I Don’t Feel So Bad ..
.. losing to Taylor Knapp a couple weekends ago at Grattan. Yesterday he finished 5th in AMA Superbike at Heartland Park in Topeka, Kansas. Awesome ride by him. He's been riding phenomenal all season long - juggling the duties of riding two different Buell's, along with his GSXR-1000. If he doesn't get a factory or semi-factory ride next year, something is wrong. He's incredibly fast, consistent, ...

Right Place, Right Time
Back when I first started racing, I quickly learned about sponsorships and became interested in finding how it all worked. Coincidentally, I was just learning how expensive racing was as well. Looking back, the two were really no coincidence.My first sponsor was Lockhart Phillips. I had started doing relatively well ...

Choose Your Own Adventure
Wrobel snubbed me. Well, not exactly. We were planning to head down to Road Atlanta this weekend, but he's been riding so well - he got himself a seat on the Team Velocity Racing R6, running in the WERA National Endurance Series. The existing conflict is that they're racing this weekend. It's not a big deal, but a sincere congrats on the ride for him though. He did ...

Mid-Ohio Tire Testing
Gina and I were at Mid-Ohio yesterday for a trackday, or what used to be called "Promoter Practice". This was the prelude to the AMA event happening this weekend. Due to monetary restraints, we aren't doing the race this year. It was depressing to be leaving the track while all ...

Grattan National – Take Two
I think I've found a way to cut into the four seconds we need to find around Grattan, although the latest weather forecast of rain for Friday and Saturday threatens to put a major wrinkle into those plans. Saturday's already a wash (figuratively and for all intensive purposes, literally) with the 6-Hour National Endurance race taking place. There will be only one round of morning ...

Boom Boom Pow
Boom Boom Pow? Gina's been singing the latest from the Black Eyed Peas and I suppose it's fitting for the upcoming holiday. For me, it signifies two weeks in a row without riding. What to do. I'm not a fan, contrary to what my wallet and bank account are saying, but still. It's Fourth of July weekend and we're not going racing. Not a fan at ...

Pushing
In typical fashion, the days following a race weekend are often replayed and relived over and over after all is said and done. And with last weekend at BeaveRun, this process was no different for me.The moments that were the most vivid were the ...

The Nelson / Bluegrass Swap
Rather than heading to the brand new, highly anticipated Bluegrass Motorsports Park this weekend for our next round on the WERA calendar, we are instead heading back to Nelson Ledges for our second visit of the season. Not all bad, but the replacement of a brand new track for um ... Nelson Ledges wasn't exactly exciting news at the time, but I'm ready ...

‘Back’ing It In
Last week I wrecked/tweaked my back at the gym. It's the first time something like this has happened and I tweaked it good; all while stretching no less. I thought little of it at the time and started my workout as usual, figuring it would work itself out. Probably a bad idea as that made it worse. So out of action all week I was, ...

Memorial Weekend at the Beaver
Gina, Maggie (the pooch) and I headed to BeaveRun for the Memorial weekend holiday. Leaving Friday, we arrived that night and had an absolutely great weekend of riding and hanging out at the track. Dave (Grey), Blake (Kelly) and Jeff (Agnes) ...
