insanity. big crash in p1350 in t2 on l1. midge has a vid up on the vrra board. weather was meh..... some fun racing. nice grids we had some fun!
gary mc caw got run over by midge (he was released at the track by medical later and walked away). another guy was involved and he was transported. apparently gary hit the pavement transition and went down. midge was charging to hard (running well) to avoid him. unfortunate, but could have been worse. T2, a fast, left, blind, off camber turn. i thought the weather was great! tim joyce had a problem with his motor....went through the paddock and found someone (paul and marie whittaker) to sell him an entire triumph engine. he did the swap on saturday and was ready on sunday. i saw his one race and he was smokin'! unfortunately cru$$el was ahead of him on a stupid fast kawi 2stroke. a friend who had his first weekend there summed it up perfectly: "mosport is quite like church because of the fellowship." it is far for most of you, but it should be on your to do list for sometime in your racing life of tracks to hit. 60 degree days, lots of sunshine......rain held off till the sidecar final on sunday (last race of the day). cheers, tex p.s. - i did get my honda running and got to race a bit up there. after being off the bike since june 2009, man am i rusty!
Just had to change the trans main shaft, not the whole motor.snapped it clean off while chasing that kawi. The map motor ran like a raped ape.:up: If paul had that motor in his side car he would never go back to a yamaha.
Race results from mosport, dont look at the best lap, they are screwed up, but the race results are good. http://www.mylaps.com/results/showevent.jsp?id=584267 By the way how many of the US riders would come up to Quebec if the VRRA could book the Mt-Tremblant racetrack in July 2011? great history there too http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_Mont-Tremblant
What were you WERA guys riding? Was Roper on a 500, or the Aermacchi? How come Midge, Tex & Clancy are in one (faster) class, Hirko the other?
Eric - Midge, Tex and Clancy raced in the 350GP class with the stock motor'd bikes. Then bumped to 500GP. I've got the non-stock motor so I raced in the P2 lightweight. And bumped into P3 lightweight. Up there you can only bump up within a period if you're racing in the P1 or GP classes. Any other eras need to bump up to the newer period. Craig
I'm still baffled at how the same bikes were scattered among so many different classes. Oh well, I'll study the RB carefully before I go up there.
