Geoff was only about 0.8 sec off the top spot in the first practice at Barber

Stuporbikeplanet won't comment on this I'm sure.

WOW. . . I am really proud of the job that Erik and a handful of Elves have done. They are smack dab in the middle of the mix with folks spending millions a year.

Well done!

Eslick gets 2nd so doesn't win championship this year but gave it a good run without a Buell so they can all shove it!

Watching live timing right now. I don't want to spoil it for anyone (the race is a little more than half over right now) but watching or recording the race tonight is a MUST!

I don't want to spoil it either.

However. Geoff beat Josh Hayes!!

I had so many heartstopping moment watching the live timing I had to have a shot of whiskey afterwards to settle myself down.

I can't wait to watch it on Speed tonite.

Erik Buell Racing, Geoff and the Elves are just simply amazing!

LOL! I think my wife was getting pretty annoyed at me jumping with joy and shouting with frustration with each position change. I don't think I've ever gotten so emotional watching numbers shifting on a computer screen before.

Can't wait to watch it tonight. He MUST get some good face-time on this one. Though I have to give the announcers credit - they have been talking him up over the past few races.

Very cool?

Is that all you have to say, Court.

Do you realize Geoff was leading for a brief moment.

The two 6th place finishes this weekend is HUGE!

Maybe I am over excited, but I think it translates to a big sponsor next year and Geoff and the gang doing fantastic things (read: championship contender) with the 1190RR.

I've been paying close attention this year and have observed:
1) The 1125RR does not lose much in terms of laptimes in the second half of the race which means excellent mechanical grip.
2) On gnarley tracks, the HP disadvantage is equalized to a degree and the 1125RR sort-of kind-of keeps up.

With the added HP of the 1190RR next year, and a great sponsorship, Erik Buell Racing, Geoff and the 1190RR will be seeing podiums.

I'm confident!


Let me also take this opportunity to thank Erik and RatPack records for having the courage to put it all on the line to make 2010 yet another memorable Buell racing year at the highest level.

Plus 1 on that Asbjorn, and I still am a little surprised at how many people STILL do not know fully what a Buell is. BUT THEY WILL! Its simply amazing what a very small company with only a very limited budget can do with the right people and desire. Outstanding Erik and the guys! Gettin''er done, one race at a time. Proud to be a Buell rider. Bob

Just watching it here four hours behind East Coast time. Wow! What a race. Geoff did a great job, rode in the lead pack most of the way. Can't wait for next year.

Got to see the race Sunday at Barber. What a race! Geoff was riding the wheels off that 1125RR. So damn close to a podium.

Got to meet Geoff and Erik before the race. All in all it was an awesome weekend. I can't wait to see what Geoff can do with the 1190 next year.

Can anyone with computer skills grab a video of that part in lap 5 when he's in the lead? I'd love to have a Youtube video of that.

I desperately need a DVD of the race . . . I have an engineer friend who is glued to the ceiling and I need it to lure him down . . .
