Nelson Safety Fund Update
The response has been great so far - we've raised over $3000, tripling the initial goal set out from the beginning. The new goal is $4000 and donations will be accepted through Monday, September 25th. Sportbike Track Gear has volunteered to give away a pair of race gloves ($220 value) to one of the donators, who will be picked once this is over. Thanks again ...

Nelson Ledges $1000 Fund
20 people x $50 donations = $1000. It won't cover everything, but it's a start. If you're concerned about track safety for racers and want to help, please see the following link:http://forums.13x.com/showthread.php?t=119939Thanks,- eddie

Monday Morning Grind – Nelson Unsafe?
The WERA Nelson National was held this past weekend, amidst high levels of controversy. The big story was Robert Jensen and the Vesrah team electing not to ride, due to safety concerns about the Nelson facility.Jensen set a new lap record at the last WERA Nelson regional round. He ran times he was comfortable running and wasn't chased by anyone. However at the National, he ...

A Wet and Oiled BeaveRun
Dave, Eric (Johnston) and his wife Michelle and I made the trip to BeaveRun this past weekend, along with Tom (Rubin) and his girlfriend Jen. The weather was looking sketchy for Saturday, but we thought we could get some good racing in on Sunday. For some reason, this event wasn't on the North Central schedule, but we liked the track and wanted to ride there ...

Representing at the AMA Mid-Ohio
Team ChallengeIn addition to the AMA/WERA races at Mid-Ohio in a few weeks (see the countdown on the left for the exact number of days left), part of the events include a Team Challenge. Each organization in attendance (WERA, CCS, CMRA, CRA, etc.) selects a team to represent their organization. I was fortunate enough to be selected to represent WERA, along with Charlie Coleman and Dave (Grey) ...

Monday Morning Grind
Grattan went pretty well. It was a good weekend, although I didn't drop as much time as I needed to. We changed a lot of things on the bike and it seemed to help, although it will be easier to tell when running Grattan in the normal clockwise direction, where I have a lot more laps and can give better feedback on the bike.Friday and ...

Lovely Weather Continues
The weather forecast for Grattan this weekend continues to improve, with significant chances of rain throughout the entire weekend. This could make for another exciting three days of numerous tire changes in the often changing conditions - just like last weekend at Nelson Ledges. Let the fun begin ..

Monday Morning Grind
Not too much to recap from this past weekend at Nelson. Wet weather Friday and Saturday with a 3rd place finish in the Middleweight solo race. Sunday was dry, but I was having some issues getting to the times I had done the previous race weekend where I was closer to the front of the pack, so a minor set back in that regard.We're off ...

Off to the Races
While not on the WERA schedule, Darren (Womack) and I decided to again do the 3-hour Fasttrax endurance race this upcoming weekend. We don't have Jim as the third rider like we did last time, so that will alter our rider/pit strategy slightly (more riding for us, which could be a good or bad thing).Fasttrax doesn't have the array of tire vendors that WERA does, so I ...
