+1.Now that was a race report!! ;) Yes,as KOS stated 1st gear was designed for Daytona! How was the spacing on 2nd-5th? Reverse shifting OK? Great job you.Ken,and all of ya'll!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D 8) Bill

Trans was good.  We'll be racing at Daytona last race of the year.....so hopefully that 1st gear will come in handy.  For now we have to set the bike up around it.  Spacing btw 2-5 was good.  Back shifting was perfect all weekend.  Ken and Todd did an amazing job rebuilding the shift linkage.  At Road America is was very sloppy.  There was at least 3" of travel before it would engage.  Not ideal when you're picking the bike up off a right hand corner and need to grab a quick shift.  This was due to running rearsets and having the shift linkage come off the rearset like on most modern bikes.  There was really no way to adjust the slop.  Now it's a completely different bike in that regard.  Nice short throw.  I'm not sure if there are pics yet, but wait till you see how they changed it.  "slight modification" might be a good description...

Excellent question Stev-o.  There's a possibility that the Barber/Daytona trip will be made, but nothing has been solidified yet.

I'm going to be honest, but if that trip is made, I'm going to try and take out all the stops and get as much media created as possible.

hey.....cool pictures.  i was hoping they'd have some from the back carousel where we really had it leaned over.

it's going to be a great battle for the championship.  we are in a very close 2nd place right now and i like our chances.  the team was thinking about running at miller this weekend or possibly the new NOLA track in new orleans nxt weekend...but ultimately those races were not races that we committed to from the start, so it's pretty hard to change the plans we've had all along.  sure it would have been nice to erase our 2 bad finishes, but won't be necessary to win the championship. 

next up will be the barber vintage festival october 11-14.  biggest race of the year.  i get around there pretty well and won 3 out of 4 races there last year, losing only to kevin schwantz:)    there is a 2nd class that we can race the bike in, and it's called Formula Vintage.  it's kind of a run what ya brung class.  former 3 time AMA grand national champion jay springsteen will be racing an ex pro flattrack XR750 set up for road racing.  it's bad ass and he gets around barber in a hurry!  i'm hoping to race him heads up on one of the days.

after that, we'll close the season out at the legendary daytona international speedway.  letting the cycle x superbike rip on the fabled high banks is going to be awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!  i hope we can get a radar gun on it.  we had a GPS on the bike at grattan and got it up to 141.  i think it's good for 150 at daytona.

tim, how did you get a hold of the photog???  i've been emailing that guy forever with no reply.

trying to see if he got any shots of me on my triumph 675.  usually you can pay them $25 for a CD with all images of the rider.

Kevin - we ended up calling him and emailing him simultaneously.  Turns out, after Gingerman he was on his honeymoon and ended up breaking his foot.  :)  If you haven't tried in the last week or so, give it another shot.

I dont want to miss this on the track. How do we know when the races are? Are they tightly scheduled?

Well, according to the schedule of events on the website, racing goes from 8-11am on Saturday and Sunday.  I don't think we'll have an idea of when we run until we get there and see the schedule.

Hopefully, if the decision is made, there might be an extra individual on-site to help with getting word out about results and maybe getting pics (and hopefully video) up during the weekend.

Stay tuned!  :)
