Me too! I did some gravel tracking at Road America in turn 5 and did some dirt tracking at blackhawk farms in Ike's Corner (turn 3a?)  ;D

congratulations!!! That was my goal as well, until the very last afternoon, where I decided to "give it all" to keep up with the winner of almost every race that afternoon and lowsided in turn 1. I was doing about 2 seconds faster though :)

2 races too short. But I had no bruises, no broken bodywork or controls. All I needed to do to get back on the track was dust off the bike and, more so, me :D

It was a fun year of racing, looking for a better year next year!

[Speedballer347]

I only fell once, but it wasn't my fault ;D ..honest  ;)

GOOD LORD! Thats just mean man! My feelings are hurt!  :'( :'( :'( :'(
Anyway...  I'm a firm believer in the fact that I'm not going fast enough to crash and it's not from lack of trying either. I do put in alot of half assed effort to go faster at any given track.. but if it's not right.. it's just not right. I can't think of any reason for me to go ball up my bike and get hurt and miss work and cause problems at home. If I get in the habit of getting hurt.. the wife might not be so agreeable with me spending a chunk of our income on my hobby.

And where the hell did you get that quote from? Did I reallly say that while intoxicated?  ??? But you're right.. I do need to stop braking so hard.. parking it in the corners and using the monstrous torque and horsepower of my 249cc twostroke v twin motor to rocket out of the corners. ::) Perhaps next year.. I can learn to use less brakes and more cornering speed! But then again I might fall down and get hurt!  :( So I think I'll do the sensible thing and be content with running 32's at blackhawk and watch the REAL MEN ride over their heads.  ;D Ike.. always remember... pushing when there is nothing to push can be an exercise in futility. Weren't you the one who told me about "patience and confidence"? I live by that at the track. I'll be patiently waiting mid pack somewhere.. and one day... I'll zap ya!  ;)

By the way.. Carlos just called and he told me that I don't look like Baby Huey and that my legs are not tweetie bird legs.. they are quite proportioned to my out of shape torso! So there!  >:(
Oh and I guess you didn't realize the irony of this post. How bad would I have to have done this season that the only congrats I get is for not crashing? ??? But thats okay.. I still like you Ike! Any frend of Lawrence is a friend of mine!  ;D

  im as sorry as your feelings are hurt !!!  but i dont believe you, so i wrote that the right way.    it's real simple tho, your bike is  :)  pretty :P and im jealous  ::)
so what do i do ???
i also know that the half-assed effort that you put in is better than mine, because i was trying very hard to "NOT" fall, but it happened 4 times (one wasnt my fault,tho i still think i may hv been able to avoid it)(hi dan) havent seen your leggs, baby huey and his "MA-MA" has always been my fav, ........
      anyway, im not going thru alll of that crap, you know i made it all up, so if you dont like it, i suggest you go ahead and flex that skill you posses, lay up mid pack and wait for me to pull up on the side of you, so you can 'zap' me with your little tabatha girlie wand   ;D ;D ;D ;D

youre just to funny, i gotta try and getchoo started as early and as often as i can!! infact, not like many, you may be able to actualy do stand-up.....

Tabatha was pretty hot man! Sete and Carlos just called me via party line and they told me that it is better to get factory ride and not crash than to keep crashing and get factory ride because you are Spanish. hmm... how does that pertain to you and me? It doesn't but I figured I'd quote them because they called me and I am so popular with the Spanish GP riders. Ike.. don't worry about the crashes. It wasn't your fault and I promise you next year that you will never ruin that fine brown paint job of yours. You will go super fast and not crash because I know you can. So how many girlfriends do you have?  ;D ;D
Gotta go... I'm cooking dog.

CONGRATS!Wish I could say the same, bro.  My back is getting better and I have no ultra-serious injuries.  My spine is just a wee-bit tweaked according to the ortho and keeping strong muscles is my only choice other thansurgery.  I'm sure it was pretty messed before Gateway!  Ten story acid drops at 15 took care of that.  I'll get a hold of you about the video viewing and motogp par-tay!  Looks like no Daytona for me.  Three crashes did earn me a championship, but I'm glad you didn't crash on your way to 1.22.60 at blackhawk or anywhere else.  I can't type so good on all this codeine....................

Congratulations!

...but don't get cocky.  I went crashless my first season then got a pretty good start to my second season, crashed in my second weekend largely because I was starting to think I could actually do this sport  :o, and broke allll kinds of things.  Crashing sucks - and it can wreck your whole season!

Race long enough and you WILL crash.  It's inevitable.
