Just wanted to know what everyone thought of the LW Supersport race at Gateway this weekend (Oct 5+6).  For those who didn't see it, y'all missed a (i think) spectacular show.  And I am wondering what the people who saw it thought. (since i didn't see it first hand as a spectator).  But i do have to say it was fun as hades sliding on my @ss past turn one from the checkered, even though i docked to third from second for the red flag.

I saw the race (was a nail biter) from T3/4, but I guess I missed the best part....I think I heard it though ;)

Did it rain all day Sunday? I got there and it started raining and was cold so I just went back home. So did it turn out nice or was it nasty all day?

I'm sure yah heard the slide speedballer...it went forever.  I ground the right side case cover and the crank bolt head all the way off, along with the master cylinder.  But no broken levers or anything else. But strained some muscles this girl didn't even realize she had! :o
 And Brett, it got beautiful out later in the day.  The rain stopped, the sun came out and it was perfect.  You should have stayed to enjoy the show.  All the races were great...especially the gp singles/ULWsportsman race.  And obviously the LW supersport rain race! And oh was it a race. :-*

Yeah, we missed the seeing the T1 crash as I was standing there with Speedballer, but the race was awesome, with a lot of subplots (AM v EX, ages 15 through 50 (lol), M v F) that had everyone rooting for a favorite.

Best race of the year to watch at Gateway, imho.

Good luck @ Daytona!

 ???Is that twice in two weeks?  Thats a streak you don't need to continue!  Go out and fall over in the garage on the pit bike and get your third out of the way.  J.K.  Good luck at ROC ;D

You were running the tires off that bike Rhiannon!  I guess they finally fell off just past start/finish, eh?  Great race, I really liked watchin' ya out there!

Hey Nate,
               Ed HATES the rain and Rhiannon LIVES for it. BTW she crashed after the checkers. I'm so puuuuroud of my little girl. A chip off the ol' block. (Thank someone that's not true, she could push her bike and go faster than me). Give Roger props for teaching her all she knows about rain riding. That, and 30 miles one way to work on her street bike, every day, no matter the weather.

Do or do not, there is no "try".

I'm so glad my mommy's proud of me crashing in the rain ;D.  I so thought I had Key, but I backed off trying to be safe.  Dumb dumb dumb ::).  Well, this was an awesome year, and I'm so happy that my supersport race was a big hit.  Let's just hope it pours a ocean full of rain in Daytona for me, so I have at least a fighting chance with my 58 horsepower jalopy :P.  And there will be no more crashing, meatballs, or anything hindering my performance for Daytona.  That's a promise ;).  And Dave333, the tires are still on by a piece of safety wire :-*.

no, it is not going to rain in Daytona!!!!!  

It was a fun race, unfortunately I decided to exit a couple laps before the end.  Rhiannon was rocking in the rain, doesn't she know that a FZR can't run with SV's!!!!!

Now she just needs to do it in the dry!!!!!

HandleThis66

Hey Rod, I'll prove to you silly butt's yet that a clapped out FZR400 can keep up ;)  I thought I was gonna run you over in three, but you fell so perfectly and kept a great line off the track that I had no worries.  Great show.  Little bummed you ducked out so soon, though.  I have a weird feeling it's gonna be a little wet in Florida next weekend.  The more I do my rain dance, the better my chances get!  See you down there...hey when are you leaving anyways?  Talk soon - Rhiannon

Cant wait to dice with you in Daytona.   :)

We've had some good ones so far this year.

The race between Rhiannon and Wuytack at gateway in middleweight sportsman was awesome! That was some high quality racing. :)

HandleThis66

Jon, I do have to agree that our MWsportsman race in gateway was awesome. But the one at Gingerman was comparable.  Daytona is gonna be so much fun.  I entered all six classes to get as much dicing with everyone possible, and hopefully Key wil be included in that.  Not likely, but dreaming is always an option.  (it happened once, it can happen again!).  Jon, you're leaving Monday for the Hammer school?  Is Wednesday gonna be practice for us?  And thanks for noticing the sportsman race TZ.  It was fun.  Talk soon - Rhiannon

YTAK_Racing

Were heading down on Monday.  We're going to chill out on the beach and do some shark fishing off the beach.  We caught a few last year.  After I caught the first one in about 3 feet of water the boys were not in any hurry to get back in the water. :o

Team Hammer practice is Wen.  $150.00

See ya down there.
