Just finished adding the race writeup to the web site. We had a good weekend and showed well at our first AMA event. We finished 20th in the rain in American Superbike race 1 and 18th in the dry for race 2.

I'll post some pics and vids as they become available.

Thanks for all the love and support! :)

That was a great read Ron and congratulations for finishing 18th! "in the money" as you said. My family is happy for you and we hope to see you again on Wednesday.

Excellent results Ron for your first AMA race! I can't wait to hear all about it.
Now please, more video ..... you can't just stop the clip right when the green flag drops! :meatball:

Edit: I just read your race report Ron. Nice job there too. I had to laugh though when I read this.

I can only imagine your enthusiasm about riding your first AMA race in the rain. Well done my friend!

That's great. I liked reading about how your daughter was your umbrella girl. Kind of neat to see "nice family guys" running with the big dogs.

Thanks again for all the support from my extended NESBA family!

Here's a nice pic that Mike Nightengale just sent me, trail braking hard into Turn 6. I'm really liking that Dunlop KR106 front tire.

Wow .... look at how much those forks are compressed and the lean angle you are carrying. :wow:

And I was way down on corner entry speed compared to the fast guys. There was a lot more grip to be had, I just need to grow into it. :)
