Author Message   Coolice Posted on Monday, January 03, 2005 - 01:28 am:        I'm in for $100 and I'll be at Daytona to see our first team(s) to benefit from it!   BadS1 Posted on Monday, January 03, 2005 - 08:18 am:        Blake I'd be more the happy to help.But as far as what Court is trying to delagate to me.The calenders are his thing.   Hobanbrothers Posted on Monday, January 03, 2005 - 01:28 pm:        Blake, I believe you all came to the right decision, if it will stay contigency based. It would be nice to see Badweb decals on all the Buells at the race track, wether it be CCS, CMRA, Formula USA or AMA. I believe the Badweb to be a very good ambassador for the Buell MoCo and should be put wherever it can on Buell race bikes. Even if it is $20 to win a CCS or CMRA race if you have a decal on your bike, racers will do it. Where I came from, $20 is better than nothing. Formula USA guys would appreciate it also, I would bet Henry Duga would take care of handing them out at the track, but I can not speak for him. The only problem with contigency based $ is it can be a hard # to nail because it is based on performance and that varies. As far as our racing, we will be at the 200 and select AMA and Formula USA races from there out. Road America and Brainard for sure, very possibly Mid Ohio, Laguna may not be an option for Formula Extreme bikes, which will be quite a bummer for us. Later this week I should find out if we will be involved in a larger plan that would have us at more races with a larger effort. As far as shirts, I would be willing to offer my wife's company (through Hoban Brothers)to offer up at least $100 worth of T's. Very possibly more, but shes seems to take issue with my consistent donations from her business. She owns a promotional garment business and could do a simple t that states you are a part of team Extreme (or whatever)and a $100 donor would get one with his/her donation. Thankyou to all who have supported us, in this thread and throughout our racing years. 2005 will be exciting and we are looking forward to doing well in the 200. Jeff had a good talk with Erik the other day and he is committed to helping in anyway he can. Jeff feels if Erik could swing his leg over a Buell for the 200 he would do it in a heartbeat and that in itself has given Jeff motivation to do everything he can to be ready for the 200.   Charlieboy6649 Posted on Monday, January 03, 2005 - 01:49 pm:        Wishing you the best in the upcoming season!   BadS1 Posted on Monday, January 03, 2005 - 02:29 pm:        Awesome GOOD LUCK Hoban Brothers.Its great news to hear your gonna be out there this season.   Lake_bueller Posted on Monday, January 03, 2005 - 03:13 pm:        I should be able to find some funds. Maybe I'll get our BRAG chapter to host a "fund raiser" for the cause. Also...I'll help with any other projects that need a workers.   Ingemar Posted on Monday, January 03, 2005 - 03:53 pm:        Would someone care to explain to me what "contingency award system" means? I was happy with the Badweb Consortium picking the team that has the best chance of winning. It seems the plan is changing but I don't understand how. Any words of clarification will be appreciated. Ingemar.   Blake Posted on Monday, January 03, 2005 - 04:27 pm:        Dana, Not asking for any type of overlordish intensive managerial effort, just for someone to post the running tally of contributors/preliminary pledges that this thread garners. Are you up to speed on the use of the \table{cut and paste spreadsheet table here} formatting function?   Lake_bueller Posted on Monday, January 03, 2005 - 04:35 pm:        Like this... Name Amount Total John Q $100.00 $100.00 Jan Q $100.00 $200.00 Dang...that was easy   Madduck Posted on Monday, January 03, 2005 - 04:43 pm:        I'm in for a $100 also. Are there BadWeb decals for race bikes?? I would like decals for my race bike no need for sponsorship money. Always been proud of the effort the folks on this board put forth.   Josh_ Posted on Monday, January 03, 2005 - 04:48 pm:        Would the funds raised be awarded the first year? What about future funds? All donations? or a mechanism (t-shirt or calander sales) put in place to generate more funds?   Lake_bueller Posted on Monday, January 03, 2005 - 05:03 pm:        I decided to take up the challenge (sorry Dana) of keep track of names and $$$.

I heartily agree about putting the money out there as contingency money. I'd make it for Daytona only maybe since the potential for visibility is greater there than the end of season (unless they DO make Laguna Seca an FX stop)   Imonabuss Posted on Monday, January 03, 2005 - 06:13 pm:        Here's info from the first tire test day at Daytona; looks like Hal's is really going to give it a go! (Cicotto and Bilansky too, it looks like) Monday Morning’s Best Lap Times (as supplied by AMA Pro Racing): 1. Mat Mladin, Suz GSX-R1000 Superbike, 1:45.994 2. Miguel Duhamel, Hon CBR600RR Formula Xtreme, 1:49.674 3. Aaron Gobert, Yam YZF-R1 Superstock, 1:51.331 4. Damon Buckmaster, Yam YZF-R6 Supersport, 1:52.793 5. Jason DiSalvo, Yam YZF-R1 Superstock, 1:53.691 6. Mike Ciccotto, Buell XB12R Formula Xtreme, 1:54.603 7. Ben Spies, Suz GSX-R600 Supersport, 1:54.870 8. Alex Gobert, Hon CBR600RR Formula Xtreme, 1:57.552 9. Dan Bilansky, Buell XB12R Formula Xtreme, 1:57.863 10. Taylor Knapp, Yam YZF-R6 Supersport, 2:00.825   Jerry_haughton Posted on Monday, January 03, 2005 - 06:16 pm:        Lake, maybe i was being obtuse: Blake, me 'n D are in for a hun... let me rephrase: Blake, Denisea (Denise Murphy) and Ferris (Jerry Haughton) are in for $100. thanks Dennis.   BadS1 Posted on Monday, January 03, 2005 - 06:55 pm:        Looks like Dennis has got it under control Blake.   Rex Posted on Monday, January 03, 2005 - 07:05 pm:        Put me in for a $100. American Sportbike Night, Rex Chaney.   Court Posted on Monday, January 03, 2005 - 07:43 pm:        Dennis: Mucho congratulado.....the only one I see missing is when I shot my mouth off about the "dull Australiaphile" and ended up, thereby, putting myself in for my 2nd $100. Mark "Pilot" (Ross Northwood) for $100 and I'll pay it. Court For the record this is the least, in $$, opening my big mouth has ever cost me. I consider this a bargain and urge more smart-arsed American to insult Austalians for the good of Buell racing. For a complete listing of Austalians eligible and ready to be insulted....just ask!   José_quiñones Posted on Monday, January 03, 2005 - 09:03 pm:        I finally caught up with this thread, five days away from a computer will do that... I'm in Orlando, FL until tomorrow visiting my brother. Unfortunately I was not able to get to Daytona today to get a sneak peek at the tire test. BTW, I'm in for $100   Smoke Posted on Monday, January 03, 2005 - 10:37 pm:        you missed me, also. in for a benjamin, ($100). mark me in, please. tim ivanoff   Ingemar Posted on Tuesday, January 04, 2005 - 02:18 am:        I'll repeat: Would someone care to explain to me what "contingency award system" means? See my earlier post. TIA   Court Posted on Tuesday, January 04, 2005 - 04:42 am:        Ingemar: I'll let Jose' or Blake handle the details, but for now think of it as a carrot on the end of a stick. If you win (as an example) 1st, 2ndor 3rd place AND (this is the important part) HAVE A WWW.BADWEATHERBIKERS.COM sticker on the bike, you get some pre-determined sum of money. Usually it's not much and they pay down to places like 10th. The idea is sound. We may, and smarter minds will be more capable of deciding, pay only a few places and pay higher amounts. We are going to have a limited pool of funds. Like I say, I'm no expert as this. This is just my impression. Court   Lake_bueller Posted on Tuesday, January 04, 2005 - 08:57 am:        I seem to have stepped on some sensitive toes. Therefore, I'm removing myself from this project. I'll still contribute the money but I'm out of the loop on the rest. Dennis   Jerry_haughton Posted on Tuesday, January 04, 2005 - 09:21 am:        Dennis, you didn't step on ANY toes as near as i can see - note the liberal use of " " above.   CJXB Posted on Tuesday, January 04, 2005 - 09:22 am:        I don't see anyone being sensitive Lake, keep on your doing fine !! CJ   Court Posted on Tuesday, January 04, 2005 - 09:52 am:        Didn't step on mine. I agree with everything you have said.   Naughtynurse Posted on Tuesday, January 04, 2005 - 10:30 am:        Keep going Dennis your doing a great job!!   Blake Posted on Tuesday, January 04, 2005 - 11:59 am:        Ingemar, What Court said. Award is contingent upon performance, meaning race finishing position. Lake, Appreciate your help. If others wish to help that is fine too. As soon as Dana gets up to speed with the \table{past spreadhseet info here} formatting function, he'll be wanting to help. He's a real helpful kinda guy.   Coolice Posted on Tuesday, January 04, 2005 - 01:15 pm:        Yea and Dana will be in Daytona to give some to the winning Buells!
