Monday Morning (Afternoon) Grind
Well the team concept is in full effect here. Under a big time crunch to have the bike ready for yesterday's visit to Grattan, James did a ton of work to get the R6 back from it's previous state of being completely apart down to the bare frame. My dad was a big ...

Tired of that slow crotch rocket you have that only hits 150 mph? Want to get a MotoGP bike instead? Well this is it. Check out the pictures of this 200hp beast over at Twisting Asphalt. Additional pictures can also be seen at Superbike Planet. I haven't even bothered looking at ...

Ode to the Pistons
On the potential eve of the Piston's final game of the season (realistically, I think it will be), a friend of mine, Damian pointed me to an ESPN article by Scoop Jackson (http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=jackson/060530&lpos=spotlight&lid=tab5pos2 ), talking about the Piston's sudden drop from championship-favorite to virtually playoff pretender. I've been stunned myself how the Pistons have fallen so far down so quickly. As an avid Piston ...

That's what I thought James and my dad would be doing to the bike after the first three rounds of the season were over. As you can see from the picture sent from my dad's cell phone, that isn't the case. :)

Team Update
James has the R6 in the shop and is doing some work to it - mostly maintenance type stuff. We've been trying to pressure him to have the bike ready as soon as possible, primarily for the Grattan testing date coming up on Sunday, June 4th. My dad and I might swing by this weekend in an effort to help lend a hand.It's still fairly ...

Miller Motorsports Park
Miller Motorsports Park will perhaps be the nicest race facility in the U.S. before long. Just nearing completion, this new Utah-based track just outside of Salt Lake City, has been built with the mindset of money being no object. A scant $80 million has been committed to this new facility which features 4 different track configurations; the longest being a 4+ mile ...

Gingerman in 07?
Yes I think so finally. In talking to a credible source this past weekend, WERA has plans to get at least one Gingerman date for the 2007 racing season from what I've been told. WERA tried to get a date this year, but Gingerman wasn't able to find any openings. Gingerman officials called WERA last week and had something open up, but it was too ...
