Race report - WMRRA Rd. 3

Posted 06-16-2008 at 03:07 PM by eric

Everytime I go to the track I can't imagine the sport can get anymore fun. And then it does.

The weekend started out with the Adrenaline Freaks track day. Weather was mostly dry, just a little bit of a drizzle in the middle of the day. I was determined to get into the 35s this weekend so after a couple easy sessions to warmup I started going a little harder. I was focusing on getting a better drive out of 2, 4 and 7.

2-Fast NRS

Posted 03-20-2008 at 11:24 AM by eric

First track day is in the books! I completed (sucessfully) the 2-Fast New Racer School yesterday and it was awesome. A lot of new info to process all at once, shaking the rust off for my first day of the year, getting used to a new bike and at the same time, trying to process the mountains of info they were throwing at us.

We got an opportunity to hear from some of the fastest guys at PR and go over all the aspects of racing and getting around the track. We practiced starts,...

Bike is painted.

Got her all painted this weekend. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out considering the very little effort put into it. First time painting with an air compressor, learned a few things for sure.

Better pics coming when it's not dark outside.

I got my bodywork and the few small pieces finally I needed to get my bodywork on.

First came the bodywork:



Cheapest I could find. Will it hold up in a crash? I'm not going to bet on it. The only real problem I had with the bodywork was that it was a superbike tail and it pretty much didn't fit right, slipped around when I tried to sit on it. I decided I wanted to sit on the stock...

Track bike is home!

Posted 01-14-2008 at 11:52 AM by eric

Took my first major step in getting ready for the 2008 race season this weekend, picking up my new bike, a 2006 GSXR 600.



It needs some work but it runs great. I was able to take it for a night ride around the neighborhood when I got home. It was a little nerve-racking with no headlight, blinkers, fairings, license plate and race take-offs, but I had to try it out!

My immediate...
