Some ROC results

[Bam55]

Talked to my cousin (Benji "Lil'Thorny" Thornton) as he was leaving the track (ROC) said he  finished 4th in GTU and 3rd in MWSuperSport. He also told me Micheal Shallcross(Spelling?) finished second in GTO, great job guys, I will update when I hear more.
By the way, both Thornton and Shallcross are seasoned amatuers from Visionsports, looks like we are still able to show people some tricks, eh SD??

Yeah, they did do pretty well.  I'm happy.  Would love to see them do better too, if they can.  

I've been waiting for a call from all of them to try to get them up to speed, but sadly, they haven't taken the opportunity to call.

Have talked with Jesse Janisch about five times.  I think he's running the second fastest 600 times right now just behind Scott Greenwood.

A "seasoned" amateur doesn't sound good :-/

[badmonkey]

you know, salt and pepper...."seasoned"

[Super Dave]

Seasoned?  Honestly, Benji came to our school in August of last year and then raced that weekend.  So, this is his first full year of motorcycle road racing.

Mr Shallcross...Kind of tried for a couple of years hit and miss, but this year, he really put his head down.

If I can get them past making mistakes and get right into the meat of doing things right, I can cut down their learning and expense curve very quickly.  That's always what I tried to do.  Make it easy.  Really, the Visionsports' schools are geared more toward guys that know what the flags are and all;  we're trying to make them  exceptionably knowledgeable racers and riders.

Benji Thornton IS 2003 Sport Bike National champion!!!!!!!!! That would mean 1st place for all you unseasoned racers!
 Yes, I meant seasoned as in doing things right immediatly, Benj has a total of 8 weekends in motorcycle road racing.
 I will keep you updated!! Go Lil' Thorny GO!!!!!

Nice riding today Benji.. in hindsight it would have been fun racing with you but i told myself 2 races on a borrowed bike is all im willing to risk, i would have had my hands full again for sure just edging you out in the middleweight super sport for 2nd. True sportsmanship today when interviewed giving me props for not being out there with ya.. you really did not need to do that man, it was your moment, but a big thumbs up anyway. Next year?
