A couple of guys I recognize from the board deserve congrats!
Dafan Zhang
Mike Roeser ;)
Where did you find results?
Road Racing World's website.
Why is it that we have to go to other websites to find results of our races??
No comment. :-/
By the way, anybody in FL region keep track of the points since there is no other way to tell? I might be interested in doing it. Maybe I'll call Henry when he gets back.
hey thanks! I just got back 5 minutes ago. Did pretty well I think, led the Sportbike race for 2 laps until the eventual winner drafted me on the 3rd lap. My 99 R6 can't keep up :( I would get down to 1 second in turn 1 and at the chicane, but loose him on the banking. So is the story for the entire weekend. I was happy to get that 2nd though, Its my first top 5 weekend, and I actaully led at Daytona!!! Good feeling.
Hope everyone else made home safely. I lost my ATM card, my trailer lights, and one of my headlights. Took 30 hours and help from a friend to get home (I had no cash and can't get to my bank account). But all in all, as in Daytona fashion, it was exciting!

sounds like a pretty good finish!! nice one..
Don't forget the 3rd member of Kingpin Racing's drinking team, Mike Roeser! Congrats to him on a 4th place finish in HWSB!!!!

I was thinking the same damn thing.
[rant] I'm planning on going for SE points this year, and I'll be damned if I'm gonna pay this much to race, and have some half-a$$ed.... nevermind. [/rant]
I did something about it: I took pictures of all of the race results and posted them on my website. I'm planning on doing some OCR stuff and getting this into a more streamlined format (.xls or .mdb or .htm), but for now, you can check out the pics. (I'm planning on being at all the SE region CCS races -- so I should have results from those posted a day or so after we race ...)

What a geek... errr uhh.. good idea! I wish I had thought of that. ;-) BTW, Am Unl GP on Sunday was a CCS race, so you're missing one set of results to be "complete".

I had good luck too!!!
I found an ATM card, hired a shipping company, a limo to take me to the airport, where I took the Concorde home and was back the same night.
Ahhhhh....life is good. ;D ;D ;D

Right you are!! I mistakenly assumed (I know... I know... ASS U ME) that all the races on Sunday were FUSA. I'm just figuring out what I'm doing here so cut me some slack!! ;D
... and, for the record, Stu's the one that came up with the OCR idea...
Proud to be a geek!! ;D ::)
Rick

Sorry, but I have found that if you don't make light of a bad situation, it just compounds itself.
I went to SoW in February. I towed a 7000 lb Toyhauler with my Expedition. What should have taken me 11 hours took me 16. Not bad timing considering the 3 flat tires, including the spare, a stop for a really bad, but free used tire, 6 mpg, hense many gas stops and a dead battery. I missed the gates being open by a meer 15 minutes and had to camp on the access road for the night. Over the course of the weekend, I managed to go off of the track no less than 4 times. Twice at speeds over 100 mph, and once while taking out 7 grid position cones and almost three flagmen (only lost 1 position though ;D).
And the sad part is....I would do it all again in a heartbeat. 8)

LOL!!!
Perhaps you will like to invest in a NEW set of tires for your Expedition? By the way, how do you get three flats on one trip?
Dawn :)
Dawn-
Or he could do it your way and invest in 3 new Ford Broncos...
One breaks down oh well buy another!
:D

Is that why I have no money in my account anymore??? :P
I had a good time, even through the difficulities getting home. But I am not going back to Daytona without a new bike...
Trying to win a race with a 4 year old stock bike running pump gas was kinda fun. I learned how to back in to a turn, come out sideways all in one weekend, trying to hold on to that lead 8) but didn't matter, as soon as I got on the banking, it was over. The first thing my girl said to me when I came off the track was "You need a new bike" hahaha
hope everyone had a good time sunday. I really enjoyed riding in the rain except for my throttle grip sliding off the plastic tube during the GTU race. I was 3rd all by myself til halfway, about 3 seconds behind the leader and maybe 10 seconds in front of the 4th place. then I proceeded to drift backward and got lapped by the leader at the end of the race. so I lost about 2 minutes in 5 laps... I was sooooooo mad. I could have just ditched the grip, but I didn't think about it. So I lost my only chance for a check :(
Sounds like everybody had a blast....rub it in! And I only live 3.5 hours away. :( Oh, well..cash is king.

You were that close? should have come! racing in the rain was cool! I didn't get to ride my street bikes at all, took down 2 bikes, and didn't even get out of the paddock
Yo Dafan congrats on your finishes!! We all at VIR head about it when Gallo announced it over the intercom. Now I am kinda upset that I did not go this year :(. Must feel nice to have a 2nd place plaque that has DAYTONA on it! :)
Don't worry your not the only one that had a bad driving expierence this weekend. A normal 7 1/2 drive home from VIR turned into a 17 1/2 drive, my rides truck died on RT85 and we limped all of the way home only doing 35mph max speed.

Hey!!!!
I got a lead on a different car.... a Ford Tempo for $300.00 - 100,000 + miles, body OK and it runs good. We'll see.
OK, I'll say it. I'm cheap!
Dawn ;D

Thanks Bart, missed ya in the pits. I may see you at VIR next weekend, how you getting down there? going by yourself?
Well I am definately going down with one other guy in my truck & trailer or I might be going down with 3 other guys in there truck and trailer. I am not quite sure how we are going to work it out yet. If you need a ride I'll see what we can do. Where about in philly are you? We will be coming down 476 to Plymouth Meeting to 95.
Bart
What's going on at VIR next weekend?
QuoteWhat's going on at VIR next weekend?
Its a WERA regional weekend. I love riding at VIR and may go and race for fun.
Bart I gotta teach a class Sat morning, so I was thinking about coming to race on Sunday. I was talking to Glen, and trying to get him to come and race too on his F4... we will see. I do want to go, just have to do some extra stuff to my bike, like exhaust header and rear axle and stuff, go buy drill bits tomorrow
