Any plans for going to 'Da Grove soon?

[Guest]

Last October I got to meet "Bellucci" and would like to meet others and get a chance to observe, pick brains and learn a little while I'm still getting my bike prepped for it's debut in the near future. Are the usual suspects planning an weeknight T&T trip to Union Grove soon?

as soon as the weather gives us a chance. A few of us have a trip to the ADRL at cordova may 18 scheduled too.

Can't promise a 5 day notice about T&T but first points days are 4-27 / 28 GLD .. wife and I will definately be there.

Thanks for the reply.
I will try to make the race on the 28th. I have some other things going on that day but, they put me in the neighborhood so a couple hours at the track might be squeezed in. If you plan an evening T&T, even if it's last minute, post it in this thread. If I'm free, I should be able to make it up to the Grove on short notice, no sweat.
Looking forward to a long and fun season. Go fast and race safe!

We will be watching for you...

I made it up to the track about 3 PM, just in time to see a few semi and final runs including the bike semi and final. I took a quick cruise around the pits and didn't see Curt or any GS 1100's so obviously I missed you guys. The winner had won on Saturday too and was on a Kawasaki. At that point there were about half a dozen T&T bikes and cars and I watched a few of those runs and headed for home.
Post up the next time you'll be up there on a weeknight. I'm anxious to meet you all and get a look at your bikes and see them run.

We were behind the blue barn. I was there till 3:30. The area between the long staging area and the parking lot is Trips favorite parking spot... The race you saw was between Trip and a Silver Busa. Trips bike is white and black now... Trip lost by .002 of a second. It was a nice afternoon weather wise. By the way, I am hoping the weather holds for Sunday. I am looking forward to it. I am in Lake Zurich, so I probably won't be heading east to meet at the Full Moon. But I hope to be at the Fairgrounds...

Curt,
What kind of times did you turn on Sunday? Anyone get a video you could post?...All I saw all weekend was race team rigs and racers milling around hoping the rain would stop at the hotel! The track was so wet by Sunday morning they decided to postpone to September and make Labor day a double header!

[bellucci]

So I sneaked up to Union Grove last night and ran into Trip and one of our members going pretty quick. I won't tell you his name but he races a 1500 Red and White 1150 style. He ran 8.30's in a just freshened up motor. I finally got the gremlins out of my electrical system and ran 9.40's. Mr. Wizard made it up just in time to do 1 run before the clouds rolled in. So, Saturday and Sunday are the monthly bracket races and the place should be packed. I can't make Saturday, but Sunday for sure.. See you at the track

I love it when people bring me fast bikes to tune and ride...
