• Not So Nice Nashville

  Well for those who haven't heard, Nashville started off great, and ended hard.  I broke my collarbone in several places in practice on Sunday, trying to scrub in a new tire.  We had just come off a win in Saturday's 20-lap solo race - my first win on the new bike (in it's first race no less).  As if that wasn't a good start on Saturday, my ...

  Not on the original schedule (well it was, but we weren't intending to go), we've made some last minute plan changes and will be heading down to Nashville Superspeedway this weekend for the first official North Central round on the WERA schedule.It should be a good chance to get our feet wet in our first race weekend with the new bike.  Speaking of wet, it ...

• The Sun Chasers

  A fitting title for the weekend.  My dad and I were watching the weather all week to determine where we wanted to ride.  It was between Grattan and BeaveRun and as Friday afternoon rolled around, we were faced with a dilemma.  Grattan's weather forecast looked like rain on Saturday and clear skies on Sunday.  BeaveRun looked like clear skies on Saturday and rain on Sunday.  ...

• There Just Aren’t Enough Hours in the Day

  Damn racing is a taxing past time.  Not only does it suck up your money, it sucks up nearly all of your time.  Between logging countless hours on the bike, to working to pay for racing, to trying to fit in some small amount of time at home with Gina and the pooch, to everything in between, there just aren't enough hours in the day to get ...

• Putnam Recap

  The weather in Mt. Meridian, Indiana was great both Saturday and Sunday.  Lots of laps were put in and significant changes to the bike made for a fun and eventful weekend.  Monte and Bonnie put on another stellar event, with most everyone riding with a level head as there were only three off-track excursions the entire weekend.  Garry, Dave and David (Babel) made for ...

• Ice Riding 101

  This past weekend I went riding on the ice for the first time.  It was a blast and definitely a new experience/completely different style of riding for me.  A good buddy of mine Justin Fleming (who you'll see at ...

• Monday Morning Grind

  Our trip to Jennings is quickly approaching.  The bike is still at Honda East and the plan is to build a baseline map for the bike this upcoming weekend.  We will then pretty much have the bike ready to go for our departure the following Thursday to Florida.  I'm really looking forward to getting out of the Michigan weather and into some warmer climates.  It's now only about a week ...
