Switching Gears
Of course there's the play on words, but it's funny how I switch gears from week to week when thinking about a particular race track. Last month after the Nelson race, all I was thinking about was Nelson Ledges. With a couple Grattan trackdays soon thereafter, I switched my thinking over to Grattan and what I needed to do to go faster. After then leaving Grattan, having gone ...

Monday Morning Grind

Quote(s) of the Day
For anyone who didn't watch the Tour De France, Floyd Landis won. He's American. He's a former teammate, rival and current friend to Lance Armstrong. He put on perhaps the single-most impressive stage performance in modern tour history by coming back from one awful stage performance (where he basically took himself out of contention to win), to winning the following stage and erasing an eight minute deficit ...

Monday Morning Grind
Nicky wins the Red Bull MotoGP race for the second year in a row at Laguna Seca. Rossi had a mechanical DNF and Pedrosa finished 2nd, sliding into the #2 spot in the championship, 30+ points behind Nicky. Overall it was a good race to watch but simply put, no one can compete with Nicky come race time at Laguna.As for us, we're getting the ...

Racing Excuses – The List
For those who know me or have been reading, you know I'm not a big fan of excuses. I became so tired of hearing them, I started a list of all the excuses I've heard in my days of racing. I had some help from the WERA community as well, filling in some I had missed. What originally was to be a list of 50 grew ...

Mystic Visions and Laguna Dreams
I'm taking my dad (Joe) to the airport tomorrow morning as he heads out to California for the highly famed weekend at Laguna Seca for the MotoGP race. He's pretty stoked to go, and with good reason. I'm excited for the race and I'm not even going. The premiere motorcycle race series coming back to America ... to hear those 200+ horsepower machines in action, slicing through ...

AMA Pro Racing Legalizes Traction Control
I don't know what's more suprising - that the AMA fully legalized traction control, or that they came up with the final ruling on this so quickly.I'm certain Ben Bostrom and Neil Hodgson of the Ducati team are excited about the news, as they can now run the same traction control system Troy Bayliss is using in the World Superbike series - a system that was ...

Six Seconds
The bar was raised this past weekend. After seeing yesterday's lap times from the National races, we've got to find six seconds. There were fast laps all weekend; from the 6-hour endurance race on Saturday, to the National sprints that went on yesterday. The combination of great weather and fast riders made for an above-average increase in speed across the board, not to mention a new ...
