Post by: hernan52 on July 07, 2008, 11:10:01 AM
Four races...... four wins.

Thanks to Ben, Dave, Jim and Tim for their support and prepping an awesome bike.
It was a great weekend.
Again, thanks guys. Couldn't be done without your help.

Man you were rocking. There was no way I could have come near you that weekend, even the A&T stickers didn't help! Great job, and thanks so much to both you and the Probst guys for helping me load the trailer

Thanks Wolf

I clearly remember a guy in the WERA forum "feeling sorry for the idiot that is buying the bike".

They probably saw Ben ride it and thought it was a slow bike!  Why don't you post up your results over on WERA and ask them whats up now?!

BTW, being totally sarcastic.

I won't go into too many details but someone pulled out infront of me on my way back to my pit.  It was either endo or t-bone a truck....so I went over the handle bars onto my head and shoulder with the tail section following me and smacking me in the back for good measure.  I've got a pretty good separated shoulder and quite a bit of swelling.

Glad you are alright Dan. Do you need a subframe now? Let me know and I'll fix you up.

My SS tried to kill me numerous times popping out of gear, missing gears and finding many nuetrals that shouldn't exist before it simply decided it had enough and the tranny came apart. The motor comes out this week for repairs and improvements before Gateway. Both my bikes had tranny problems? WTF I've never had this sort of problem in over 20 years of racing then two the same weekend?  :wah: Oh well that's racin'

Ok, now I feel bad.....joking when my buddy Dan got hurt.  Sorry man, hope it doesn't hurt too bad.

a real old racer once told me "even a rocket won't do you any good if you can't ride it".

If you keep picking on the young kids there not going to let you play anymore!  :spank:
Great week end H. congrats :thumb:

Mongo, the guys (or maybe just guy) talking smack about the bike in the for sale thread last year were of the non racing, non knowing a fucking thing type. With as many people that tell you how to do your job, im sure you know the type  :biggrin:

And great job Hernan, you did exactly what you had to and the bike ran great. I think I was more excited about your wins than any of mine. And there is nothing more gratifying for the mechanic (me) than hearing half of the class complaining about how fast the bike was. I was really sorry to have the head gaskets start to head south, 8 race wins would have been great. Both of the bikes will be ready for blackhawk, and im sure I can get some more horsepower out of the blue bikes heads, and the green bike should be back to its sv rocket status shortly.

Roy, I still remember how you kicked my ass at BHF.

It's hard to tell how much I enjoy being around (and competing) with you guys.
I don't know what type of camaraderie exists in other classes, but LW rocks!
What a great bunch of guys!

See you all at BHF

I still can't believe that you pretended to break the green bike during the TC just to mess with my psyche. I think you know I have your # @ BHF in a few weeks, and you're employing your devious treachery on your teammate, fercryin'outloud! Just so you know, DNF's do not phase me in the least.

Seriously, thank you a thousand times over for helping me get back on the track; I couldn't have made it out last weekend without your help. Congratulations again on all your wins (told you so); it was totally awesome seeing you kick ass in the GT. I wish we could have stuck around and watched you on Saturday.

Also, thanks to the Probst Bros for all their help. What a great bunch of guys, and I could really get used to that pit board. Sorry again about the tank, and the rounders are definitely all on me next time.

OK, so it's on in a few weeks, New Blue vs. Old Yeller. Fear the Ducati (except when we ride it in the next TC. Then, Love the Ducati.) I will get you to ride a Duc yet...

Ahhh congrats Hernan you did one hell of a job this weekend. As far as that bike being fast, i think i dropped a S-bomb in my helmet when you rolled up next to me on the straight in the Superbike race, and i was also suprised at as soon as you came out of the draft we stayed right next to eachother, neither of us pulled an inch out, it was a dead heat going into one. Funnest race all year! I also want to thank Jon Gu for sticking on my rear tire the whole time LoL. I look forward to BHF in a few weeks and hope i can keep up and race with you again.

Eddie you're getting faster and faster every race. And you really have the power of the lord behind you with those starts! :P

Congrats Hernan, Jon, Eddie and Joel on a great weekend.

Eddie, I've prayed plenty about my starts, and they're still not as good as yours...

Hernan,  Fantastic race results!

You and Jim were just smoken in the TC.  So sorry it expired, but obviously no fault of the hard working fantastic Probst squad !

You had your head down all weekend, incredible lap times every race, consistant yet still have time for advice.

Thanks to you especially but also Roy, Jim, Mopar, John Gu, Murf, and the Probst lads for advice and assistance.
