Last lap of through the chicane before coming onto NASCAR turns three and four at Daytona.... Who do I see Miquel coming up behind? Our own Jesse Janish! ;D
Such a good boy, Jesse moved over and allow room on the inside for Miquel to go by. Miquel then waved as he passed Jesse (I've always liked Miquel). Then coming onto the banking.... Miquel slows up and waves to Jesse and another to catch the draft with him. I was hoot'n and hollering and throughly enjoying myself.
Congratulations Jesse on your 14 place finish. What a great job on the track!
Dawn ;)
Did you hear the anouncer just before they went to coverage of the 200....
"SuperCROSS winner Mat Mladin......." :-[
He WAS a NASCRAP announcer.
Yeah, I called Jesse right after. Of course I got his voicemail. That boy did pretty well all weekend! ;D
Congrats to Brian Hall, Dan Ortega (sorry you lowsided) and all the CCS/FUSA guys making the circuit! :D

That was cool as heck.
YA Congrats guys!!! and great job. Have a safe trip back! Safety First must have had a great pit stop

At one point in the last lap, the announcer (DeSpain?) said that the Facory Yamaha Team had done a good job getting Duhamel in and out of the pits.... Spencer covered it well, but I caught it.
We should have had Griff Allen in the booth! Go Griff!
Yeah, Jessie sure couldn't have been lapped at a more opportune moment! Sorry to see Dan fall off. I hit the pavement in exactly the same spot he did, but that was in 2002, and I was going the other way. Maybe he caught the divot that I left there? :P
Ah, my children...
Kevin Hanson 2001
Jesse Janisch 2002
Dan Ortega 2003
Brian Hall 2004
Very happy to have the opportunity to work with all of them. Some I worked with more than others. Good to see them there. Really wish that I could have come up with a way to pay for my own entry into the 200 and pound on them all... 8)
Good job, guys...
Dave you know you could have and better for Road America 8) 8) 8)
I know. I've got the RA AMA and the RA (Road Atlanta) AMA picked out.
Thanks!
I got the check for the leathers, etc.
Might be going to MAM in early April. Maybe I can drop them off?
14th in the 200 that was great. Congrats to Jes, Kev and all of the Saftey first crew job well done.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAYY!!!!!!!!
Midwest racers just freakin' rule.
Congratulations, everybody!! Yer mah heroes!
Absolutely! I was thrilled to see Jesse so far up in the pack. 14 out of 72 starters... THAT is awesome.
Dan O... Dude... You don't need to crash for air time! ;-) Sorry to see you drop it twice...
So what happened to Robbie Jensen?
We really wanted to cheer him on to the bitter end.
Dan-O, I don't ever want to yell, "There's DanO!" when you are on national television on the back of a crash truck again! I don't think you'll argue with me on that one. ;)
I'd better not hear one complaint from anyone on "lappers". Only the top 3 were on the lead lap.
Great weekend of racing overall. I feel like it's Monday after Christmas!

Robbie crashed on the third lap...
QuoteRobbie crashed on the third lap...
Ugh. I was afraid of that.
He had a heck of a week, anyway.
K3 - send me a bill for the kind words - thank you, bruthu. If the bell rings with that, I'll be all up in it.
Yes, I caught the SX winner misstep.
Duhamel continues to elevate himself with humility and talent. The 'catch my draft' or 'unlap yourself' wave (whichever it was) earned a LOT of respect.
And I'm beginning to see a correlation here ... I think (in my sick, twisted, little mind) that MW racers who run the short, squirty, technical track of BHF as well as the massive, fluid, open-air windtunnel of RA tend to develop a very broad skill set that isn't as apparent in riders from other areas who don't have as much opportunity to ride such a combination of tracks. I think this is proving to be an asset.
Did that make sense to anyone else?
Way to make your paper, MW peeps - go on witchyo bad selves.
dave i still think you have more to teach me
when can we play together again
nesba in april before ra?
QuoteI know. I've got the RA AMA and the RA (Road Atlanta) AMA picked out.
I will be cheering you on at both hopefully. I live about 1 1/2 hours away from Road Atlanta.
RA?
Not my favorite track, but...
NESBA hasn't been kind to me. However, http://www.trackaddix.com has. They have the track on Wednesday.
To do it, I need a new job first. Working on that.
sorry i was talking about blackhawk before the ra race
dave if you didnt live so far away and didnt take as much time off at work as i do id hire you
QuoteI will be cheering you on at both hopefully. I live about 1 1/2 hours away from Road Atlanta.
I'll be there for the AMA National...
But we're talking about Road America... 8)
Quotesorry i was talking about blackhawk before the ra race

I'd hire you too, baby... :-*
Maybe Audi will build an electric car that would make the short commute cheap...Ok, I don't want to think about Audi electric cars.... :-X
BFR before RA? Ah... See the NESBA thing. But we are working on a MAM thing for April 10th...
Quotedave i still think you have more to teach me
Like how to write "Come and buy an Audi" ;D

I think they cancelled the Wed date.
I talked to trackaddix about two weeks ago and they did cancel the wed date for RA....
LOL, thanks, Jim...and Chris...
Glad someone is keeping me in the loop...ahhh!
Yeah, I heard that the track ended up giving the wednesday date to a car event! SUCKS!!! I was really looking forward to a trackaddix day before the FUSA round!
What? All that arguing for nothing?? :P
