WERA GNF wknd thread (updates/pics/results)

Just looked for this type thread but couldn't find. I figured someone had started one for us to follow all weekend with results and such...but if not would love folks to post up details as go along and pics too!

I heard Tucker Lancaster my only racer down there (to far for us west coasters lol) took pole today but not sure the exact name of the class? (600 Prod? or stock something?) huge congrats Tucker!

Would be cool to follow along all weekend the various reports, results, maybe pics from folks down there.

If repost i apologize, post link up. Thanks and good luck to all down there!

 

Found it.. 600 SS Expert. great to see Nick McFadden up there too, such a nice guy!

Looks like @23 riders..is that good? bad? normal? last GNF i attended was 2003 with Dugan and Holden...and i had hair.. but grids were "ok" then

 

23 riders making qualifying, considering it is during the week and most people have jobs, is pretty good IMO. That is a lot more than we had at qualifying at Talladega last month.

The paddock is packed, turnout is good already and there will be more people showing up today/tonight. Going to be a good weekend.

Personally, we are working on setup issues and my lines. Yesterday was good but we have a long way to go still. Changed the rear spring and did some other tweaks which helped a lot. They have a few other ideas for this morning; hoping for a productive practice.

The weather is awesome!

 

Very cool. I totally forgot it was Thursday!

I heard old mark 57 dusting off leather, wd-40 the knees and riding a 1000.. Wish they had live video feed like they do at PIR to watch. Good luck to everyone, would be cool to see pics, barber still one of my favorites last time I was there was working with Jeff Wood on Vesrah SBK (talk about a great guy to work with!) thou the weather was crap the track looks like its at a country club.

 

nick

I remember him as a 4 yr old gentleman shaking hands with me like a man when his grandmother brought him up to the shop to get measured for his first flat track leathers. where has the time gone? all the best and good luck ! bill and darethea

hey Ed did you ever learn how to fly a plane? we talked about that at clermont once. bill

 

Was there yesterday. I thought the turnout was really strong. There was a bunch of guys in heavyweight expert practice which has been a weak class as of late from what I've seen.

 

This place is packed, and it is great weather! Loving the DJ. :up:

 

Missing the first one in probably 15 years or so. It would be great to get updates to hear how things are going. Best of luck, and safe racing to everyone.

(Bring endurance back to the GNF!)

 

glad to hear that you'e getting a good turnout!

Wish I had the fundage to be there.

 

Congrats to Tucker Lancaster winning his first one, B superstock (thats 750ss kinda correct? sorry the names still get me out west) Just wished i hadn't dropped ball on sending the matching day glo yellow edr decals.. his bike stands out big time.. the kids are bringing back the neon of the 80''s

He said turn out was looking awesome too..so congrats WERA!

Love to see some pics as we are traveling down to Cali ourselves...

Vision Hayes is the real deal. 1st in ESS.......:up:

 

I think us Californians mentioned that already.

Hmmm, I didn't see it anywhere......

 

Mongo can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think medical rolled all day. Overall it was a good day of racing.
