Daytona amatuer supertwins

[251am]

Well, I was the third place finisher and this doesn't make me too happy. Granted, I felt I out rode 1st and 2nd place finishers but they had less weight to haul around. I'm an old fat guy. I was catching them big time in the infield and chicane but they would pull away on the banking. Dang youngsters!

Congrats on your ROC podium Chuck!






(Either 2nd or 3rd!)     :-)

I'm the 2nd place finisher in superturds, I'm far from young ( 35 ), 200 lbs. on a 8 yr. old 450 lb. 98.7 hp ( per Factory Pro dyno ) TL1000R. I don't think I had much of an advantage. LOL... This is my first year racing, with no trackdays prior, only Ed Bargy in 2001. But anyway, Travis Marshall has a pretty sweet 998R that's built, I think he said it has about 144 hp at the rear. Ya'll ought to check out his web site. Just google Travis Marshall and check out his photos ( White plates ). Congrats to all that attended Daytona. Maybe they will bump up our finishes Chuck.

I remember this guy.  He started racing about the same time I did, and he already had a lot of trackdays under his belt.  At this point, it is ridiculous that he would be anything but an expert.

As far as the guys that got 2nd and 3rd, I don't care what CCS decides, you are the rightful 1st and 2nd place finishers-Congrats and good job!

CMRA has a strange review process and how they advanced riders to expert that is unique only to them as far as I can tell. They advanced riders then came back just prior to start of season and said they were going to advance more riders to balance the grids (I think that was reason I heard on their BBS re 07 advancements),  Travis fell in this group, then required them to run expert races before determining the rider petition to remain Amateur. That is not CCS procedure as we review existing history prior to season starting so a rider can compete within the appropriate experience level, experts know a rider is up to par and Am are not competing against riders with expert talent/experience. As fully 1/4 of his races with CCS would have occurred prior to CMRA making a decision we had to make one prior to the season starting. When reviewing his finishes for 2006 it was apparent that he was an Amateur class rider with regard to his finishes and expeirence with CCS and with CMRA.
