World SuperBike

June 1, 2011 Posted by mitch | family, racing, WSBK | 0 Comments

Took the family out to WSBK on Monday, and enjoyed it thoroughly. Everyone got a little sun burnt even... yeah... from the 10 minutes of sun there was, and the sub 55 degree temperatures. Zoey seemed to like watching a bit... until she discovered all the rocks on the ground... then that was more interesting. She was also a little shocked at first about the noise, but still managed to sleep through the AMA SuperBike race.... go figure... She was exhausted tho. Congrats to Checa for the 1 2 win! For Ducati claiming they aren't competitive.... he's the current leader on points with a non-factory team. Stop whining and RACE!


Ultimate Gift/Vacation

If you didn't know already... I'm a huge fan of Cars.  Love 'em, or hate... depending on the car.  With my recent trips out to MillerMotorsports Park, to watch World SBK and do a little Kart Racing.  I find myself thinking about it a lot more than I ever used to.  Before I never did any of it, because of the cost... Now, being older... and thinking that Kart Racing gets me most of the thrill, or all of it, if you take the kart size ratio into account.  I could do that... Kart Racing is relatively cheap... but I really need to loose some weight... However... regardless of how fun Kart Racing is (and I really mean it is).  Its still not "Car" racing.  I would love to take my motorcycle out on the track, but I'm also weary of wrecking on it... 

Enter Skip Barber Racing School. Their Open Wheel Racing school would be completely amazing.  I would love to take a mini F1, or big Go Kart, out on a track and have some instructions on how to do it all right.... One day.... One day...
