[Super_KC124]

So how'd it go up north there, eh? Looked like you had good weather you know.  ???

[Xian_13]

Well I for one, hard a great time.

Weather was pretty good Friday-Sunday.

Turn 4 was a beast all weekend.

I was alot slower then I thought I was going to be...
Atleast my bike is running like a top now ;D

There was alot of old faces there.
Not to meantion, putting a few faces to board name, which is always fun.

C'ya all down there in a few weeks

Andy Feuer... crashed at least 3 times. Once in T4 his bike was at least 15 feet in the air and almost went over the spectator fence. He was ok, but he was not a happy boy. Denning, Conrad and Gill pretty much wiped up. Gill Highsided Ytaks 250 pretty hard at the entry to T4. Rung his bell but otherwise OK. GSXR Mike appeared to have a pretty respectable weekend, but we'll let him give a race report.

Ed Key won a bunch (surprise!), but had some electrical issues in the last race. Bernie did fairly well.

The Lithium guys did pretty well and had a lot of fun Saturday night.   :o ;) ;D

Fairly light turnout. Clean most of Saturday, Sunday was more crash happy.

Oh yeah, the weather was perfact and it was a blast!

 :D

Pretty much what Alexa said...

My weekend's Hero is a friend of a friend who pit'ed with us.  He's a newbie on an RC-51.  Ran the school on Saturday and went on to a 4th place in unlimited whatever on Sun and a WIN in super twins...

A win in the Learning Curves t-shirt... how cool is that?!?!

[StumpysWife]

Not ALL the LM crew had a LOT of fun Saturday, I must note!  The Polish contingent scared us off right to bed.

Stumpy had a good weekend.  Things were finally coming back together and we were pleased by the time we left.  He also got some good footage for Motovid during races.  We had to watch the DVD when we got home at 1:00am last night!

Andy, I hope you're ok.  That crash in the oil looked terrible.  It killed me to watch all those bikes go flying past the checkered flag into turn one and oil.  That was bad.  

See everyone Memorial Day weekend!

[GSXR RACER MIKE]

GSXR Mike appeared to have a pretty respectable weekend, but we'll let him give a race report. :D

     I did the GTO race on Saturday as a practice session more or less. Each season when I do the 1st small track event it seems like I will often times end up with arm pump the 1st day, but be fine the 2nd day, which was the case at this event. I had to come in after a number of laps because I couldn't really grip the bars anymore, kinda wild how it happens pretty much every season.

     Sunday I went out in the 1st race of the day and felt good on the track, though I was at the back of the Experts. I came in from that race feeling extremely hot and only had 1 race break to cool down till I was back out racing again. I went out in the next race and started feeling sick from the heat so I had to come in early. After that I couldn't race the rest of the day, kinda sucks I've been effected by heat like that my entire life. :-/

[Steviebee]

sounds like you need to try the training (jogging, riding bike whatever,  12 oz curls)  while having the heat on 85 and wearing a sweatshirt.  and not drinking water.

whoever said this
"What doesnt kill you, only make you stronger"

Your body will begin to get used to the hipo activity in the heat.


Or you'll have a stroke.   :(

I quit drinking so much water while working out, cause it just made me used to getting water while working out.  

[GSXR RACER MIKE]

     It's weird though about the overheating problem, I've had it all my life, no matter what shape I was in. As a senior in high school I was in excellent shape, working out everyday, 5'-10" 165 lbs. but I still was effected. I learned at a young age when I have to stop being active if I'm getting too hot. This is why you will see me only do a few laps in each class at some events during the season where the weather is really hot. I know my limits and when I am putting myself or others at risk because of it, so I will come in before it gets to that point.

     Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the event very much, I just have to deal with this. :)

[Steviebee]

that is weird.

I was too busy with 5 races on sunday to find you and say hi.
we all got our problems.  

my lower back  SI joints are screwed !!

[thunderracing91]

I finally did my first bike race.  Middleweight Supersport and Superbike.  That was a wake up call!!!  This bike racing is a lot different than my SCCA racing.  I love it and can say I am hooked.  I did acheive my 2 goals for the weekend, do not wreck and not finish last.  I did both with flying colors.  I cant wait for the next race at BHF at the end of the month!!!!!!!!!!

[DanO966]

Well it wasn't too bad but not too good ;)
I fell again.....
Did  a bunch of low 12s with some issues....but........
Brian was the local guy to beat....
Larry and Shawn were flying...
BUT the weather was good finally.....
