Read it here http://roadracingworld.com/news/article/?article=5 0653 Trying to find out haw this effects me and if there will be any future factory support. Right now I got a bad feeling about where this leaves me. I hope I'm wrong. |

Just got off the phone with EBR and Danny is right. Now there will be 4 1190RS on the AMA grid. Factory support is still there, so it's all good! |

No AMA this year I'm afraid. Last year just about buried me, in spite of being some of the best times I've ever had. |

Rob - what are the dates You and Jim Dugger will be at NOLA. Might be a great excuse for me to take a roadtrip. Short and sweet, I'd HAVE to ride Loretta. Zack |

At the '09 WERA Las Vegas January round I road my 1125 and got to meet Ronnie Sanner. That was when Latus was running the 1125s in AMA DSB. I was so new then I didn't even have a belly pan on the bike. It was my first WERA race and I was on the only other 1125 in the pits. I didn't know any one there. Ronnie came over to my toyhauler and gave me two sets of slightly used race brake pads (they use them one weekend then give them away). He also came to help with a brake line problem I was having. What great personality he is. BTW you may already know this but RSRacecraft is Ronnie's business. RSRacecraft runs the bikes for Latus Motors. I don't know much more than that, but sure am happy to hear that Ronnie is running EBRs this year. I've got his business card if anyone wants to contact him. |

> Rob - what are the dates You and Jim Dugger will be at NOLA. The CMRA is racing at Nola June 15-16. I'll be there on the 14th, too, as it's a club practice day. |

Rob - what are the dates You and Jim Dugger will be at NOLA. As much as I want to, the possibility of my going to NOLA is pretty remote. I wish there was somewhere centrally located where we could organize an all Buell national shootout/championship. This country is just too damn big. |

How about in the Dallas/Ft Worth area? That's about as central as it gets, unless we did something like Heartland Park. |

Hallet in OK would be a great place for JDugger and Rodrob to settle the discussion on who's the fastest!! |

Hallet is a fun track. Salt Lake really isn't central at all! |

Salt Lake really isn't central at all! It was worth a shot, it is the closest AMA race to me, gonna miss going to the WSBK/AMA there. |

The other issue with SLC is just getting on it. It's an expensive place. Tracks like ECR, Cresson, hell, even Nola or Barber have a lot more options for private track days or club-level racing events. |
