Dunno who this is @ Putnam,

These are the only track pix I downloaded off of my camcorder before it broke. I wish I had more....sorry guys.
If you have been to any of the Gateway trackdays on Friday, I have you on tape and will post all the Midwest CCS racers when I get my camera fixed.

KC124, Lonnie, Mike, Carrie, got a bunch of footage of you guys too.

thanks man! I'll check it out.

He's one of the fastest 600 amatuers for sure 8)
me? ...well, I'm a couple seconds off the pace lately :P :)

Rain isn't a freak occurance, Speedie, it happens when there is more water in the air than it can hold :)

Truth is, BMF, we both show up every weekend to try and settle that question and neither of us can. Speedie dominated weekend 1, my first race weekend ever ran on street tires. I got lapped :(

We split Weekend 2 but ran close. I was playing head games with him and he didnt't like it too much :P but hey, it was fair game after he lappped me!

I pretty much beat him by a second or more per lap after that, except those 2 rain races in Weekends 3 and 4. Well the last race we had a nice battle, he said heck with it its the last race and its for the money.

BUT!

Speedie was out there on a 3 cylinder motor and bent to hell frame. So l,ike I said nothing was "proved". I'm hoping this thread will piss him off enough to sell his first born to get a new frame :P

bmfgsxr · January 04, 2003, 10:30:28 AM

well, he really needs a new bike. i think he got a lemon of a gixxer from all the problems he had.... or wait... he just beats the fuck out of it and i dont think any bike could withstand the punishment he puts on it. ;D

but seriously, speed... you should just buy another bike. do what ever you have to do and keep your current bike for a spare(what ever might be still good on it :P ) next season (2004) we should all meet up on a neutral track and all have at it. :D

Actually, the only time my bike wasn't wobbling was when it was raining :)

Steve, seriously like I said before no problem w/ the head games bro. I was pissed that weekend cause it was my first weekend riding my cracked frame, and I was having a hard time mentally coming to grips with the way the bike was handling, and worries about it holding together underneath me. I was just super-stressed.
No problems between us...I don't mind clownin' each other during the weekend. "and you know this....mannnn" ;)

QuoteSpeedie was out there on a 3 cylinder motor and bent to hell frame

you mean bent and bRoKeN ;D

Here's the last of my track pix.
Like I said, I have pix everyone who has been to Gateway's Friday practice, and will be putting pix of everyone up as soon as I get my camcorder fixed...so expect to see yourself up here soon.
Everyone except KC124 that is, I lost all of your footage..sorry dude :-*
Well, and sdiver68's pix too...if he keeps beating me, that is :D

Up close...Borowitz cranking her over for Gateway's turn 6 decreaser

Too close ::) ...1/2 second before I accidentally slamm...I mean rubbed Dave Borowitz in turn 7.
Video clip of this is pretty cool...I'll post it up when I am not so lazy.

UFO hovercraft sighting...guy got right up, but took him about 5 minutes to get his bike out of the wet sand.

This guy needs no intro... 8)

Just for fun ;D ...my buddy crapping his pants at 50mph
I figured the squid haters would like this one :-*

If anyone has racepix of themselves on their pc, shoot me an email if you want me to host them online for ya.
