  Drive through town.  (a few short blocks.)  when the street turns a 45 degree uphill right past an old barnlike building on your right, turn left instead.  Seibkins is a block down on the left, a big old wooden white building.  Parking lot across the street to your right.  Enter bar.  Register.  Drink.  Tell lies.

Eeeesh, the reinforcements won't be arriving until Friday/Saturday.  I can bring my wiener dog--he loves to cuddle!

We'll be crashing at the gate tonight, too--probably pull in between 8:00 and 9:00 tonight. I'd offer you some floorspace, but I think we're already full!
