Author Message   Walt221 Posted on Tuesday, May 31, 2005 - 07:39 am:        Well, it looks like like my bad luck is still hanging around. I qualified okay at Summit Point (6th). I got a good start in the race and everything felt good. A couple of guys crashed though and brought out the red flag (I hope they're okay). My second start was terrible and I ended up crashing in turn 6. I picked the it up and rode the rest of the race with no front brakes (missing lever). I think I finished 17th. Thanks to all the BadWebers who made it out to watch. Later, Walt www.waltsipp.com   Reepicheep Posted on Tuesday, May 31, 2005 - 08:45 am:        Sorry to hear that Walt, way to soldier on. It's great to see those Buell racing.   Blake Posted on Tuesday, May 31, 2005 - 07:17 pm:        Ditto.   Blublak Posted on Wednesday, June 01, 2005 - 07:09 am:        Hey Walt.. I just tried to post a reply and it seems to have vanished.. oh well.. here I go again.. It was great meeting you in person. I didn't know you had gone down, as I know you were running in good position then seemed to suddenly drop off the pace.. On the other hand, I was at turn ten for the whole race and got a few good pictures of you.. I'll send 'em to ya if you want. As for the red flag, I was there for that wreck as well. Two of the three walked away. The third was hospitalized and that's all I know. It was a bad one. And for those of you wondering.. I can't seem to Crush the images enough to post them, the original file is just too big. I'll keep trying to work it though.. (just can't do it till I'm home)   Ingemar Posted on Wednesday, June 01, 2005 - 09:02 am:        I'm sorry to hear about your mishap. I hope you'll have more luck from now on.   Dsergison Posted on Wednesday, June 01, 2005 - 12:50 pm:        YOU RACED ON WITH NO FRONT BRAKES! you are THE MAN! glad youre ok.   Walt221 Posted on Wednesday, June 01, 2005 - 06:43 pm:        Blublak, It was nice meeting you too. I would like to see your pics. Send them over if you get some time. Hopefully, I'll see you all again at VIR.   Jlnance Posted on Wednesday, June 01, 2005 - 09:11 pm:        Blublack - I can try shrinking them if you would like. You can email them to jim_nance at yahoo.com if you're interested.   Blublak Posted on Thursday, June 02, 2005 - 08:56 am:        Hey Walt, you got it.. I'll pull some of the good ones and send 'em your way tonight. Just be prepared, they're High Res (should print out at 8X10 just fine) so the files are pretty big. Thanks Jim, appreciate the help... I'll start sending pics your way same time I'm sending Walt his pics.
