  Congrats Eddie on your racing at Grattan .... taking away 3rd on the last lap coming out of the bowl into the sweeper - very heads up. Also, I remember a pass you put on someone on the outside in 10a and still held your line through 10b onto the straight for position. You were so precise coming onto the straight.... everyone ...

• Grattan Highlights: Part 1 [750 Superstock Race]

  Jeff Kovack is the man. All the onboard video you see on this site is from him. He has a high-quality setup that works great for catching the action as it happens. And as it happens, we've been racing pretty close to each other this year, where he's captured some great footage (case in point - the Sherman incident). The above clip is the ...

• Grattan’s Response

  From Sam:Thank you for your input, saftey is always our main concern when we do any improvement. The resurfacing will not change any or the run-off areas. Our areas that are guard railed  can't change due to the property lines or driveway. We will always attempt to maintain a safe and enjoyable facility. PS Will try harder on the restrooms.I've always liked Sam.  Straight up ...

• Letter to Grattan

  Hey Sam,I was just reading this article on Roadracing World, where they talk about Mid-Ohio and Road Atlanta since they've been repaved:http://www.roadracingworld.com/news/article/?article=29870The article made me think of Grattan.  I've heard talks of a possible repave of the track this fall/winter, and while that sounds great - do you guys have any thoughts on how run-off will be affected?  Surely the track will become faster ...

• Monday Morning Grind

  Gina and I went out to Grattan this past Saturday, participating at an Apex 2 Apex track day; a company run by fellow racers Brent Bennett and Eric Spector.  They had a good turnout and ran a really smooth program, especially considering they just started running track days this year.  Brent had the whole family involved.  Dave (his brother) was changing tires.  His ...

• Monday Morning Grind

  My dad and I got back from the dyno last night, after James had finished freshening up the motor.  We didn't end up with any more horsepower (actually a touch less), but given the bike has new gaskets and rings, breaking the motor in on the track may help free up a bit more there.  James also tried some different cam timing, which may or ...
