WERA ’15, Grand National Finals @ Barber
Below is an email I sent to a buddy of mine, Chris Broome after the GNF. He works overseas and couldn't make it this year - as we've been there together the past three years. In any event, it details the weekend well enough, where I figured I'd use it here as well. Cheers. So, the ...

WERA ’15, Round 9&10 – PIRC (A Bumpy Road)
Dad and I arrived to Wampum, PA Friday night. Fortunately, we arrived to the track around 8:30pm and decided to open the trailer door. Rather unfortunately, we opened the door to find a puddle of oil on the floor near ...

WERA ’15, Round 7&8 – Grattan CCW (Lost Opportunities)
I had grand plans for the upcoming races at Grattan Raceway. However, the track was pretty green Friday morning. Rain and vintage cars the previous weekend made for less than ideal grip on the sealer-portions of the track early on. The day eventually became a complete loss when someone oiled 2/3 of the track ...

WERA ’15, Round 3&4 – PIRC (Wet and Ugly)
This one will be brief. Saturday's races were wet. Extremely wet. Water out-lasting the track drainage systems in several corners. Over both days, I was content to sit back and not risk much. Mark Patterson checked out and won all the races on Saturday with his Aprilia RSV4, ...

WERA ’15, Round 2 – Road Atlanta (Supercamp Style)
Road Atlanta was next up on the schedule. Dad and I made the drive down Wednesday night, arriving Thursday afternoon for Friday practice. We made a stop along the way to visit our buddy Chuck Giachetto, who has been a big help in getting the new R1 setup properly out of the gate. It ...

WERA ’15, Round 1 – Grattan Raceway (on a 1K)
The first race of the season was our first time on the bike since the GNF last October. It was also our first time on the new Yamaha R1. Dad, Doug, Aaron and I went into the weekend not expecting too much, but of course wanting to be competitive right out of the gate. ...

WERA ’14, Grand National Finals – Barber
Dad and I rolled into Lot G at Barber Motorsports Park around 11am on Wednesday. Chris (Broome) was already waiting for us with his rig, where we'd be staying for the next several days. We hung around, played NBA Jam and watched some movies; before WERA officials came down to ...

WERA ’14, Round 6&7 – Grattan (Beyond the Comfort Zone)
With rounds six and seven next up on the WERA schedule, we arrived at the Grattan double header Thursday night and set up in the garage we'd be calling home for the weekend. Over the next three days we would be working together with famed tuner ...

WERA ’14, Round 4&5 – Mid-Ohio (Challenging Adversity)
Mid-O. Ohhh Mid-O. Two years in a row now we've struggled here. Lack of track time has been an issue - especially this year with the new Suzukis. Dad couldn't make this trip, so it would be Doug, Aaron and myself for this WERA National event.Quick recap from Monday: Slow. ...

WERA ’14, Round 3 – Pittsburgh International (Brake Check)
Going into the weekend, we had both Honda East Yoshimura Suzuki's ready, for the first time this season. I had been riding one so far, but now with the second ready to go, I'd be spending some time with her, getting her dialed in for the weekend - and dad would ride ...
