AMA @ Infineon Raceway 05.16.09 & 05.17.09

Monday Post -  Great weekend!!
That was some of the most competitive racing I've seen state side.  Uncharacteristically hot for Sears Point though. Saw Dragon there getting autographs and went over for the meet up at turn 9, but nobody showed.  Probably because the seating was in the searing heat (no shade), so I don't blame anyone.  Watching the Superbike race from turn 9 was awesome, Mladin and company would wheel skip the front of the bike over the downhill crest, then skip the rear tire going into the turn. 

The biggest non-surprise was the $20 two lap parade for anyone who wanted to tour the track. Yeah, you know what's coming...  Someone mid-pack decided to exhibit how fast they were, going past the start/finish line, crashing into another bike, then the carnage from that took out another innocent bystander exiting turn one.  From the grandstands you could see what was coming; bunched up riders wanting to show off and REALLY get their $20's worth.  I hope nobody got seriously injured.  I think there were 4 riders and three bikes involved.  Fortunately the ride after the race down 37 was the tamest I've ever seen after a race and the ride home on Hwy 50/28/I-80 was uneventful.  No one in my group of four got tickets and no incidents.  Just a lot of safe-and-sane fun.

The GF loved it...  So I think we're going to others around. Where is the next race?? Nice!

Glad to hear you all had fun.

So there were SSA people at turn 9 on Sunday? Ended up scrounging a broken umbrella out of a trashcan and making it work to keep us out of the shade. Guess I will have to go on a few rides so that I can recognize someone next time

Many thanks for the EZ up!!

Mrs. and I were there at turn 9 Sunday, good day, got to talk to Danny Eslick and Michael Barnes. Watched the Moto GP race on the big screen tele in the Buell area, bought Jamie Hackings gloves at the charity auction.

We will be at Miller for WSB, I am gonna put the SSA sticker (it's humungus) Jerome insisted I take form the booth ar BVH open house day, on the back of the travel trailer. If it is nearly as hot at Miller as it was at Infineon, we will have shade, Chairs cold drinks and such.

Any of you in the SSA are invited to stop by.

Jerome if you have a banner I would like to borrow it, put that on the trailer as well.

My sister inadvertantly coined my bike a "Paste Rocket". First she says oh you ride one of those rice rockets? I had to correct her, remind her the Ducati is made in Italy; so she a says oh so it's a Pasta rocket!!!!
