The other pitbike wheelie

This picture goes with the previous one. It's not Adam Coco style but is a basic wheelie.

No Nashville Photos, Pitbike Street Wheelies

Well The trip to Nashville was a long one; 11 hours in the bus, I was tripping out on the heat coming onto my feet and discovered that the boot surrounding the shifter has failed. The air coming through the hole is HOT!! I was shown how to ride the s#%t out of a 250 by both Chris and Peter both WERA regulars, Chad showed up and gave Chris a run for his money on Sunday. I watched the races from corner working stations 6 and 3 in a bid to increase revenue. A blog shoutout to Red, Guy and Maggie. You guys are really watching the riders and I personally appreciate it. The races actually were all good to watch and I remembered that I had been to this track before and not cared for it. They have changed the track up a bit since that last visit. The track seemed better on a 250 and I would recommend it to SV riders and possibly novice 600 riders. I would still say that Nashville superspeedway is definitely not a big bike track. Next event is TWS, see you there .

Sponsor Shot

Just another sweet sponsor shot!

NPR 4-20 Pit shots

Thanks to Dwaine who took these and many other fine shots. Heree are a few of me, the bikes and the boys. This day brought 3 renters to the party and with me on number 11 we took to the track in both the faster and slower groups. Usually the day is broken up into 3 groups: A, fast group; B, mid with passing allowed and C with no passing allowed in the corners. For first timers, the Ninja 250 is sweet because it doesn't send out a lot fear inducing signals and allows everyone to focus on cornering speed. The big bikes allow riders to cheat by using their extra horsepower to go faster, the Ninjette requires a commitment to not slowing down.

Daytona Podium

OK, So the 2009 ASRA Superstock victory at Daytona was a bit of a fluke. The lesson is to be ready on the right tires, in this case Michelin Rains front and rear, with all of your sponsor stickers and forms filled out. Oh Yea, you also need to be there!! In all honesty it was all a bit surreal, I had clear track in front of me, with no spray the sheen on the track was a bit confusing in the beginning but it all worked out. See you in the fall for the Race of Champions.
