Author Message   Slaughter Posted on Tuesday, October 15, 2013 - 08:06 am:        Had the first ever season of racing at Willow Springs with MotoWest GP. Missed half the season with unforseeable mechanical and personal issues but still finished top 10 in my 3 classes: Middleweight Twins, Formula Twins Heavyweight, Formula 50 (if you have to ask, you're not old enough!) I have to say that I truly miss Earl Kellerman. The man was a great friend, mentor, would give me shit with a great smile. I still wonder about his having chosen me to be at his bedside when he breathed his last. Debated racing this month - I hadn't been in the saddle for 4 month but it was Sunny and Ernie Snair who reminded me that Earl ALWAYS wanted me to have fun. He'd ALWAYS ask when I came off the track - "how'd it run?" and then "Well did you have FUN?" Earl, THIS ONE'S FOR YOU: 3rd in Middleweight Twins this month. Miss you man! (always will)   Hughlysses Posted on Tuesday, October 15, 2013 - 08:09 am:        Very nice tribute to your friend, and congratulations, Steve.   Oldog Posted on Tuesday, October 15, 2013 - 09:39 am:        Congrats Steve! yeah we all need an Earl once in our lives.   86129squids Posted on Tuesday, October 15, 2013 - 10:27 am:        Great post, thanks for sharing.   Pwnzor Posted on Tuesday, October 15, 2013 - 10:46 am:        Many congratulations from the Anthony Family here in Sugar Hill Georgia. It's really great that you pay homage to carry on the memory and tradition of those who have gone before. Good on you, sir... and Godspeed in your racing endeavors.   Slaughter Posted on Tuesday, October 15, 2013 - 02:23 pm:        I had a couple folks ask - and this is my 10th season racing, the first for MotoWest GP (the new group running at Willow Springs)   Two_seasons Posted on Tuesday, October 15, 2013 - 07:32 pm:        Steve, were you getting into the 1:40's?   Slaughter Posted on Tuesday, October 15, 2013 - 08:41 pm:        Never got quicker than 1:39 -   Rocket_in_uk Posted on Tuesday, October 15, 2013 - 08:48 pm:        Steve, only 3rd, lol. You old fart. Sorry, you fit old fart. Keep it up man! Rocket in England   Bluzm2 Posted on Tuesday, October 15, 2013 - 10:06 pm:        Steve, what a nice tribute to an old friend. The rest of us can only hope folks speak so kindly of us when we are gone. Congrats on the great season!

That wasn't your average lap time, or was it?   Slaughter Posted on Wednesday, October 16, 2013 - 09:31 pm:        We were on the Streets running backwards. Fast times on Streets at pro level are in the 19s. Big track is pretty similar. Low 20s are super fast. My best ever on the big track was in the 1:31 times... in 2004   Slaughter Posted on Wednesday, October 16, 2013 - 11:35 pm:        The Parting Glass Of all the money that e'er I had, I spent it in good company. And all the harm I've ever done, alas it was to none but me. And all I've done for want of wit, to memory now I can't recall. So fill to me the parting glass Goodnight and joy be to you all. So fill to me the parting glass and drink a health whate'er befalls, then gently rise and softly call Goodnight and joy be to you all. Of all the comrades that e'er I had they're sorry for my going away and all the sweethearts that e'er I had, They'd wish me one more day to stay. But since it fell into my lot that I should rise and you should not, I'll gently rise and softly call Goodnight and joy be to you all. Fill to me the parting glass and drink a health whate'er befalls then gently rise and softly call Goodnight and joy be to you all. But since it fell into my lot That I should rise and you should not, I'll gently rise and softly call Goodnight and joy be to you all. So fill to me the parting glass and drink a health whate'er befalls Then gently rise and softly call Goodnight and joy be to you all. Goodnight and joy be to you all.   Sparky Posted on Thursday, October 17, 2013 - 12:05 am:        Here's the results for Moto West GP Championships at WS. Steve's in FORMULA 50 HEAVYWEIGHT and FORMULA TWINS HEAVYWEIGHT. Congrats for hangin' in there. Wasn't Earl part of the pit crew that helped Shawn Higbee win on RodRob's 1190RS last year (or was it the year before)? Nice fellow.   Slaughter Posted on Thursday, October 17, 2013 - 02:27 pm:        Earl worked on the aircooled bikes - Ernie, Chris, me, Chaconas, McGinley. He was Bartels' wrench on the 883 engines for Yates, Zemke, B Bostrom, E Bostrom, Higbee, Hendley, Ecklund and the fleet of rental 883 racebikes. His son, Scott Kellerman is GM of Antelope Valley HD. His grandson, Matt is warranty manager and service writer. Pic from the AVHD Facebook post just 2 days ago:
