haha, that's my b-day. gotta love the cr crew.

sounds like a winner! Depending on how mid-ohio goes and how much $$ i have, i may end up goin to the WERA GNF the next week 10/11-15, but i'm def. down for a celebration party for both of our 2-wheel successes.

if you really dont get that aggressive then yea. I personally am a Pirelli man through and through. I have takeoffs for 120/70/17 fronts and 160/60/17 rears. i know the rear wont work but if the front does then you could just get a rear to go with it. these are the Pirelli Dragon Supercorsa Pro DOT race tires, supersoft front and medium rear.

Just saw the episode of Unique Whips with your ride. Damn, son, that's some nice shit. And you are one big sumbitch! keep up the good work and keep us informed about any new toys.

that's awesome! glad to see another soon to be racer. i personally liked joliet, atleast the course we ran. although it was pretty wet/slippery. i'd like to run it again in the dry. have him get on the WERA BBS. just go to www.wera.com and click on the wera bbs.

haha, thanks. mid ohio's gonna be a crazy weekend. I've gotta step it up a notch if i wanna get a win there. i'm really shootin for one of those pretty #1 plates and the trip to Vegas for the AMA awards banquet would rock. Next year's gonna be difficult with me bumping up to expert...

Well everyone, I just returned home from a weekend up at the Sledges. Saturday was the Solo 20(20 lap endurance) races and the clouds poured open on us for both morning practices. Track dried out for 1 race before more of the wet stuff. Come time for my race (lightweight solo) and the track is drying but still wet. We all decided to run full rains... whoops! The track was completely dry within minutes of the green flag. I pulled into second place overall, 1st novice and proceeded to rip away from the field lapping second place...twice! made a few bucks for that. Today is the WERA points paying Sprints. I raced HWT twins superstock and ran with the 1000cc twins on my lil 650, actually keeping up with the lead pack of experts before missing a downshift and allowing a novice ducati by on the inside. I took 2nd place but felt good for the upcoming sprints. In Formula 2 i continued with another amazing start. I shot up into the top 5 experts and put a sizeable lead on my novice counterparts. Within a few short laps I was 3rd overall chasing two of the fastest SV riders in the country Mr. Doug Duayne(sp) and Chris Parrish. I was able to keep on chris' tale and then keep him in sight. Lap traffic played a factor as 2nd place novice caught up on the last lap, but couldnt quite make a move through the traffic. In my 3rd and final race I ran Lightweight Twins Superstock. Two wave race. With another amazing start I ripped off a 1:14 first lap and put a big distance on the field and passing quite a few experts. Took it easy the last few laps and won by over 6 seconds. All in all this was a great weekend that was a huge turning point for me. I finally clicked off some 1:13 laptimes at nelson and hung with some of the fastest SV riders in the land not to mention finally beating my two main rivals straight up....and by a lot! It's off to Grattan racetrack in Grand Rapids, Michigan next weekend where I hope to make up for my 2 crashes that happend last time i was there...

sounds like a great time! too bad i had to be up at nelson all weekend. it actually turned out to be really nice for sunday, although saturday was another story.

yea she's absolutely gorgeous. def. my kinda girl.

dont worry, the camaro will be back soon.

if you wanna hit up a track, Sunset Ramblers up in galion is a nice very quad friendly place. also if you quad guys need any parts,maintenance, or engine building, just let me know. my buddy owns ATV Unlimited and we just opened Balls Out Racing LLC which is our engine building/servicing business.

i'm gonna try to make it since i bailed on the sunday program for #1. just depends on if there's a MX race goin on and how much cashola i've got

truer words have never been spoken. It sucks that it takes the loss of a close friend/relative to make you realize some things. That's what happend with me, I always lived in the future, saying how i was gonna do this and gonna do that. Now i'm just out to live my life and have as much fun as i possibly can. Condolences to everyone who has lossed someone recently, it really is getting pretty bad this year. Listen to pops, he's got the experience and knowledge far beyond our own.

yea #87 is a buddy of mine. Taylor Knapp. we race the WERA NC region together when he's not runnin AMA.

sorry guys, wont be able to make this one. gonna be racing up at Nelson Ledges.. kill a few for me.

i'll be running Lightweight twins superstock, Formula Lightweight, and Lightweight twins superbike. I mite also be running Heavyweight twins superstock, but those straights at mid-o are killer on my lil 650. depends on my points lead for WERA at that time. i think currently my lead is over 30 points in that class.

where was the machine at? i only stayed up there sunday. it was nice to meet ya'll. ended up ridin some mx on sunday instead of goin back up, though.

yea, his family was a friend of a friend type of thing. just heard about it the other day. he was riding a wheelie and lost it.

+1 on that.

yea i totally agree. looks GREAT. keep it on two wheels though

hey john, send me your cell #. if you want you can come back to my place in centerburg sat. nite. it makes for a much shorter drive, plus we can booze it up even more!

let me know when you go there! cuz i wanna be there to see this... :twisted: the sucky part about that trackday being on the 25th, is that i'll be there the 22-24 for the AMA RRGC. so i'll just have to win a national championship or two and let you guys know my times when you get back from the monday trackday. 8)

what kinda bike is he riding? let me know when he'll be goin up for another trackday. i'm tryin to get in a day before the RRGC but i think there arent any. i can give him some pointers, help him out. i was there for the first time earlier this year and went 1.45.2 on a sv650.

i mite be able to get someone to buy this larry. i'll work on it.
