We're slow huh? Well, I wonder why....

[chris_chops]

Matt,
I know you're going to be extra fast this year....you don't have to rub it in. No problem on the #8, it'll look good on your bike.
It'll be a tough year for sure, i counted 10 guys that are going to be super fast.......i just hope i can stick with all you fast boys.

Your modest.  Don't you have a #3 plate to replace the #8.  I would never try to rub anything in on you, dude!  Thanks for the superfast props, comin right back at you.
I'll be late coming out this year,   may or june, unless I find some cash quickly.  Are you running AMA superbike with the 1000?

Matt

Tez,

I think I'm just gonna ride the R6 and work on improving the carbs.  After riding Russ Voight's bike I know there is a huge gain to be made in midrange.  I actually set my fastest lap time on his bike at Blackhawk and wasn't really comfortable on his bike, it's just the thing had so much bottom end.  I couldn't believe it.  I'll have my bike up for sale this year so I can go buy an 03 R6 or something.

 Focus baby!!
    And Dave, quit taking credit for Monte's setup.  He told me he changed everything back after you went to the brat-hut. :P

LOL!
 :D

[TZDeSioux]

Maybe you all should get a 250 GP bike and run the AMA 250GP series where there are zero full factory efforts. Even Rich Oliver has to buy his TZ. Granted it's almost impossible to break into the top 8 or so but a real good rider on a 250 should be able to manage it.  ;)

Matt.. the hell you mean you're getting started in May or June? Does that mean I'm going to be going to all the races before that alone since Wuytack, Risinger, and Janisch is running WERA nationals? Squirrel doesn't have a bike to race yet.. Krauss is a broke son of a biatch and won't be racing. I'm just going to have to convince Kuntae and Boyd to come racing. Damn.. I need to find some new racing friends.

Hey Rev,  I'm going to be at the races.  You can always pit with me, especially since I will be bugging the hell out of you with two-stroke questions.

How do you plan on getting to the track?

Now my $.02 on the subject:
Why don't we support more of our local racers participating in the prime-time AMA races.  You know get t-shirts and signs made up, organize our pits into large oasises to showcase who we are.  Even better - share speed secrets.  8)  Team up like Ben and Miguel have done at Daytona and use the draft to increase the qualifying positions for the start of a race.  Basically, if we can't beat the factory team, we can damn sure beat all of the privateers trying to come to our house and claim it as their own.  

Last year, I enjoyed being able to help out Tez and Weeden when I could.  I'm sure more of our riders would have appreciated that kind of attention.  

We could even expand this into recording split times and video.  Anything we could do to help them analyze what they are doing, and even having some information on what others are doing, should only help them go faster.

Sean.. I will be getting to the track the same  way i've been getting to the track. My suv and trailer. Except no more rinky dink 5X6 trailer. I got me a 6X12. Since you're going to be at BHF on thursday... save me a spot. I will be rolling in friday.

[motomadness]

Sure thing.  I just hope you have something in that trailer to race with.

[Jeff]

So Tez,

Did the $$ support of as near to factory as you can get make that much of a difference?  I'm not trying to be a d1ck, I just want to know how much faster you're going now than you were before...

First of all, you gotta have a wire lose to race a motorcycle on your knee, that means all of you are nuts. Second, you gotta have a lot of HP and a good set up to do well in a national at RA. I don't care who you are, or how big your bizalls are. Come out of 14 side by side with a factory guy and look at him leave you like he just stole a million dollars from you, poof..... he's gone. If you don't have factory HP and suspension, you will not do well (top 10) in a national. If you don't chase the guy in front of you like he just stole one of your bizalls, you'll suck. If you don't set up the chasis well, you will suck. I've seen some club guys run in the corners almost as fast as the factory guys only to get blazed on the straights. I wonder why?
At least me and Weeden had the bizalls to try and race against the factory guys. But we had neither the HP nor the suspension to keep up.......simple as that. Plus they have bikes that look like ours, but they are TOTALLY different. My shock cost $1,200, Aaron Yates shock cost $18,000 and that's on a 600 ss bike. And he's got the WHOLE factory supplying him with any special part that he needs to beat you VERY easily......parts that you can't get. Now, as far as the privateers go......and I won't say any names,  they cheat so much it's ridiculous and they still get beat down like some Ho's that are hidin the money from their pimp. Think I'm bitchin? Come talk to me after you've entered a national. You will be humbled. Guaranteed.
I'm sure everbody knows who Doug ( former recent AMA superbike champion, former Moto GP rider ) Chandler is. Well, look what he did in the so called "slow" CCS races at Daytona this past weekend. He was riding a so called factory "supported" honda, and he got his ass bent ova.
Doug Chandler is a super talented rider by the way.
When he road for the "factory" Kawasaki team he kicked alot of ass in the 600 class. HMMM.......I wonder why? Maybe it's a combination of rider and bike? Wonder how he would have done on a full "factory" honda......Case Closed.

So Tez,

 Thats a very good question????? The jordan semi does look sweet though but whats up with the clothes the crew wears?

[Super Dave]

I think that Tez had a broken collar bone from the CCS stuff.

Tez didn't have any off season testing.

One of the biggest things about Daytona is LEAVING Daytona.  It hurts leaving Daytona when you're body, bike, championship points, and pocket book are completely drained.

Was Eric Bostrom a serious contender for the AMA National Superbike Championship this year?  Yeah, but after the problems they had, Mladin will be hard to catch.  

For Tez to completely gel with his crew in a matter of a few days...well, it's going to be different.  

[K3 Chris Onwiler]

Jordan's team really WAS building the bikes at Daytona.  It had only been a week or so before that they even got the bikes.  Tez hadn't seen the bikes before he got to Florida, and he was riding a borrowed bike in the CCS stuff, so he only had a couple of practice sessions to learn the bikes, have the crew de-bug them,  and set them up before his races.  Plus he was hurt.  He still managed to move forward from his starting positions.  I imagine that things will get better for the Jordan effort as time goes by.
 ;) Still, it IS kinda funny to see you guys callin him out... ;)
Just make sure it's not motivated by jealousy.
