Weinen looked pretty good on KFX, but the KFX doesn't seem to like him. He had trouble both motos and didn't finish well at all. From what I've been hearing the Kawasaki guys have been having a lot of trouble. The way I hear it, to get enough power out of them to run up front they are having trouble getting them to hold together. The Yamaha guys looked OK, but nobody had anything for Wimmer. He dominated the race. But Thomas Brown really surprised me, he ran very well. Pat Brown got caught up in a pretty bad wreck on the start of the 2nd moto. He rode around with a broken subframe/pipe just dangling for the entire second moto. As far as I know, my buddies are running all of the nationals. They asked me to go to the rest of them, but I don't think I'll be able to. They're also trying to get Norris Quinn to go, but the way he talked he probably won't either.awesome pictures grant! how'd weinen look on the kfx?? n the yamaha guys on the yfzr's? cant wait for redbud and walnut! any of your buddies gonna make it up for those?[/b]
No Andy, I didn't have time to put the swing arm off that bike I bought on mine. I was supposed to call Walsh back and talk to Nate at the end of last week about my new one, and I'd been so busy that I forgot to call.cool shots grant, looks like you had a good time hanging out with quinn, you ever get your bike going with that new swinger?[/b]
I can't tell you that. When I asked Norris how much I owed him, he told me a REDICULOUSLY low amount. I said "WHAT?!?!? It's GOTTA be more than that." He said that I'd helped him out a LOT this weekend and said "So that's all you owe me."How much was all the shock work if you don't mind me asking[/b]
were they trying to dial in the stock shocks? or is he running something else?I know Jason Dunkleberger has been up there trying to get his new YFZ-R dialed in, and Norris said they'd got it working a lot better. He was looking forward to seeing what Dunk could do this weekend, but he had a BAD wreck last week at Norris's track and didn't get to race this weekend.[/b]
It was nice meeting you too Bryan. Thanks for helping me put my shocks back on. Everyone else was busy, so I was glad you were there to help. :mhihi:nice pics grant...It was really nice meeting you and hanging out with you and your guys there for awhile...Too bad, I didnt ever qualify, but oh well i didnt expect much being my first national, and first time in the B class. :icon_biggrin:
But what can u do, u knowm too bad you werent out there riding i wish i could have seen u ride also....Later man[/b]
Dunk is running Elka shocks on his YFZ-R. I'm pretty sure they're the Factory Series Elkas. Norris said they'd been trying different valving, spring rates, and crossovers and they finally had them working pretty well. Norris said he was kinda disappointed about Dunk getting hurt and not being able to race. He said "I'm telling you man, Dunk was HAULING! I think he might have had something for these guys this weekend."were they trying to dial in the stock shocks? or is he running something else?[/b]
I wish our local series was half as big as the NEATV. If our numbers aren't better this year, we won't have a series anymore. :icon_eek:Grant get your butt up here and try out some NEATV races! Its like the mini national series! haha.. we have been recruiting from all over![/b]
Norris isn't a Factory shock builder this year. There were some issues (that I don't know if he wants me posting in a public forum) that kept him from returning to the Can Am team.Nice pics Grant, thanks for sharing bro!
Those shots are pretty cool of the FOX getting rebuilt......by a Factory shock builder nonetheless...
I was following the races at another site and it seems as though the Kawi's weren't holding up to well other then Gibson's Walsh KFX.
Did you get to meet or talk to any Pro racers?[/b]
