Big Kahuna!

[gixxer27519]

I think I am going to roll up to the VIR on Sunday, I'm on call for work, but I THINK i can swap with someone for just the day.
If you ride a gixxer you get race tickets and a whole lot of stuff free...

Anyone interested in going? Gixxer42? Bumpy? Anybody?

Whats happening Matt? Count me in for that one. What time are you rolling out? Give me a buzz.

[TotalBlackout]

I am considering going up there on sunday.

I am definitely going to the mountains saturday, and will have to see how tired I am sunday morning.

[gixxer42]

i've been out of town all week. dont think i'll be back in raleigh til sunday afternoon/evening. dont think i can make the trip up.

[JayMax]

Went today, had a great time. The Supersport race with Mladin's big comebacks were incredible. Well worth it if you're using the GSX-R anniversary passes and get in for free. Especially for a free cheapy lunch & t-shirt, also a helmet & jacket check which is a great idea, I think I spent a whole $20 for the day, not counting gas.

Also a few good deals on stuff if you do bring money.

Have a good time Sunday. The races should be kick ass again.

[gixxer27519]

Yeah what a great time! Spent about 10 in gas, and ate drank, and had everything for FREE!!! Thanks SUKE!!!

Jaymax let me tag along with his buddys on Ducatis (chris, matt, dave, and another guy who i can't remember his name). Only took about an hour to get there, got free lunch, took a lap on the track (with a pace car ) and then watched the ama races and my face is burnt.

I have never seen so many bikes in one place. They say it was a record breaking crowd at over 40,000. and we were parked in the infield with probably close to 1000 bikes, and there was other bike parking outside the infield main bike parking.

Jaymax has pics (and vids of paddock girls ) post'em up!!!

The name is TotalBlackout you jackass.



Anyway, these are the pictures I came away with. Again I too easily forget that my camera is with me.

I still have to figure out how to post vids.

[JaySea93]

Watched it on the Telly. Looks like a great time, and a beautiful track. Glad to hear Suz had some hospitality there. I got to hang at the Duc tent here at PPIR a while back. Wish I could be there to raise some , next time fosho

yeah, suzuki had all kinds of love for GSXR, Hayabusa, and TL owners. All us SV owners got was a cold shoulder and what our GSXR friends would steal for us.

Those Buells look awful nice.

Sorry bout the screen name mixup, atleast I rememberred your real name

Thanks for postin those pics up...

you prolly have to get someone to host those vids so we can see those...

[JayMax]

Kinda shocked me tp see that post, first time I got recognized on the board, and I'm mis-identified.

I'll be posting pics as well, as soon as I can.

I'm glad I went just to see it first hand and see it for myself. Good time!

Ducati showed up and gave all of their owners nice parking, kick stand blocks, free lunch and drinks, a free lap around the track, and shaded seating.
Support no matter what model.
