Lightweight Class Racing in the Mid-West

[APP_Racing]

Yep I will be there.  Bringing the wife and the little one.   I just hope he can hang long enough for us to enjoy the banquet.  I have work to do in town so it just makes sense.  Plus with some luck I will get an evening to take the little one to the pool for the first time.

I am also going to try and make the Feb 7th event at Cafe.  Bazzazz is in town and I have been really considering one of their units for the 750.

Ok.......is B-Rock healed and committed to the whole season? I haven't talked to him.

Forgot about Shun.

I talked to Chase and he has no bike plus probably won't run GP since they don't go to Hallett.

Clark only runs hte occasional event....unless something has changed.......Kevin???

Don't know Flaimm.....what is his story? Full season EX LW GP?

Richard told me that he was gonna go work for the man and thus would be a new employee w/ limited vaca time....so he wasn't sure if he'd be able to make all the events and HPT track days.

Timmay, are you 100% full season?

I can't sell this R6 and buy a LW unless I know for SURE it won't be like 06.

So......

Anthony
Beckah
Clayton
Dan
Jarel
Shun

Can we get confirmations on the others?  Only need four more!  (really six more, so we've got two alternates)

Anybody want to MAYBE buy an R6?

flaim will run MW but will be at the first 4 GP rounds.  We'll have a crap load of white platers for the first few combined rounds.  Flaimm, Wilkens are two new white platers I know of for sure.

I'm still healing and should be ok by the HPT race.  I already have a SV that is mostly ready, so I am committed to LW.  I'll be in Italy in June and will miss the Hastings race and I won't mess with Road America, but should be at the other rounds.  Anthony and I will probably do CMRA at Hallett in late July also. 

Rich, I really hope you come play in LW.  I don't think Chris is going to be racing, but we will see.  I've had a few MW guys contact about SVs wanting to know if they are any fun, so we may get a few unexpected converts because they are a bunch of fun and a COMPETITIVE bike can be had for $4k.  Based on what I've heard, we should have a solid 8 and hopefully 10 or better at most GP rounds.  The combined races have the potential to be 15 to 20 and thats awesome!

[Ducati23]

Jack is right on target, the worst we should see is 8 or 9 white plates at a few GP rounds. The combined rounds and ASRA rounds will have more like 15 to 20 at those rounds. It should be a good showing. At this point it looks like the yellow plates will be at least as strong, probably stronger. We had two more people stop in interested in LW machines this week. It looks very promising right now. I'm glad Kevin will make a few races. Lets get this party started.

Timmay, are you 100% full season?

cant answer that until the details of my ride are hashed out.  but its taking VERY good form.  The new job is shaping up just about right to allow me to race most of if not all of the season.

the 2 hastings events may be tricky for me with such a long travel time to get there... but if I can get my bro/dad to fly me out there ala HPT 2 years ago that should work out.  Its best if I can work at least a partial day on saturday and fly out sat night.

anyone know if there is an airstrip near MPH?  grass runway is fine.

[mwsportsimaging]

Its on the other side of town, but just call us and we'll come get you!

[goldwing70]

Yes, I've flown into that little airstrip back in 2003 when I bought a gixxer from Wolf.  Nice place, I think it was an asphalt runway

[tstruyk]

perfect , i'll have to coordinate thier schedules with mine...I could just steal the "keys" but my landings are a little rough 

I'd like to do a pracitce day there but gotta make the $$ before I spend it... maybe I'll shooot out for a TD ahead of time.

thanks for the input gang

If you buy a condo, George would likely let you land on the infield.

Well, not sure about anyone else but I think I better start getting ready.  Seems like we are going to have some pretty fun racing.  Last year the racing was nose to nose almost every race.  Add in 4-8 more riders and we could be running 4 wide in some corners.   

[funsizeracing]

I'm trying to get ready.  Having a hard time deciding what items are worth the money and which ones just sound cool.
