Incredible ! And ya gotta did that Aprilla was the fastest lap of the race . . . 1:48.949 . . then Suzuki 1:49.041 . . then Buell 1:49.431. . . and that run from the back of the pack up to 13th place . . . . . . Incredible ! . . GO BUEL RACING! | ||

Go Buell!!! | ||

It looks like Eslick was running the Flexi-Glass bodywork versus the Buell Factory bodywork Higbee was running. | ||

I am so happy to see a Buell run up front. Some incredible riding and a lot of skill. I think the rules have changed. It is going to be an interesting year. | ||

Crazy, awesome, terrible, strange. Higbee is my hero. bodywork sucks. | ||

Cool! I'm a Buell fan and they had a great race and finish; I race an R6 and they won; my street ride is an Ape Tuono and they had the fastest lap... damn all my itches getting scratched in one race!!! Congratulations Buell Racing! | ||
| Crusty |
That was a good race! Not one Buell DNFd. I like the new class structure. It's going to be a good year for road racing. | ||
| Court |
>>>>>all my itches getting scratched in one race!!! Hahahaha . . . how true! . . . . I'm for sure a Bull fan but THIS is the type of racing I've dreamed of . . . the Aprilia was right there in the hunt at the end too! By the way . . . it's REAL EASY to send Shawn Higbee a card at the factory . . . . what a race! | ||

All I can say is GO BUELL RACING!!!!! | ||

Read the AMA rule book for the Daytona Sportbike class they do not have a 3lbs per HP rule ,they only have a weight limit which is 385 lbs for twins, 375 lbs for triples, and a 365 lbs limit for 600cc fours . The Buell 1125RR got a competion allowance to weigh only 365 lbs . When did they change the rules? Originally, they were talking about 3lbs/HP. And why was the Buell given the "special 365 lb weight limit"? So a smaller displacement Ducati and Aprilia had to weigh 20 lbs more? How did DMG justify this?} | ||

 Whatever, blah, blah, blah | ||

Excellant, congrats all. | ||

Part of the coolest part of this is that . . . . the bike Shawn rode to 5th he basically put together and did most the work on himself in the hotel parking lot . . . . Dave Gess will be telling THIS story someday!  | ||

Six Buell 1125Rs started the 200, six finished. The problem for Danny came from the mounting details of aftermarket bodywork, and it won't happen again. As Court said, Shawn and a few friends spent two very late nights putting together his racebike from several boxes of parts, and it was stock almost beyond belief. It had the Buell race pipe and a race ECU, that's it for power production. It ran the Buell bodywork kit over stock pods, and they of course stayed firmly attached. | ||

that's some good news to wake up with -- heading down to have myself a big steamy cup of Buell-Aid for breakfast | ||

What a great result and a great race. The last few laps, even with the pace car screw up were quite fun. Shawn had to work hard to hold off that Aprila. 4 different brands with three distinct motor types in the top 6. I think this DMG thing is gonna work! | ||

Incredible! Congratulations to all involved... | ||
| Court |
Gads . . . where is the next race? . . I am infected! The Buells just REFUSE to be held down . . . and I confess I hope to see that Aprilia again as well. This racing reminds me of the "good ol' days" of "THE MILE". Wow ! | ||
| F_skinner |
Yes, it is infectious. I am not a racer but always admired those that had the talent. I can not wait to see a Buell on the Podium which I bet will happen a few times this year. | ||

Next race is in Fontana CA. 2 weeks. Don't know how much time Shawn (and Mitsu at Bartels) will have to really get her further dialled in. Shawn MIGHT race willow in the coming weekend on his B bike but if he doesn't, we'd sure understand... that'd be 3 freaking race weekends this month! Geeez, and to think I get exhausted getting out of my chair this morning to get another cuppa joe. |
