Gross, but effective. Some fine work by the 2 PJ's! Nancy did show up. But it was too late! |

Well the race season is over. at least for me. Had a great time. Love the new bike. Was able to get into the 1:24's this weekend. Not too bad considering how out of shape I am and that I'm running a bone stock 9R with 10,000 miles on it. Missed some old faces (Jason, Julian and Matt), but met some new ones (Ben, Greg, Jay) Buells are starting to show up in more numbers at the track. I think this trend will continue. I welcome it. More, in this case, is better. The bike will be used one more time this year at the Track Day at R.A in October. It will then be taken apart and gone through. Nothing major. Just to be freshened up a bit. This season just ended for the Midwest region and I already can't wait until next season. This bike is just so damn much fun to ride. It's going to be a long, boring winter. But spending time out in the garage will help ease the pain a bit. I want to thank everyone that came out to lend support and a hand. I wish more people would come out. It's a blast. The racing is great. We always have a good time. Hope to see you at the Track next year! |

I still haven't opened up the S1 yet (maybe tonight) and Heather's XB has absolutely no tire left so if I'm going it'll be the S3. If I can get consistent with that, I might be able to take out Kevin for you guys. As for Blackhawk, thanks for the offer Wes, but as it turns out, my weekend quickly became filled with work and other stuff once Blackhawk even became a question. Ah well, this entire racing season has been a disappointment for me so might as well finish it out the same way and try it all again next year. |

Jason. Get Heather a frickin' tire. Get a road racing bike. Get a drag bike. Apparently the 2 are not interchangeable. Dump the tuber (sorry old school fans). Get an XB. (I heard a guy you know is selling one and is looking for a tuber for a drag project) I was considering going to M.A.M in October until I looked at their schedule. Looks dumb. |

Rocco - - Tires on order. - I'll have one once I get this fixed. - You're right - doesn't seem to be working according to plan. - Considering it. - I think the dude with the XB has a different plan brewing. What's the MAM schedule look like? Real spread out or all the lightweight stuff all in a lump? |

http://www.ccsracing.us/venues/midamerica.html Still considering it. No Thunderbike, but hell, I'd like to run a race where I'd have to qualify. Could do LWSS, GTL and The LW Superbike race. BTW, just giving ya shit. I know you've been busy. Sucked not having you guys at the Track this year. Maybe a family road trip to Iowa in October? |

Good to hear Dave. I'll have to make a trip over next spring and pick up a bow for me and my Son. Do you carry recurves? Final point standing have been posted for CCS. Overall I finished 7th in AM Thunderbike. 4th in Lightweight SS Blackhawk Championship I finished 5th in LWSS and 7tth in AM Thunderbike. I was the top finishing Buell in LWSS! Wonder if I'll get any money? I believe I finished 77th out of 200+ AM in the final combined AM overall. Not bad for an out of shape guy on a somewhat tired bike. Now the work begins on the bike.......and ME!! |

That would be Aaron Frank wearing that shirt. |

Yep. Spoke with him Tuesday. Mike came up short one shirt after the Moto-ST race at R.A when Aaron rode one of the bikes. Thinking maybe he never gave it back? Or they gave him one and ones still missing?? |
