CCS MW at Gateway???????

[Super_KC124]

That would be awsome! I had a blast this weekend. Anyone remember what times Ed Key was running the last time CCS raced there?

(Sorry again Dave)

faster than we were going thats for sure. If i remember correctly i think i heard low 10's(dont qoute me on that), and if i know Ed he was only going as fast as he needed to go. Torwards the end of the weekend getting into the 11's would have been pretty easy, but it sure does get hard to finding those extra tenths once you get down there(especially when you are 6'5 230lbs on a 74 hp sv). If i remember right, you (KC) were on the yellow sv, i was the AM chasing you guys up front, had a blast and you guys were moving. I think I may have been able to get by spooner and the buell guy to try and run with you but i didnt want to mess up your guys race with my ego. Anyway had a great time hope to see you guys at someother events.

It was a ton of fun... Did the crash truck even roll at all on Sunday?

Was that you that got all loopy at the race start, i thought for sure the truck was gonna come out for that stuntin' on the front straight at the start but you jumped back on the bike and rode the hell outta it (even with your meatball!) for that race and a few more... good job!

Who me?......  yeah, that was my bonehead move.  I bet you and the grid marshal were thinking  "It's going to be a looooong day!" LOL!

From now on I'll leave the stunting to Speedballer. 

Thanks for the props.

[d!ll]

Yeah, me AND the grid marshall... are one in the same....

It was a sight, glad it turned out like it did though -those events at the start can get UGLY quick!

Keep that shiny side up!

ps if I recall correctly we almost had an encore after the meatball in the hot pits

[r1owner]

Nah... I had the meatball one under control!

The dude was originally in my spot on the grid.  When I rolled up the 3 board was showing.  At that point, should I somehow get the starters attention to let him know and we can legally move?  I wasn't about to move once I came to a complete stop.

[d!ll]

If I saw that you two were adjusting (as I half expected)I would have waited -and the starter ain't startin' shiznit 'til I give him a 'clear' signal 8).  While I work to get the grids settled and accounted for as quickly as possible (to get the race going) I don't want the racers to feel rushed.  Those numbered boards theorectically represent minutes and I have no problem with them being played out to their fullest.

[r1owner]

Cool, thanks for the info... next time I will be waving if there is someone in my spot!

No way! You were in MY spot! 

I was the green bike next to you that had one of the better seats in the house for the looping demo. I was first to that row and just lined up about where I thought the rightmost slot would be. As soon as you slid in on my right I looked at d!ll (the grid sheriff) and shook my head "no" and pointed at you and me and gave him the back and forth "we are supposed to be reversed" sign. But alas it was too late. When you looped it I thought "Wow, that guy had a great idea to get the race redflagged so we get a restart and won't get meatballed! Why didn't I think of that?"   

That was my first meatball and it was kind of cool. At Gateway you hardly lose anything getting a stop and go. AAMOF I didn't lose a position with the stop and go. Finished 5th.

I obviously didn't get to see you pick up your bike and keep going but I think it is WAY kickass that you did. We lined up on the same row in a later race and you walked away from me.  I got into the 11's fairly consistently late in the day so I'm pretty happy with my first time there. Maybe next year we can give you locals a bit more of a race.

I would of gridded between you two, but there wasn't enough room to be safe IMO, especially with my history of launches at Gateway! :)

Yeah, that was F40 (I think) where you were giving me the "keep it lower" sign before the start! LOL

You're right about the stop and go at Gateway.  As I was doing about 100 down pit road, I kept asking myself if they had imposed a speed limit on pit road.  I pulled a pretty good wheelie out of there too!
