QuoteI might ride an incredibly fast 748 in MW GP or MW SB up there...not sure yet, and I'd be coming from the back.

Can a 748 beat the 600's at daytona? I didnt think they made that much hp even well tuned. Well the 636 may have less of an advantage there because top end wins. So if a bike is well tuned, well geared, and well raced may prevail. I have given up my regional championship hopes, and I will just get enough points to stay in the first 3 rows and hope for a good race and maybe come out on top, or a podium is even very nice...

r6philly.. im in the same boat with you for now. Racing a 22,000 mile 2000f4. It was my 1st bike that i rode on the street, then turned track bike..Gonna be cool to "feel the powaaaa"
Your right though, even the older machinery can be made pretty competitive if you pay attention to gearing, keep good tires on the thing and just stay aboard!..Do you race down here in FL????

I am in Mid-Atlantic, 2nd overall and 2nd in most MW classes. I was gonna try for a regional champion but the incident at summit point kinda put it out of question. I can ride, but not 100% and the cost of the crash and consequences is going to stop me from going to roebling and barber, so I will be down 2 events.

I raced at Daytona last spring, and this spring. I love the track, and have my own understanding and setting for the track. My bike was very underpowered this Feb, but I manage to lead 3 laps, held a 1-2 second lead for a while, until they drafted each other and caught up to me. My bike made about 95 HP but I was catching up and beating people to the line :) But I already raced against Mulvaney, Meyers, Diaz, plus our own Hector. I want to get grided up front, because if people raced as they did in the spring, I am sure I can hold them off and win a race. I was real close in Feb  ;) ;D

We're gonna find out how fast that 748 is in the Team Challenge.  It makes over 100hp.  Only a small chance of riding it in the MW classes right now anyways, but as long as it stays together in the TC, I'll be on it for Supertwins.
