A great weekend at US 131 in Martin Michigan. About 20 bikes showed for the final race of the season (plus one Buffalo..
)
The weather sucked, reached only 12*C max each day, with scattered showers interrupting the qualifying and racing each day. Plus a cold north/head wind both days kept times and speeds down for everyone.
My best time was 9.65 and reached only 130 m.p.h. It is a bracket race, dial your times, and I've done that once or twice before!!
I made it to the finals, but lost to Gary Seeley, like Walms said, just like Norwalk Ohio a few years ago!! Red lite this time. But I can say, I beat him in Indianapolis IN this year on my way to victory!!
Great people...Nipper and Gary Clark came over from England. Gary bought John Gilcrests race bike, a 9.10 racer and actually competed!! I put him out in the 2nd round.
He's shipping the bike back, probably through RB.
Also, Ashley and Lynn Taylor from Australia were there for the weekend. Great people!!
With my runner up finish and my win earlier this year, I was named the S/E champion for 2012. First time for a Canuck!!
Here's a bunch of pics. Some faces will be familiar, some not, but great shots from my Deb. Share/use if ya want.
I'll let yas know about next years schedule when it's announced. It's more than racing, it's a HUGE party!!!!
