Damn, I knew Garth was a good teacher, I should have listened more when he and Jason were talking :D

thats haulin for sure, it was def cool to watch as well, i've never seen a bike slide through turn 2 that didn't crash, but i saw it with my own eyes.. I thought i was doing good just keeping WOT through there LOL i believe his entire race was a 1:07's except maybe the start lap. Now.. if i can just figure a way to get 1.4 seconds a corner we'll be good & i'll tie jason's record LOL

I was feeling like a superstar running a 17 on an old tired SV. They just keep getting faster! When will it end!

I watched at least half of his races and I saw him waving his arms at people at least ten times. He was waving at Olson and Hall to follow him after he passed them in T1, at slow amateurs as he passed them or on cool down laps (I'm assuming because he was annoyed by how slow they were), and a few times at no one in particular going into T1 behind other riders as he was tipping in. I've watched him ride a bunch of times and never seen anything like that before, it was pretty funny. Either way, that was awesome to watch him go that fast on Sunday, I wish Jensen was still around to try to take it back.

Well,I say that in gest,all things being relative,there's another level where Jason would be slow...ugh! Fact is we're all pretty gosh darn good motorcycle riders....I thought that Fillmore the HMC KTM AMA rider went there for the first time for a photo shoot a month or so ago and got into the 9's the first day there,not to discount Jason's record...that's un-real for sure...

I've always wondered what would happen if a guy like Spies, Hayden etc.. came to blackhawk, i really do wonder, Jason is clearly the front runner for us locals, with Ortega, Ricardo and a few other being close, either way ALL of it is fun to watch and to watch a guy turn 7's at a local track that most can barely touch 11's is amazing

they would all be the "aliens" LOL its still awesome to watch, granted i don't think i'll ever get to that level, but i also thought i'd never hit a :16 :D. what i find most impressive about ALL of the guys mentioned in this thread and the other one pertaining to personal bests, is that ALL of them are more than willing to help a guy like myself get faster, Jason, Ricardo, rob, yourself none of you have to help out the guys out there that aren't at that pace, but everyone willingly helps out, thats what i find cool

This is the difference between bike racers and car racers,in my findings at least.Even the staff at the tracks have mentioned that alot...they see the difference as well....nothing against car racers...we're just cooler all the way around....:D
