WOW. . . I am really proud of the job that Erik and a handful of Elves have done. They are smack dab in the middle of the mix with folks spending millions a year.
Watching live timing right now. I don't want to spoil it for anyone (the race is a little more than half over right now) but watching or recording the race tonight is a MUST!
I had so many heartstopping moment watching the live timing I had to have a shot of whiskey afterwards to settle myself down.
LOL! I think my wife was getting pretty annoyed at me jumping with joy and shouting with frustration with each position change. I don't think I've ever gotten so emotional watching numbers shifting on a computer screen before.
Can't wait to watch it tonight. He MUST get some good face-time on this one. Though I have to give the announcers credit - they have been talking him up over the past few races.
Do you realize Geoff was leading for a brief moment.
The two 6th place finishes this weekend is HUGE!
Maybe I am over excited, but I think it translates to a big sponsor next year and Geoff and the gang doing fantastic things (read: championship contender) with the 1190RR.
I've been paying close attention this year and have observed: 1) The 1125RR does not lose much in terms of laptimes in the second half of the race which means excellent mechanical grip. 2) On gnarley tracks, the HP disadvantage is equalized to a degree and the 1125RR sort-of kind-of keeps up.
With the added HP of the 1190RR next year, and a great sponsorship, Erik Buell Racing, Geoff and the 1190RR will be seeing podiums.
I'm confident!
Let me also take this opportunity to thank Erik and RatPack records for having the courage to put it all on the line to make 2010 yet another memorable Buell racing year at the highest level.
Plus 1 on that Asbjorn, and I still am a little surprised at how many people STILL do not know fully what a Buell is. BUT THEY WILL! Its simply amazing what a very small company with only a very limited budget can do with the right people and desire. Outstanding Erik and the guys! Gettin''er done, one race at a time. Proud to be a Buell rider. Bob
Just watching it here four hours behind East Coast time. Wow! What a race. Geoff did a great job, rode in the lead pack most of the way. Can't wait for next year.
Erik Buell Racing and Geoff it was so much fun wathing Geoff race. I have seen him race before but it was not until he started racing a Buell that I started really watching him. He is an amazing skilled rider. Talk about been smooth. wow. 2011 with the1190RR I see podium for the Erik Buell Racing team. I can't wait for the seaon to start,lol
Another cool part...imo...was where they show the pictures of the top five racers, just before commercial at the top of the screen... 5 faces..and there was Geoff in the center!! lol... (he was 3rd at the time) I thought it was cool.
I can't wait to watch next year. Great race Geoff and Erik Buell Racing!!!
