2012 Season Opener SOAR Superbike Series Round #1 THIS WEEKEND!!!!!

Got my first podium with a 2nd place in Lost Era Lightweight. You know, the second race of the day, when the torrential downpour started on about lap 3. LOL.

Another lap and you might have got 1st.
 
Great weekend. I don't mind the rain (good thing,LOL)...just adds another challenge to the race.
Had a great time with outtacontrol and his family, Paul, Azim, JayV, Competition Cycle, GraffittiGurl and Jim, and everyone else at SOAR.
As for the person who said racing runis trackdays...yup.
One race day has gotta be equal to a pile of trackdays.
 
Another lap and you might have got 1st.

Ah yes, I knew I was reeling Donny in but I also knew I had built a bit of a lead on Scott and I wanted to make sure I stayed on the bike!
 
Good to meet you yesterday. Congrats on your wins, next time dont check out on me so quickly lol.

Damn your too fast for rookie! lol

Had a great weekend though. Qulified 5th starting in the back and took 2nd in the race! Hope to make it out for round 2.

In my opinion you're both too fast for rookie :p
 
BTW...did anyone in Lost Era or Open Sprint have a GoPro running? I 2ould love to see it. I forgot mine at home. Regretting that now.
 
Thanks everyone for coming to GB - it is always a fun weekend with SOAR. I'm glad someone mentioned Go Pro's because I forgot to ask on the weekend if anybody had some footage from their race weekend that they could send me (so I can put it on our website). I am looking for stuff from this year as most of last years stuff had the trailers in it and didn't have the curbing which doesn't represent what we have now. (the curbing will be painted by the next round - we want to leave it cure a little longer before we paint it) my email is pspriet@sprietinvestments.com.

Also the next SOAR round June 15-17 will be the largest crowd you have ever seen regarding a bike event. Our All Bike drag wkd draws 100-150 racers on the HULLY GULLY sponsored Saturday as it is has classes for all makes of bikes and all levels of riders (Street Bike & Super Bike classes right up a Q16 program, plus we do the Nitro Harley Qualifiers on Sat as well - track record is 6.41secs at 221MPH) We have also added some 200MPH HURA Pro Mods to the mix. On Sunday - Rocky's Harley day - we don't have as many racers basically Harley classes, plus one all makes class and the Nitro Harley race, plus the Pro Mods, but the last 2 years we have seen in excess of 1000 bikes showup and park in the pits. (Close to 3000 people attend this event)
So if you have ever wanted your family or friends to come see you race - this weekend offers so much to see. It is great to be able to add SOAR to this event and showcase what you do - to a totally new audience. (Hoping the rain this past weekend is our rain on SOAR wkds for the year) Tks Paul
 
Hey all. It was my first weekend at a SOAR event. Took some pictures. Sorry, bunches of them were of people I knew but you might be lucky and be in there if you're looking for shots or just to see what the event looked like. I was in the Racer5 program so a lot of it is related to that. If you find a shot and want the original just let me know.

Those are some great pics Allen!

You did awesome out there and it looks like you picked up a whole bunch of speed. Hope to see you on the track soon.

I can honestly say this was one of the fastest groups we have ever had and it was a pleasure spending the weekend with all of you!

Really enjoyed my first race weekend. the stress of tire choice was the worst stress of the weekend because the track had lots of dry and was drying fast but everyone was still going out on rains. I went with slicks and it worked out in the end. got pole in both my qualifiers and ended up winning pro6 Dunlop and Rookie cup.

Met lots of great people and cant wait for the next round

You rode pretty well this weekend. You should come play in some extra classes soon.. 600, Open, Sbk, etc.

Good to meet you yesterday. Congrats on your wins, next time dont check out on me so quickly lol.

Damn your too fast for rookie! lol

You better make it out for round 2! How come your buddy took off on Sat? He didn't seem to happy.

Wow with the exception of Seth on Bevans ex-R6 I have a connection to every bike you shot. Thats my FZR that Lindsay is riding. I just painted the Green and White GSXR1000 and built most of the Racer5 fleet. :)
 
I took a bunch of the FZR. I knew they had borrowed it after their bike decided it didnt like having oil in it anymore. Next time I come out I think I'll just go nuts and take a ton of pics and post them up. That way some of them will be good and actually in focus. Although..I have a feeling now matter how many pics I take ken will have had his hands on most of them!
 
I had one going and have been trying to upload my video capturing my wicked high side. You tube is being a major pain in the but and keeps freezing during upload. as soon as I figure it out, Ill post something here.
 
Spazio, you should post the still you sent me. That picture is worth the dumped ride!
