Brian Long won everything there was in the PAC and SW regions for several years.   Kane Lasky was unbeleivebly fast a couple of years ago, then took a break.   I notice he's back this year, I haven't seen him race.    

I thought brian was the fastest guy I had ever seen on an SV, but Zoran beat him once at Willow.   I know Z is mostly retired now, but i bet he was hella fast back in the day.

There's always Mark Ledesma, owner of track records here in the SW.   He's a sometimes AMA guy.

Nicky Moore.

QuoteAnd you have no idea that the guy on the #1 bike is a fast young dude...  ;D

Hehe.... my bad!  He was talking about Ed though!

QuoteYes Ed, I said lurking....     ;D

Here's a reply I received from above mentioned person......

QuoteLurking has such an unsavory connotation. I'd prefer "surreptitiously monitoring data transmissions".

LOL!!!!

Yeah, Kane is entering most all the races in a weekend and winning almost all of them, against the likes of Moore and Ledesma, and fast ASMA guys like Shreve or Mathaison.  That is when he doesn't loop out his ZX-10 down the front straight with a mutiple-second lead on the second or third lap of a race...(oops...did I type that out loud?)

You know, I nearly think you did :)

Organizations don't make racers.

Racers are racers.  They are not owned by organizations.

There were lots of names tossed around of some fast guys.  And many did AMA PRO stuff before.  Mike Smith was a factory rider with Honda in the early 90's.  Jensen was an AMA regular, before giving up on it and racing for contingency money and then going back to the AMA.

He races WERA and CMRA stuff.  Conrad was an AMA Pro National Champion.  Key was an AMA Pro regular on 250's.  Denning has had AMA offers, but he makes more money chasing contingency.

AMA?  Just a matter of getting enough points to buy the license and you go forward from there.  You're probably gonna need money unless someone you know has money to support you.  The AMA is "the show".

CRA used to do a performance-indexed exhibition race for charity with multiple classes that got all the fast guys from the lightweight, middleweight and heavyweight classes into the same race.

Basically, they took the top 5 finishers from the three major trophy dash (equivalent of GT races for CCS) events and figured out the average lap times for each class winner. Each of the three waves would be started off (slowest to fastest) with timed gaps between them so that, theoretically, all three classes would reach the finish line at the end of the race at about the same time.

Those races were cool. Just imagine Ed Key clicking off his best laps on his SV, knowing that, say, Brian Hall and Dave Ebben were closing in on their 600 and 750 bikes.

I think it would be cool to try for the Wegman Weekend...

Yeah, that's it. I couldn't remember the name. And I haven't raced CRA since 2001. Do they still do it?

I mentioned the idea of having a race like this to Bill F. once and he dismissed it due to his concern over closing speeds. I've never raced a 750 or 1000, but at Blackhawk, I'm not sure it would be a big issue. Especially since the riders on faster bikes would know they were running up on slower bikes.
