Joey had a few great runs against Auggie Herrera and then he paired up with Auggie's son Gage (I'm certain I spelled that wrong...sorry). Those two pushed each other and had fun all night! Gage is one heck of a racer and he's only 16! We were both very impressed with his skills. He was able to get a 1.44 60' time on a stock wheel base busa - WOW!
We were happy to be at our "home track" which is 20 minutes away from home, no long distance travels for this race!
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27TH
You couldn't ask for a more beautiful morning, not too cold or warm. It just felt good! We stopped to get some grub and headed to the track! There were a hand full of people waiting to get in the gate when we arrived. Everyone was excited for a weekend of racing!
For the event being an all motorcycle event, it was a nice turn-out. We had some people who are new to racing and of course our race veterans (I think we fit into this category now - LOL)! We had a great pit area (thank you Charlie) which always makes me happy!
To make the event that much better, our great friend Joe Sisk was able to come out (just like old times). Joe moved to Georgia for a bit but missed us too much so moved back home (or something like that)! Either way... we are just happy to have you HOME Joe! We told him to bring his leathers, as we had every intention of throwing him on the bike. We think he was pretty happy... what do you think?
Joe did great, he got a 9.70 on his second time out! Great job, Joe! Can't wait till you can come back out!
We did great, achieving some of our personal best times. We got a great 1.52 60' time which landed us a 9.25 ET @ 152.16 mph, we got a low ET of 9.23 @ 152.45 mph and we got our best mph to-date of 153.89 which brought us a 9.26 ET. We had consistent 60' times and overall had a great day! The weather was cooperating and were one of several people who achieved their personal bests in one way or another! Saturday was used as a huge test-n-tune, which made for a fun relaxed day!
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 28TH
Another great start to a race day! Time to have some fun...
We qualified #1 in the Pro Gas with a 9.24! WooHoo!
Katie and Charlie qualified #1 in Super Comp with a 8.209 (on the button) with their Turbo Kawasaki! Great job!
If you've ever seen Mike "Cuda" Fields, Sr. ride his Turbo Busa, you understand the anticipation everyone feels when he lines up! We have seen him get pretty wicked out on the track, but today was a smooth beautiful ride. Cuda ran his personal best this weekend of a 7.48 @ 187 mph. Simply AMAZING!
The weather was a bit hotter today, but that didn't stop us from having a great time!
I am very proud of Joey, he made it to the semi-finals against Big Rob. It was a great race, the guys pulled out the exact same ET 9.302 but Rob got the hole shot win! Congrats Rob, it was a great race for them and the spectators! But next time, its all us! ;)
Many others did great this weekend too! Ray & Destiny keep it up, it will all come together for you. In the meantime, have fun and get comfortable!
We are super excited to have been there to see Mona get her first, second and third 9 second pass! You rock girl! Her best pass resulted in a 9.92 on a stock motor ZX6!
The next race we are looking at is MDRA in Vegas! WooHoo!
Till next time BEE safe and always have fun!
