    A BIIIIG thanks to Alex, MV, IR Dave, Bryce, Mike and everyone else that helped out in the pits, I wouldn't have been able to do it without you guys!

    Also a big thanks to all the corner workers, sorry for keeping you fookers busy.
    I'd like to thank hoopty for flipping me off on a warm up lap, made me feel welcome
    Yeah I had my whole crew in 6 flipping #420 off after a while...

    It's the new official Hoopty Salute.

    As fast as Hoopty is on that SV, I think perhaps it is not the bike for him! Something about the mix of the two just eats up motors.

    Hoopty you should look at a 250 or something, that would be lightweight, turn quick, not necessarily up on power but you are one of the best turning guys I have seen, you would walk all over people on one of those.

    Was to cool to see you out there Hoop. Dude I didn't even know you crashed the SV until today. Alex told me something about it but I thought he meant you went off track.

    Kickass job in lightweight endurance dude. All that on a more or less stock SV with a license plate on the back.

    On Sunday when you came by and gave me the bird my corner chief guy thought you were flippin him off. He was just about to get bent outta shape when I informed him of the real recipient of the salute.


    Anyways, good job dude. Was to bad about the crash but atleast it wasn't real bad and you walked away. Oh and when you came through my corner and I heard a bike go down I didn't even look and I had a feeling it was you.

    Next race at SCR you get to race instead of flaggin for you i'll be passin you down the front straight.

    We need to make a special flag for Hoopty - middle-finger salute with #420 underneath it!

    Nice "victory" wheelie out of the rats nest!

    That was motor #3 for me, but this motor was a used race one... I'm gettin' sick of replacing them!!!

    Duece, sorry about the mix up, perhaps the Hoopty salute isn't the best of ideas. I actually thought about that as I was going around flipping off all my homies in the corners.

    Ralph, I'd LOVE to ride a 2-fiddy, I just don't think I could afford one. In addition, the class seems like a dying breed.

    Bob- haha that was the only corner slow enough to get a decent clutch wheelie. I wanted to get a few rolling stoppies in there but I was scared someone might run me over.

    Remember the discussion in the General forum about the 2 types of racers? Type 1 was those that ride at 100% as hard as they can, always pushing their limits, and Type 2 was more reserved, leaving some margin for error.

    I don't ride at 100% most of the time, there's alot of times out there where I waited to pass for the fear the guy in front of me would run me off the track if I tried to stuff it in. They would have done it too, alot of guys leave NO room on the edge of the track. When I crashed the F3, I was getting a bit aggressive on the passing though. I thought I could make the corner still but my front tire said otherwise. That tire is cashed on the left side, I might have been able to save it with newer tires. Too bad I threw the new set of rubber on the SV.
