Title: Barber Roll Call
Post by: tzracer on August 05, 2004, 04:01:06 PM
Ok, so who is going?

My wife and I are going. We will be dragging Jason D'Amico and Kim Olsen with us. We will be meeting up with Mark, Jane, Megan Stiles and Doc and Chris Stein.

Jason and I will be trying to better our 2nd (in class) in Team Challenge at Road America. I am also going to give the FUSA Thunderbike race a try.

I think the better question is who WON'T be going.  LOL  I and speedster_1 (Donald) will be there in butt kicking fashion.  ;D  I'll be there Thursday

Kim Olson...I presume that's KBOlsen?  Cool, I'll finally get to meet ya!  

I can't wait for this weekend.  It should be some great competition all the way around!!!

  I know how you feel Mark!!    I've got an idea, you and I can go to Great America and get on one of the roller coasters in our leathers, I'll sit behind you for the first half of the ride and then we can switch.  Would almost be the same as if we were there!   ;D ;D  ;)

Paul says that the 'Superman Ultimate Flight' ride at Great America gives you the same feeling you get just before you crash....  Plus they take your picture too (for only $15.99)

Wouldnt miss it Clay.. been watching the "ROadrace" dvd for hours. Feels like ive been on the track for as many laps as Jennings! (NOT).. BUnch of us FL boys comming up. Pretty excited about ELEVATION change. The most elevation change ive had (on a road bike) is the transition to the banking at DaytonA! Perhaps my dirt bike days from the late 80s early 90s (yea, im that old) will serve me well!

Jeff! Perhaps ill see Nicoles "blonde locks" out the back of her helmet in the Team chlng lt wt race.. im the "B" team if a buddys friend cant make it.. never rode an SV.. heard they are "sissy bikes".. ;D ;D
Scuba Steve is sure to give me crap about that... ;D

Hey Nick, dont bother coming man. I dont want to feel bad for handing your a$$ to ya. LOL Then I will have to worry about what you have done to the parts your always shipping me. It will be good to get the KC boys down here in the south to kick a little butt. I know you and your buddies, Howlie boyz, the Halls, and the Swans are coming down on weds. but who else? You guys tring to invade us down here or what? Do me a favor and remind Greg about the oil and filter. I will be there about 6:30 opening a beer, see ya then.

Oh ya, its not that bad of a drive, only about 10 hours. I made it to Atl. when I moved with three bikes on the trailer and the blazer loaded in 12 and a half hours and I was only going about 80 to 85 mph.
Title: Re: Barber Roll Call
Post by: Spooner on August 08, 2004, 09:14:06 PM
Hector and the MC racing guys are coming with us as well.  Which oil did you want us to bring?  I will snag it when I am at the shop tomorrow and put it in the truck.  Gregs rolling out thursday with the wifey.  Are you staying at the track or a hotel??  Oh, and I am bring the tow rope with me so I can keep you in sight! ;D

Post by: Photo_Chick on August 09, 2004, 06:13:17 AM
I'll be there with my crew.  I feel so bad because it's only a 3 hour drive for me.  Everyone drive safe, it's a beautiful track for those who haven't been.

Greg, we are leaving Wednesday morning for Thursday practice. Wait till you see Nicole's Aprilia and the latest "paint scheme" in honor of her Barber sponsor, you will surely get a laugh or two....hey, their money is just as green as Factory Aprilia right?....  :o

As for the TC, it will be tons of fun. We did the TC at Daytona in February and had a blast aboard Nicole's RS250, sure I looked like a gorilla screwing a football while racing but who cares. It was graet fun until a MV Augusta clipped me going up Turn 1 (no one's fault) and  ended our day....what a blast ;D

...and we will be "showcasing" our new rig/trailer combo......

life is good.....
