good races all. I was watching up at turn 6 with my dad and some friends. Who decided they don't want a working bike (white gixxah) anymore? Hope the rider is ok. It was the lowside and bike flipped up over the barriers. Still, awesome day of racing by all. Thanks for a good show.
That rider did walk away, but the bike was in rough shape.Quote:

Thanks for the pics Chuck. I knew I wasn't riding as good as the last race weekend and looking at the pics it's clear why. Last week I felt awesome, but this week my body position was all wrong.
One thing I did notice about both you and Harrison in the bowl was your line. You didn't seem to be hitting the apex and that's why you are so high coming out. Looking good for a first season though. Keep it up.Quote:

The bigger bikes apex a little later to get better traction on the drive out, but the LW bikes should definately be apexing a good 20 feet before the cone as we can get on the gas while still leaned over.
I have to admit it I am a little intimidated by all of you guys. Don't get me wrong, I am quite outgoing, but it is hard to walk up to a garage full of people and say hi. Next time I will grow a set, and come over!
Daviid....how did your weekend go?
Thanks Chuck!
Great to have met you and Annalisa (sp?).
Sweet Civic, BTW...:hellyeah:
I wish he had hooked up earlier. I should've visited the alley. One day up there isn't enough time to visit everyone AND take in the racing.Quote:

Great pics Chuck.
Anyone have any photos from T3? I watched a pretty hairy wreck there but unfortunately wasn't running my digicam in video mode like I was considering a few minutes before. Should have turned it on.
Guy (I think 909, Nichols) got a little sideways midway between 3/4 and it caught when he hit the transition from the flat to the hill. Nasty highside looked like it rung his bell pretty good... then the guy behind him (Stockman, forget the number, 2-something, supposedly they are close friends) had nowhere to go and t-boned the downed bike and supermanned it.
Both of them were down in the grass off of 4 for a couple tense minutes. Both were able to get up as I recall though.
That crash left a nasty Engine Ice spill that took us forever to clean up. 3 hits with fluff and brooms including the power broom and 4 hits with the powder :mope:
That sure was a busy day for the mule and pushing brooms!
so even though engine ice is approved - its shouldnt be ehh?Quote:

Water Wetter is worser. Engine Ice is betterer. Anti-freeze is even betterest.Quote:
