m2guy - you're in the buell press release about HPT! so are paul and greg congrats! D Estok and Buell dominate ASRA Thunderbike race at Topeka Bemisderfer Takes over Thunderbike Series Points Lead TOPEKA, Kan. (June 18, 2006) – Veatch Motorsports rider Dave Estok rode a Buell Firebolt XB12R to set the pole position, lead every lap and win the American SportBike Racing Association (ASRA) Thunderbike National at the Heartland Park Topeka road course. Ed Key finished second on a Suzuki, followed by Blue Springs H-D/Buell rider Walt Sipp, also aboard a Buell Firebolt. Estok, the defending National Thunderbike champion, was top qualifier for the event with a lap of 1:48.335 on the newly repaved 2.5-mile Heartland Park Topeka Grand Prix Course. At the start of the 10-lap Thunderbike National, BMW rider Nate Kern grabbed the lead with Estok in pursuit. Estok passed Kern to lead the first lap and then rode away from the field. Behind Estok, however, a fierce battle was waged by Hal’s H-D/Buell-Hal’s Speed Shop rider Dan Bilansky and H-D/Buell of Frederick rider Bryan Bemisderfer, both on Buell Firebolts, plus Kern and Key, as the four riders swapped positions for seven laps. Bemisderfer overcooked the entrance to Turn 1 on the second lap, rolling onto the paved run-off area, and then battled back through the field to rejoin the group racing for second position. Bilansky dropped out on lap seven with a mechanical problem, and Kern left the race on lap eight, also with a mechanical problem. On the ninth lap, while in second place, Bemisderfer crashed and fell at the entrance of the backstretch chicane. He managed to pick up and ride his Buell out of the muddy infield and get back on the track to finish the race in fifth. “All the action was behind me today,” said Estok. “After the first lap, I just put my head down, and when I finally looked back, nobody was there. I really want to win this championship for Veatch Motorsports. And I feel like we’ve got some momentum going into VIR.” Hal’s Speed Shop/Spyder Leatherworks.com rider Paul James rode a Buell Firebolt to fourth. Buell riders Greg Avello (Badger Motorsports/Hal’s Speed Shop), Sam Rozynski (Sound Waves/Hal’s Speed Shop) and David Myers (Delta Dist./Wynn’s Pro Products) finished sixth, seventh and tenth respectively. Buell racers also took four wins and 8 podium finishes during the Championship Cup Series support races at Heartland Park. Estok nabbed a win in CCS Expert Thunderbike, while Bemisderfer won in CCS Expert SuperTwins. Racine Harley-Davidson/Buell rider Thomas Michels won the CCS Amateur Lightweight F40 and Amateur SuperTwins classes with his Buell Cyclone M2. And on Friday, in the ASRA Team Challenge endurance event, Team Fat Boy riders James and Avello won the GT Lights class and finished seventh overall on a Firebolt XB9R.}} With his fifth-place finish, Bemisderfer takes over the lead in Thunderbike season points from Kern. After four of eight races, Bemisderfer has 100 points, followed by Kern with 95, Estok with 94, and Bilansky with 85. The next race on the eight-round ASRA Thunderbike National schedule is June 24-25 at Virginia International Raceway near Alton, Va.

I carried a dozen roses home for Toni last week on the bike... Stickin' out the Buell sling bag... Yes, it looked funny as hell | ||
| M2guy |
I'm not sure if I'm going to make it yet. The bike needs to see the dealer. Metal fragments in the Primary fluid. 3 weekends with no problems! Now 3 off, couldn't have happened at a better time. Maybe I'll bring Kelli's bike. | ||
| Steve_mackay |
Tom, Your bike is just telling you something... It needs to be replaced with an XB | ||
| M2guy |
I THOUGH IT WAS SAYING SOMETHING LIKE THAT YOU JUST NEVER KNOW. I HERE THE XB'S HANDLE A LITTLE BETTER THAN THE M2 ALSO. | ||
| Hugger |
dora how you feeling? hope much better. see you at black hawk? | ||
| Buellgirlie |
went back to work for the first time post-crash today. was off work for 6 days. lasted from 7:45am to 1:30pm  going to be trying half-days for a while. still sleeping on the couch. still chugging 5 vicodin a day. another set of chest xrays tomorrow. dad flew in last friday and will be here thru saturday helping me. been bumming rides and taking taxis everywhere, havent tried driving yet. but i'm doing ok, getting better, and plan on doing trackday at end of august, and race at autobahn in sept. planning on coming down to blackhawk to watch in july. probably dont want to drive though - anyone up for hauling me? D | ||
| Buellgirlie |
p.s. kelli - plz send me keith's info - i'd like to send him a thank you note for keeping me company at the emergency room for 5 HOURS....... thx D | ||
| Steve_mackay |
Dora, when in July do ya wanna be hauled down to Blackhawk? | ||
| Buellgirlie |
CCS race weekend. july 15-16. i'd need to go in a car, preferably with my dog (but i could arrange the dogwalker if that a problem) D | ||
| Steve_mackay |
Yeah, we can do that. Your dog can come along as well. | ||
| Coolice |
Hey Steve it would be great to see you and Toni, bring Thomas too!D- take it easy, it took me 8 weeks. Drink lots of water and REST! Anybody heard from Julian?? Hey they forgot the crew in that article D!! | ||
| Buellgirlie |
i talked to julian last night and this afternoon. he's highly recommending percocet to me ha ha. he's doing ok. he was talking about getting parts to repair the bike soon, and considering some easy laps at july BHF!!!also taking work on a day by day basis. he only lasted a half day today as well. but he went in for nine (!!!) hours last friday. tough guy. his wife, kids, and dog are out east visiting the grandparents, which is a mixed blessing - no company/no assistance but also less stress when home from work. he's got a remodeling job thats pretty major going on in his house, so most of the time he's not really totally alone. D | ||
| Buellgirlie |

Dora- I'm coming in late here, but it looks like you crashed at Blackhawk??? I'm sorry to hear it. Hope things are going well and that you and your bike have a speedy and thorough recovery so we can see you tearing it up at Autobahn in Aug. BTW thanks again for the pics! To Fiery and the rest- It looks like two will be coming up from Chi on Thurs for drag racing. Probably get there around 7:30 or 8:00 and will be looking for you in the pits. | ||

Drag racing update - Wes is got to be the point leader - in the two races that have actually run this year, he's got a first and a second. Not to shabby at all. I was running Heather's XB and had a particularly poor showing. I just never got consistent and my prediction of a first round exit was spot on. Either I wheelied the launch to the point of having to back out of it, or I lugged the motor. Ah well, next time I'm taking either the S3 or S1, either of which I had better luck with. Nancy came out as well and joined me doing the fun runs early on, but we ran a couple of passes against each other and had a good time. Anyway, it's always fun to go out and see everyone so come on out, the more the merrier! |
