    whatever bikes these are:
    http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y77...007/Bike10.jpg I guess those are considered street bikes, although there is a class for dirtbikes. Just put some racing tires on them and let 'em go! It's cool and strange at the same time

    I know I've got pictures from Nashville somewhere, but can't find them I guess I never put them online.

    Yes, street bikes! Suzukis! The dirtbikes with street tires are very popular in Europe and are classed as "Motorads"

    Those guys are fun to watch, especially in the turns.

    The Daytona Class races that were run here at AAA raceway will be televised on Saturday night on SPEED, 8 p.m. EST!

    I have been a volunteer at the Barber Motorsport park for both the AMA Superbike championship series and the Gran-Am Series. This gives me free admission to the the WERA Regionals. aTailOf2Kitties the races you had in Memphis were WERA Regionals. I have worked my way into the VIP hospitality lounge for my volunteer work. I get to see all the racers and a birds eye view of the races. They just completed testing here for Indi cars and it looks like we will be getting an Indi race soon.I hope we can get a American Lemans series race here in the future. Barber is world class so eventually they will have a full calender. Between Barber and Talladega I get to see some great racing. I have been thinking of Volunteering at Talladega also.

    yeah the bike races I went to were WERA. My bf's highschool buddy was racing for a while in that series and my bf and I were his onofficial crew, LOL. I've been to Talladega and Nashville bike races. We were busy when he went to Barber. He had a kid a couple years ago so he's kinda sittin' it out awhile. I'm not into motorcycles too much, but I do like taking picures and getting out of town for a weekend.

    I've only seen NASCAR races at Memphis and the rare trip to the drag strip.

    I used to be real big into motorcycles. I owned a Yamaha/Suzuki Dealership. My son Raced Motocross and we were on the road all the time with him racing. He was really quite good until he got a girl friend and discovered SEX. I couldn't convince him he had his whole life to be a lover but only a short time to be a top Motocrosser. He is 46 now and often tells me how stupid he was back then.

    You need to come to Barber if you get the chance, It is world class and the Barber Motorcycle museum is unreal. I will go to 2 motorcycle and 2 car events there this year, plus we have our Audi Club meet there every year. I even get on the track a little. I don't race but we get some laps as club members.

    I'm not a great Johnson fan, But that was one classic Martinsville finish. The 48 team has their act together. It seems that no matter how bad they are early in the race they work out the problems before the end. The only lap that really matters is the last one. I'm a Kahne fan and they
    couldn't get his car right all day. Martinsville has never been one of his better tracks anyway.

    Sex?

    What kind of M/C is that? The closest thing I can remember with an "X' in is was a ROTAX!


    Good to see Jeffy win one. I wonder how many parking lots he practiced doughnuts in while he waited for a checkered flag?

    I was glad to see Jeff win, just so we won't have to listen to how long it has been since his last one!

    Got my tickets ordered for Nashville! I'm really excited to see how the All-Access passes work!
