yeah, yer "famous" Mikey! oser more like INfamous I just wont say anything about you crashing twice in the first two corners how's that Toffee n' Beer treating you? Perfect Xmas presents or what? no problem guys! I only do it because I know three of four people might actually enjoy it.... so its for you
yeah how's the workout regiment goin there buddy?? if you were lining up on the beginner row, Id be driving out there twice a week dropping the stuff off!
I just got caught up on your thread. I wanted to say I really enjoyed your thread, eatpasta, and all of your video reports, those are really great. And the last installment is no exception. Really well done. I think you set the new standard for race reports with those video narrations with a few select photos. That's a great way to tell your story and describe the races and what all happened. Very cool! Good luck next year.
Thanks for the vids and the "whole season" AJ!! It was a blast!! Can't wait for the "less of a noob goes racing" thread!
thanks guys! I really appreciate the interest and support. I wasnt really planning on doing very many more because its kinda the same stuff over and over. I figure one season is enough. Ill probably chime in now and then with updates. For now im waiting for my foot to heal enough to race again. Im shooting for Checkers in late Feb, then the next one in March. Im really pissed about missing the marathon - but ill be training up real soon!!
You gunna be there?! Last year checkers was a BLAST - probably my favorite race of the year. Thats when I had my Johnny Campbell moment.
remember in Checkers last year after all the single track there was that dry lakebed? I was stuck behind a bunch of kids because I suck but when I got to that lakebed, I took off and passed a big group - so I had the Dust To Glory-wide-open-at-100-mph-passing-everyone-Johnny-campbell-through-the-dry-lakebed-kicking-ass-taking-names-on-the-650R feeling it was brief. but incredible! kinda like leading a race!
me too! its where 4 strokes rule! I like sand washes too.... i almost always pick up a few spot in the sand and I like thumbs up too
Awesome video summary of the Catalina. I dunno how you find the time to edit all that video, and more importantly how to talk to the camera like that. You only said "Aahh, I dunno what to say next" once the whole season! Ive thought about doing similar vid's but I dont think I have the same self confidence and good looks. No no no no, this is a total cop out. Why the heck cant we follow all your races this year? ANYWAY.... It's very likely that I will be going to the Riff Raff rally school in Nevada/Dumont dunes area in mid April (www.rallymanagementservices.com). Its three days of camping and riding all day, navigation training for rally events; your very own mini-rally if you like. I think its high time you gave it a bash too. Are we going to see you there? PM me if youre keen. The same goes you too airbornedad and motomike. Would be great to have a beer with you guys regarldess.
