Daytona updates from this guy

[daviid]

ok, so from the perspective of the home viewer ... GMD/AMA/SPEED made a complete mess of this race. Who the hell does speed cut to a commercial on the last 5 laps, when they just had 20 minutes of yellow flags?!?!?!


UGH!

no shit that was bullshit

[daviid]

the tv broadcast said Wood 18th, Narbone 42nd

I like how they showed them trying to fix the bodywork on the buell for like 8 minutes...those guys suck with duct tape.

and alex you cut your hair you crazy SOB

[Pittenger5]

So ... Im just watching this now. How come Ducati gets 848ccs, Apes get 1000 and Buell gets 1185 or whatever? Is there significant weight differences and stuff? How come Ducati doesnt run the 1098 if the other two can have that many CCs

It is done By Hp/ weight not CC and the mods are so limited.

Buell: dry weight of 375 lbs, 1125cc
Ducati 1098: weight 380.6, 1098cc

That whole red / yellow / bostrom debacle was embaressing. I cant believe that happened.

[lrrs313]

That's what happens when you have a safety car in motorcycle racing. What ever happened to waving yellow flags when there is a rider down?

[nt650hawk]

What bet did this guy loose?

[OreoGaborio]

WOOOOOAAAAAAHHHHH! Why don't ya pop that collah, Mr. Prepstah?

[Awesome]

UGH!

What I saw looked like a nascar organized and televised event. I changed the channel.

[Kitt]

when is it going to be televised again?

[butcher bergs]

I thought the coverage was great. At least the announcers sounded like they knew what they were talking about and we got to see some sweet camera angles.

I'm very pleased with the product Speed Channel produced on Friday.

they replayed it later that night at 2am, not sure it'll happen again as there is usually just one repeat....

[Awesome]

Late Daytona update, James Rispoli, my old neighbor that I used to babysit took 1st in the AMA national flat track. Look for him winning WERA races this year.

[Johnny B]

Are you kidding me? Those photos suck. It's like your photographer tried taking a picture of Yates but in the end it looks like a bag of smashed assholes.

I'd hire a better photographer. try this guy.

Thanks Guys. Awesome write up Alex. Sounds like a wicked time...

So Alex, let's say hypothetically speaking, if someone wanted to get in touch with Brian, talk about motorsports photography, maybe send some pictures off to get some advice and tips, talk about cameras, etc, how would one do that??



Thanks
Tim

He's been doing those 2 up rides for a long time. Reggie was AMA Superbike champion the first three years of the series, (1976-78) copping the first title on a BMW, of all bikes. Reggie started the C.L.A.S.S. Riding School. ( http://www.classrides.com/ ) Jason used to do the 2 up rides for his dad, with emphasis on riding smooth as silk.
