We had a great Weekend at GIR with a lot. Alot of new racers this Weekend trying out the tires. I think that we had 8 first places this Weekend and a lot of others in the top three. With the Continental payouts everyone had a pretty cheap tire Weekend too. Looking forward to working with everyone at RA in July. I will be racing at this event so don't plan on getting so many first places. :spank: HEHE It was great bing at the track with so many great people. Thanks again

Ah... wouldn't that mean 1st place is wide open... :biggrin: ... and what about 15th would be locked up.
Nice job this weekend Rodney. You are a great ambassador for the product.
Thanks Dustin and thanks for letting me borrow your big cones. As for you Jason why don't you come out and play.hehe

Rodney,
Was great seeing you out there, buddy! FYI- I LOVED the Conti slick set up. The rear carcass is a little softer than the B-stones I am used to, but after a few laps, I felt right at home, and they offered good grip, and really good feedback. Can't wait to test out these @ Road A. Speaking of which- if you are willing to make that pulled pork up there, I might be willing to smoke some St. Louis style ribs to go along with them.....
ROAD AMERICA BBQ!!!!!
The beer drinking continues..... :thumb:
Cheers,
Ski
I can do the Pork again foresure. Plus I am planning on grilling a Turkey that ends up like the pork did. I will be up there for 6 days if everything goes to plan.
I am glad that you enjoyed the Slicks. They do give awesome feedback to you.
I loved the feedback on the tires. I think I am going to steer away from the DOT fronts unless I'm running the SuperSport races. That lowside in turn 7 looks like it was a front-end washout. I could have been trail braking too much, also. Who knows? Regardless, I was rippin it up on the Conti's. I will definitely be rockin them again at Road A. See you there.

Way to go Rod, now if we can just spread that down to the South East.
We're still leading quite a few championships down here at the moment. One of our faster guys crashed at the last WERA Roebling round and broke his heel, another one got taken out in T2 @ Barber and broke his ankle.
Curt Woodard, Brandon Schwietzer, Jason Paudilla, and Allan Burley are all still racking up podiums on a regular basis.
Ive been getting some good results as of late.On my Ducati i switched to slicks med and ive been around .5sec avg a lap faster in a race.On my SV i got a med front and endurance rear and its been working real good.Well its been 90 deg or more for the last 3 weekends.
Almost all of the AM unlimited races at Road America were won on Continental. 5 first and one 2nd. He was running between 2:27 to 2:29
Hey Rodney, I think you can add a couple more Conti 1st places after this past HPT round!
oh yeah! 2 first places and a second in amateur middle weight. Even though continental didnt have any support there... I need tires Rodney!
what a joke HPT was, i just looked at all the result. WTF is going on I dont know how many 1 and 2 rider races i counted with several race only have 3.

No doubt. I just checked the results and can't believe the turnout.
I didn't go to RA or HPT for my lack of funds.
Same thing must be goin around.
Grids were weak, sometimes combining up to three and four races into one. I suspect because RA was one week previous.
Didn't matter, learned the track, got to see a bunch of friends, had a blast and drank some beer. Was all good :cheers:
