    Dude, you would go great there. Just dont crash me like at Barber a few years back:)

    And knowing how you ride, you WILL make some $$$:) again, as long as you dont crash!:crackup:

    Rob, you might remember the MARS (Motorcycle Asphalt Race Series) from the mid-late nineties.....some of these other whipper snappers wouldn't.

    Flat trackers riding oval paved tracks.

    Some cool photos/video/info here:

    If you look in the photo album, you can see some of the names that were running in it - Bostrom, Springsteen, Coolbeth.

    A friend's son - national number at the time - got hurt bad doing one of these. Shoulda stuck to the dirt.

    I'll be running Goodyears. What compound do you run? I have CD5s on my bike now, but I'm pretty sure they will take a beating at a track like that. What kind of pressures do you run? I've never run asphalt on a dirt tracker so this is all new to me.

    hey shane, i saw ya in Springfield:)

    The track is SUPER wide. Like 4 lane car wide and we have seen a few wrecks unfortunately but the "groove" is on the bottom and nobody has slid anywhere near the walls at any of the tracks.

    This is kinda run what ya brung outlaw so there is not any airfence or haybales.

    the cars will also be running that night so we are kinda a side show except the crowds always flock to us bikes for questions and autographs....

    5 on the front and we have run all 3 compounds and the 5 works the best for sure if you are riding a single.

    If you are on a twin then might want an 8 if you want it to last....

    this track is VERY smooth so it wont tear the tire up like an abrasive track.

    I start at 20psi and go from there. Bring your steel shoe. it dont hurt them.

    how is Sammy

    Hey Rob how is Sammy I looked on Flattrack.com to see if anybody posted any news on him or Nicole but I didn't see anything. I watched the video of the crash on youtube this morning looks like Sammy got the worst of it.
