The race weekend coming up again fast, hopefully by then this 1 1/2 month old weather system will stay around (in an effort not to jinx).
Heath, are you entering the 125GP race on Saturday? I just faxxed in the pre-reg for GTL and 125GP on Saturday.
Should be fun coming in from the GT, getting a 10 minute rest and go rite back out again:drool:
So your doing an endurance race then entering into the very next race?
Just enough time to take an espresso shot!
No, there is 1 race between, i'm in race #3 and #5. Come in from the race, put the warmers back on, gas up, sit down for 4 1/2 minutes and go back for 3rd and final call:D
well... if you're lucky i'll be up there to watch & i'd be happy to help take care of some of that stuff for ya... then you can sit for 5 & 1/2 minutes ;)
Guys, that's a brutal schedule! Just don't go rocketing into the holeshot in the 125 event. I've got enough work to do catching Zack without more motards sticking it in there. (they always seem to crash in T2 right next to me :hmm: )
Just kidding, the 125 class is a great place for you to run because there aren't any bikes that will hold you up in the corners only to zap you on the straights... be courteous and leave a little room at the edges please
:)
I'm doing it all year. Race #3, #5, #11 on Sunday. It's no big deal.
No big deal? You must not be riding hard enough :poke: I can barely stand up after a GT, and I train year round.
Then again, the 125 is a bit of gymnastics to ride. I guess you guys actually sit on those seats???
:dunno:
Yeah, I'm a slow guy on a fast bike.:D
Old too.:(
You know I'm just joking, right? (no one around here ever seems to) What bike are you riding?
you tell um ., ., i used to do ., the gto then the gtu with 1 race in between as a break., and would finish top 2 in each race.,Quote:

What WAS I thinking?:dunno: :D
Great motor by NEP, great to deal with Scott too.
Ha! That is a fast bike. I take it you're not running the 125 class?
Seriously, the more races you can run the better.

I did a GTO last weekend and will not be doing it anymore. I was so tired after the race I didn't want to do my other 2 races that were later in the day.
Yeah, if you're an aggressive rider it can definitely smoke your quads to the point of uselessness. Kinda puts in perspective how tough the pro races are. 45 minutes. Sheesh...
I did a 25 lap race at Loudon last year. I could barely move my feet to shift for the last 3 laps...
Loudon is a workout compared to a lot of track (so I'm told)
I must say, i was exhausted after the GTL on the last race weekend and i felt it's effects for the rest of the day. I came in and sat rite down after i put my bike on the stand and drank a bottle of water. It should be fun:drool:Quote:

so how have you been liking the bike ?? good i hope., !! conpared to the F4..... ;)
and just get in shape the GT races are not bad .. ,., plus you learn alot about the track ,.
I always use caution when there's a question of making the pass without punting someone. It cost me 5 seconds on the second to last lap last weekend and Eric Yoo caught me. I was pissed, but I think I made the right decision.Quote:

I'm skipping the GT race this time around. Which is probably stupid because I'm in pretty good shape and I don't get too fatigued at all. Instead I'm doing two extra sprints figureing it'll give me more practice on my starts, and first lap which I think has been one of my major weaknesses so far. I'm registered for the following:
Sat.
#2 NV HWSS
#4 NV MWSS
#11 NV MWSB
Sun.
#5 NV HWSB
#8 NV MWGP
I guess I still could grab the sunday GT. I'll have to think about it.
just in case no one is paying attention to the schedule for FUSA weekend....
GT races will be 8 LAPS ONLY NOT A TIMED EVENT. but will STILL pay $100 (pre-reg) for the race. remember at the end of the year your worst finish gets dropped so this would be a good one to miss and say....enter 2 other races for fun
DAN= slow guy on fast bike......
I believe this is partially incorrect. The GTs will be 8 laps but only cost $50 pre-entry.Quote:

It's not a good one to miss because it's worth DOUBLE points!!!
its only double points for Am and EX. as for the money. maybe i just didnt see a price differential on the site but at the top of the entry form it says $100 and doesnt diffenciate Fusa weekend
Wouldn't be at all surprised if they were charging full price for the GTs while only giving you 8 laps. Welcome to the Loudon Grab For Cash Series. We could give a fuck about 1)your safety 2)the value of your dollar 3)whether you have a good time or not 4)whether you race for a day or a decade, just as long as we get as muuuuuuuuuch money from you as we can.Quote:

The question has been asked on the NEAR list several times and Jerry has stated $50 for 8 lap GTs each time
yup only $50 for the GT races FUSA weekend.
Yeah, it is $50 for the GT races, they said it at the last riders meeting as well.
They'll get the money from you one way or another though, i heard the weekend track entry was either $50 or $90 per person???
ARE WE THERE YET!!!???
[rossi] The sensation before you get out of work on a race weekend is always the same......is always....very strong [/rossi]:D
yes...yes oh wise one.
STRONG LIKE BULL.
(umm...the feeling, not Rossi)
How did the GT and 125gp schedule work out? Anybody besides Mark do it?
Here's my account of the race...
Race time saw the temps over 90 in the shade of the garages. Track temp 136F. I was nearly using the leanest jet in my kit and I would have gone leaner if the bike’s cooling system could have handled it.
I got my usual mediocre launch and slotted into 4th in T1. The big surprise was that Tyler Henshaw grabbed the holeshot and headed the race for a lap! I squeezed past Eric Yoo into T12 and Zack had moved into 2nd. Into T3 chute on lap 2 Zack moved past Tyler, and I rocketed up the INSIDE past both of them into T3. I couldn’t hold the line and Zack re-passed underneath me.
I got a good drive up the hill and dove for the inside of T6. A perfect block pass as Zack had to seriously check up as he tried to tip it in. I only led for a little bit as I missed a shift in T12 and Zack BLASTED past me onto the straight. He pulled a few seconds on me right there, and I never recovered. I rode hard and worked traffic pretty well to hold onto second despite Eric’s late race charge.
I finished 3.9 seconds back, but 3 of those were lost in that one mistake… This coming Friday is worth DOUBLE POINTS, so it will be another corker.
The bikes were so anemic that Eric said he couldn’t pull sixth gear! So the times (low 18s) were probably quite good for the conditions
It wasn't all that bad but they did cut the race down to 20 minutes. I'll be doing it again next race weekend in July:drool:Quote:
