Ok everyone,

I know all of you were giving me a hard time about not even coming close to Ducman's best lap time. Well I turned a best 1:16.65 at Friday's practice (BHF)! New tires and a couple adjustments helped me there! See the pic of the Mycron. Lap timers don't lie. It's a real time and yes it's my bike w/ me riding it.
I got my pace up, now all I have to do is learn how to keep it rubber side down shinny side up...:confused I'm sure you heard I wodded my bike Sunday during my first race. Was in 3rd place just got around the 4th and 5th place guys that I was having a hard time passing! Was putting my head down to catch Jim (omniglh and Andy #19) I would of caught up to them but I doubt that I could of passed them for the the first place. BUT I eat shit in turn 4. So to answer your question, No you can't go wide open from the bus stop into turn 4 :laughing Jack got some killer pics of my crash and race day!

Jim ended up finishing that race in 2nd place! Jim had a great weekend.
I just ended up thrashing my bike but I'm gonna put it back together for RA race. See if I can make it thru the weekend w/ out crashing:laughing

[Champ91]

dano good to hear about your time. sad to hear about the bike, but damn those are some good pics Jack got of you.

 

[Jim]

I thought your bike was black?????????????

 

[Ernie]

race plastics....

must be nice to have a couple of sets of plastics

 

[VIVID1]

Awesome photography and I'm glad you are OK.

 

[cherrypicker]

Sweet. Nice riding. It's good to see someone talk shit and then back it up with some results.

Sorry to hear you crashed. That is my least favorite turn at BHF.

 

[Odysseys]

kick ass dano....kick ass time...one of your friends timed me on the track day we did....he said 1 of my laps was a 1:20, i wish i knew he was timing me...i wouldda went balls out...lol

sucks about the bike...i dont think it was posted around here but glad your ok dude. keep up the good work!

 

[dano5150]

I still got some serious work to do? I need to get to high 14s/ low 15s to run up front w/ the really fast experts. Maybe I'll have to declare a credit card emerency and have traxxion do my front forks and order up a shock.
I wouldn't of crashed if I had a shock on my bike! My bike bottoms out there all of the time! Only that time it didn't stay hooked up....lol

BTW crashing in leathers is SOOO cool. I wod and I get up like nothing happend. No road rash no nothing!! woo hoo:thumbsup

Sounds liek you have a great attitude. Sell your truck, buy a racebike and hit the AMA circuit. You got a lot of catching up to do, but you might do pretty good with some practice.

If I was a rich ass basterd I might sponsor you just for fun. But if I was a rich ass basterd I'd be too good to talk to you anyway.

 

[dano5150]

buy a racebike

My R6 is now my racebike!! I gotta wait and see what yamaha comes out with for '03. Cuz I'm gonna get a new R6 if Yamaha comes out w/ alot of changes next year.

 

[Odysseys]

i heard that too dano r6 in for some major changes.

cherry...you got some weird ass comments sometimes...i know what ya meant, but still weird.

but then again you are a little weird..lmao

 

[KBOlsen]

Crashing in leathers IS totally cool.... as long as you SLIDE and not TUMBLE. :evil

 

[Vcook]

Nice lap time, dude.

So crashing is kool?

 

[maks]

Damn Dan, those are awesome times and, uh.. awesome pics! Props to Jack for catching all that. Also, it looked like you tumbled a bit, right? No injuries at all?

 

[OmniGLH]

No, DanO didn't sustain any injuries (well, aside from a little rash from his crash in the pits :evil )

Bike painting took place all last week...and what a loooooong week. We were up until sunrise, Sunday night/monday morning painting... up again until 4am Weds night wet sanding and buffing... and again until 3am installing plastics and stickers.

Cherry- that's actually both DanO and my goal. Plan is to get bumped to expert by the end of this year. Depending on how things go - we'll *attempt* to qualify for RA and probably Brainerd in '03. Regardless of how well I do in '03, I hope to improve enough to hold my ProAMA license by 2004.

Is there anybody here that is significantly wealthy, that would like to sponsor a couple punks as they attempt to realize their dreams? :laughing

 

[dano5150]

No, DanO didn't sustain any injuries (well, aside from a little rash from his crash in the pits :evil )

Well that's why they call me Danny Road Rash...:twofinger :twofinger

We'll see what kind of lap times we turn next week when Jim and I go up to RA. My goal is to be sub 2:30. We'll see tho...
I need to be at 112% of poll.......:thumbsup

Rock on! You guys are my heroes!!!
