What I Did On My Summer Vacation - Road America & Grattan

Just got home coupla hours ago. My summer racing adventure: 2 weeks, 2,900 miles in the van, 8 states, 2 different race tracks and 7 races. Results: three 5ths, two 4ths, one 2nd and one 1st. Now leading my class in national points, woohoo! But will be VERY tough to keep the lead through our season ...

I used a couple of those $10 model 808 keychain cameras from ebay. They work great!

Re: Removed Air Box

Run a hose into any catch bottle of some kind. I've seen racers use all kinds of cool containers as catch bottles: empty PBR cans, fake nitrous bottles, empty plastic oil containers. You can make it conspicuous (attach to the frame in plain sight) or hide it somewhat for a more streamlined look. I h...

Re: Barber racing videos!

Chuey: AHRMA has 30+ classes and usually runs 10-13 races per event day - that means several classes are on the track at the same time (generally grouped by speed). Popular classes for Airheads included Sportsman 750, BEARS (pushrod twins to 750cc, my class) and Historic Production (entry-level clas...

Re: Barber racing videos!

Also, here is Race 10 from Sunday (Vintage Superbike Heavyweight, Airheads, Sound of Singles 1 and Sportsman 500). I e...

Barber racing videos!

A quick recap: Finished 7th on Saturday in BEARS, my main class on Saturday, and 5th on Sunday. Both days for the Airhead Invitational, I had battery issues, couldn't get my bike started, and had to take the green flag AFTER the second wave had gone by. Rats! Still, had a GREAT time (thanks, Greg!),...
