I had a great race weekend at Blackhawk Farms last Saturday and Sunday. Buell Alley has been a little thin this season, though. Who's coming to the September Double Points race? It's also the Red Flag Fund auction weekend. Hope to see everyone in a few weeks!! http://www.racingwithralph.blogspot.com/ |

I'll be there! I'm really crossin my fingers that I'll be able to race. But regardless, we'll be there. Ralph, that looked like one hell of a ride you took in August! I'm thinkin it must have scared you into forming a suction cup with your rear end, because I still don't know how you managed to stay on the bike! No hands and no feet! That's impressive! Bet you couldn't do that again. Schmitty |

Thanks Joel! I'm a long way from your lap times but I'm really pleased that I'm improving and gaining more confidence. Ben, I have to be honest, I really thought I was just loosening my grip on the bars as I watched the crash unfolding in front of me but obviously my brain was saying, "Get off the bike!" It all happened so fast that even I couln't believe the photos that the Gron4 guys took!! Hope to see both you and Rocco again in September. Troy and I will both be there. |

Hi all, I'm new to the racing scene and am planning on being there for my 1st race on my 1125R. Looks like one hell of a ride last round Ralph, missed it had to be at a wedding but was there Friday to sit around in the rain. I'm also planning to be there on 9/2 and 9/23. Look forward to meeting all on Buell alley. Josh |

I was at Blackhawk for NESBA over the weekend and my bike wouldn't shift into 4th gear, not sure if I will make it now... |

Fellas, thinking of going as a spectator. Is this worth the ride from Aurora IL? Also, I'd be willing to help out any Buell racers that might need a hand. One of the guys from the Chicago sportbike forum says Erik will be there on Saturday. |

Dave and I believe Mike(?) Stone are playing Saturday night for the Red Flag Fund Auction, and Erik is a friend of theirs and has played at Blackhawk before. It's in a large pavilion, so if it rains, they'll probably still play. It would be nice to have more Buellers at the races. I can always use a hand, and I know this will be a race debut race weekend for 2 more Buell racers. Come on up, it's a good time. I have 2 EZ-Ups of which one I leave some spots open for bike parking. Look for the bike in my profile picture. (Message edited by rocketsprink on September 23, 2009) |

I'll be a Buell pit crew/mechanic for hire this weekend. (Don't worry, I work for free!) Unfortunately, I'm not racing the last round, but I'll be there for anyone that needs help. I'm really looking forward to seeing some of the people I haven't seen in a while! I'm bringing my wife and two girls along, and I know they're excited too. So if anyone needs a hand, give me a holler. Schmitty |

Believe me Rocco, I wish too, just not in the budget right now. I'm gonna be like a caged animal standing by the fence watching, but at least I'll be there! See you guys on Friday! I know we're looking forward to it! Schmitty |
