I gotta hear the story behind these pics!

I did not get a chance to "bench race" with you guys about this race.

Did you ever catch Scott!?

[smf]

they're in reverse order. chris and brian were slowly reeling me in the first 4 laps. we all got around the duc in 2nd then my glasses started falling down (was opening my visor on the front straight to push them back up ). i think the pic where we're all bunched up is right after i almost ran off in the bowl (couldn't see shit). chris passed me there, brian got me in 11.

kudos to them, heck of a race. never raced with friends before. never had that much fun racing. damn i can't wait for '08

and brian also clicked off his first 21... DAMN!

Couple more.

The Holeshot!

In this one you can just barely see me, well my front tire and the #1 on my bike. Look closely in the pack... I was ahead of Brian and Tony!

[smf]

i want all those pics. email me the 5mb a piece originals (you've got my addy right?). what a fuggin race!

[Puppet]

Thanks for the pics Doc. I love that pic of Scott and I in turn 1...and there's proof that I was in front of Chris at some point during the race...haha... The very first picture is cool in that "it looks like it's painted" kind of way.

Scott...that 700 is DAMN FAST. When you figure that thing you, you're going to be really hard to catch and even harder to pass

How'd the rest of pics come out from the weekend?

[Doc]

I have more, will post soon.

Was I the Duc in 2nd? Red 750ss #719?

[Puppet]

Looks like it Those pics are from Ultralight on Sunday afternoon

edit: That was most likely 3rd place at that point. I'm pretty sure Zach Lee had taken off in front of all of us

Joel! Welcome! Yes, you are the guy riding the red Ducati #719. I thought you knew.

Hey Chris! - I can't see the number from where I'm sitting...

Didn't see myself in that shot of everyone in T1a either, did I get THAT much of a smokin' start? We had a gimme on that race, completely clear track for both of us going into T1!!

ULSB is a great class! I vote to double it up for 2008, race it both Sat and Sun.

[smf]

dude. welcome! you certainly did have the holeshot. i was behind you for a few laps. got you into T1 about lap 4 or 5. then gave up about 5 spots on the last lap f-ing awesome race. stop by T1a and say hi next season

[jtaylor719]

Thanks - just a couple days on this site and found a bunch of guys I know, and some good info! I've stopped by 1A this season quite a bit, ever since I pulled my head out of my ass and actually started racing again. It was a great season running with you guys!

Were you on the Hawk that went wide in T3? If so, thanks for the 4th place trophy! I need to either slim down this winter or drop an 800 in my bike for next season (or both). I can't reel Chris in on the straights at all. Never mind carting my ass up over 4&5 to catch him.

I also need to find out why he passed me EVERY F'N race going into T9! Same spot every time dammit! Watch out in April, I'm trying a new line in there.

[smf]

yep. that was me. you're welcome i couldn't find a gear to save my life and didn't want to just throw it and screw up ppl behind me

[nt650hawk]

Hey Joel.
Welcome.
Maybe we can get you to pit with us. We'll drop your time. It all in the Tequila. I know why he gets around you in 9??? Should I tell him Chris?

Anyone get pic's ofme? I railed past Nick Rockwell in 1a for 4th on the start.

I know why he gets around you in 9??? Should I tell him Chris?

NO!!

[jtaylor719]

I'm pretty sure I know, and pretty sure I'll work on changing it.

You can tell me anyway if you'd like...

Go faster.

719. I know this guy!
