MoFo Oak Hill Re-cap

It was cold! You may think it has been covered in adequate detail but I assure that however many times the word "cold" is used to describe this past Sunday it would not be enough. It was cold!

I overheard someone once state that the SV ranks offer "Gentleman's racing". Complete and utter BS! I have never in my life had as many brief, but frighteningly intense conversations with our maker, as I did chasing that lead pack in LW twins and D superbike. Chris, Craig, Dane, Zac and the others - I have still yet to decide if you are incredibly talented or just plain nuts!

Thanks must be mentioned to:

1) Cornerworkers you folks must have been miserable but thank you for enduring. I would have waved but I could not move my hand from the clip on.

2) CMRA staff and volunteers especially to ol' Grumpy Gus Walter Walker for shortening the races to 5 laps. [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif[/img]

3) Renate McBain and Allison McMaster (soon to be the future Mrs. SupaPro Spradling and anyone whom I have overlooked who went out of their way to make people comfortable this weekend.

4) Motorcycles Unlimited for all the help! The Race Tech'd front forks performed remarkeably well in the most adverse of conditions.

5) South Central Race Center - If tire slingin' were an art, J-Hutch (as his peeps call him)would be picasso.

6)To everyone in my "extended family" that make this so much more than just racing.

Thank you!

It sure was cold -- we were "making memories" that will surely last 20+ years of the weekend we held "that race at Oak Hill when it was really really cold."

great weekend ronnie. next time though your gonna have to pay me a little more to let you beat me. [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek.gif[/img] i lost out on some contingency for that. [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif[/img] talk to you soon buddy. later

Hey Ronnie! Good to see you out there. I think you are ALL nuts but it was great entertainment nonetheless. I snapped a few pics from turn 2 and took a quick video.
The picture is kinda blurry. Next time could you just slow down? It would be much easier that way. [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif[/img]

hey good pic brian... i imagine that any blurriness is probably attributable to subfreezing shivering... :p

Supapro- that is exactly the picture I wanted of your and Ronnnie's bikes!


Got dialup, the vid is taking a while...

You guys are easy to please, lol. I didn't realize Brandon was in there too. Now I really wish that pic would have been clear. I'm just not used to taking pictures so close to the action, lol.

Here's one of Ty backing it in that came out pretty good:

Thanks for the kind words Ronnie. I really want to thank you guys for putting out a great effort. Brian those are some schweet pics. That Ty sure is photogenic(sp?) :p

If that first pic w/ Ronnie & Brandon was clear I would frame it.
Too bad you missed Jeff making Brandon his beotch [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif[/img] That pass on the outside of T1 was awesome [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cool.gif[/img]
