So there was a rumor that HSBK was going to show up with Petrucci and Herrin. Jason Pridmore just mentioned during the Moto America coverage they are showing up on a Panigale V2. So, I just looked in the MA technical regulations and there it states endurance participation is not restricted. 1.18.2 Race restrictions a. Participation in AMA-sanctioned race events may take place at a circuit hosting a championship event up to seven (7) days preceding the first official practice day at that venue. Participation in non-AMA-sanctioned race events may only take place up to thirty (30) days preceding the first official practice day at that venue. Endurance race participation is not restricted. The way I take this, they can't do the Friday track day, but they can participate in the endurance. This should be interesting...
Makes me want to run endurance! Wow. Anyone need a LWT rider ps Herrin also mentioned it directly in a post race interview and said he and Petrucci would be racing endurance on a V2 at Pitt Race.
Wish I could be there but I have a gravel handcycle race I committed to about 8 months ago. Team TBEX will be there though so the pros will have to contend with paras on LWT size bikes. We have made sure we have a para specific sticker easily seen on the back of the bike.
Racing the Steamboat Springs gravel race August 14th. I'm doing the Red course which is 60 miles and about 3800 ft elevation climbing all at 7000 ft elevation. Pretty psyched about it. It's a huge event.
I converted a roadracing handcycle for gravel duty. It has it's off-road limitations but should perfect out there in Colorado. 30/46T chainrings and 11-46T cassette with Di2 shifting. Pic is from June. Doing some off-road trails in the low country with friends.
Did the HSBK entry ever materialize? I'm looking forward to the event anyways, but sharing the track with a MotoGP race winner would check a box off my list.
I plan on having Sublet put the fear of god into everyone, if that doesn't seem to be working I'll have Evelyne go to the riders meeting and put the fear of mom into them....even Italians know better than to piss off gray haired moms.
I don't know Evelene, but I'm getting this picture of her taking off a shoe and waving it at Petrucci.... "So help me Danilo!"
