Superbike qualifying, Road Atlanta. For those who read it, Jeremy Toye is racing an R1 in AMA superbike. The bike (as of LAST issue) has headwork, pipe, dynojet, Ohlins F&R. 24. Jeremy Toye, Yam YZF-R1, 1:28.601 The Buell's in FX? 7. Mike Ciccotto, Buell XB12R, 1:28.284 Not too shabby! | ||

Cool, Road Atlanta is one of my favorite tracks... Any idea when they'll be on the NASCAR channel? | ||

Now that is impressive! GO BUELL! Yeah that R1 started out stock and it impressed me then but now it's all modded up and they're having problems. We may have to start the Dyna/Blake M2/R1 who's the fastest, rivalry again.  | ||

Pro rider against a Privater which is what Jeremy is. And those XB's have had a lot more work done to them than anything on the Road Racing worlds bike. Pit the numbers of Barnes or Cicotto against the likes of Mladin who clocked in a 1.22.917 | ||

Now don't get your feathers all fluffy, I was just kidding.  | ||

R1, Jeremy Toye is as pro as either of the Mikes, and he is riding a tricked out version of God's gift to motorcycling, right? Man, the whiners are on full song tonight... I think the times are pretty impressive for a freakin' "underpowered, pathetic bike with a worthless engine, blah, blah, blah". | ||

It frightens R1DynaSquid that a Buell can challenge his untouchable motorcycle. It is *damn* impressive to take a two cylinder, air/oil cooled, two valve per cylinder motorcycle with less horsepower and have it turn that kind of lap times. Period. Keith | ||

hey theres nothing wrong in my eyes with that, it makes me happy to see the "underdogs" in the sport bike world starting to do good. and by the way all the fx bikes are highly motified not just the buells. | ||

>>>Pro rider against a Privater Oh thaaaaaaaaaaat explains it. Buell is in front, crosses finish line first so under the lame excuse codicil to the entry contract Buell gets docked for your interpreation of the riders skills. Trying to convince you, heck even dicuss with you, anything, is like catching a thrown bucket of BB's. In the words of the pop cultureassi..."DEALT WITH IT". Try, for once in your life, looking at the facts and seeing the "bright" side. If someone has had some sucess, congratulate them rather than come up with some contrived voodoo logic explaining that the only reason they succeeded was some statistical anomolly brought about my the alignment of the moon and stars. My bet is that this kid on the Buell, be he pro or amatuer, combined a lot of factors including initiative, hard work, some racer smarts and a ton of heart then came out and tossed down a gifted ride. He may atually have done something good. To quote Donald Sutherland in Kelly's Heroes...."ya gotta stop thinking them negative ways". Court | ||

Might be old news to you guys but Greg White missed qualifying 112% by 6 tenths of a second.Of course he isn't the rider mike and mike are.Its incredible they qualify ahead of all those higher power bikes.Did anyone on this board attend the race?Can you post why the Buells finished down?Sounds like a last lap crash of some sort...

Anony posted that Ciccotto highsided and they threw a redflag and on the restart Barnes' bike wouldn't refire. |
