John Hopkins on Wind Tunnel

[GSXR RACER MIKE]

     I just turned on Speed TV and Wind Tunnel with Dave Despain is on and he's interviewing John Hopkins about his GP Racing so far. Their doing the interview, and viewer call in, at Daytona Speedway in the Media tower by the podium. Glad to see something other than NASCRAP on Speed TV! :)

Het Mike,

John has big ears ;D
I thought that I was scrawny...he's built like Brenden Hafner ;D ;D ;D

How come you weren't at Daytona?

What's sleep?  :)
I have to be to work at 5am and then work till 4:30pm everyday, so this is the time I have to use the web.

I saw John Hopkins race at the ROC in '99, he was untouchable! I spoke with John Ulrich (Road Racing World) for a while at Daytona USA that weekend and he said that Hopkins was about 130 lbs with all his gear on! No wonder he is fast!

As far as Daytona goes, the spring event is not beneficial to me for anything other than season warm-up, and on top of that it's expensive, that's money better spent on my upcoming season. :)
