1:45 lap times got him a third place after significant work up through the crowded field - w00t! Hopefully he'll post up about all 3 races Title: Re: Tigre - PODIUM finish ! Congrats Tigre !

Title: Re: Tigre - PODIUM finish ! Congrats Tigre ! AFM Racing -- Round 2 @ Infineon today Post by: tigre on April 27, 2009, 06:54:11 AM I did turn in a couple 44's during the race, as well. Those backmarkers, and yes -- lappers, were slowing me down a bit. [moto]
I'll post up results later... short story was I got "good enough" starts, and ran pretty well. I was "penalized" by shortened races -- would definitely have moved up 1 more spot in 750 superbike, and would havee had a shot at 1/2 spots in F1. Fast lap of the day = 1:43.5. That's 1.7 faster than my best lap from 2008, which was during Friday practice at the AMA weekend. I will write more later. Cheers, Tigre Title: Re: Tigre - PODIUM finish ! Congrats Tigre !

And glad to have been there to see your first podium finish [thumbsup] Title: Re: Tigre - PODIUM finish ! Congrats Tigre ! AFM Racing -- Round 2 @ Infineon today Post by: Desmostro on April 27, 2009, 09:34:54 AM There were a couple of bad crashes at the starting line in the race previous to Datv and Tigre's first race. The delay in restarting that race meant that all the races of the day were shortened by several laps in order to stay on schedule. DQ and I were doing the boards at the start/finish and saw Tigre catching the guy who got second in the Open Twins.
In the couple more laps that should have been there, Tigre fwould have taken 2nd easily IMHO. ... I was "penalized" by shortened races -- ... Tigre Title: Re: Tigre - PODIUM finish ! Congrats Tigre !

I wish I could have been there to see it. Title: Re: Tigre - PODIUM finish ! Congrats Tigre ! AFM Racing -- Round 2 @ Infineon today Post by: enzo on April 28, 2009, 08:44:33 AM woo hoo! Awesome to see 749's mix it up with the bigger bikes.

AFM Racing -- Round 2 @ Infineon today Post by: desmoquattro on April 28, 2009, 08:45:49 AM Desmoto Sport Open Twins 1. Matthew Green (Duc 749) Interesting...I thought Matt Green was on a 999R? It certainly sounded like a 999 when it went by. Title: Re: Tigre - PODIUM finish ! Congrats Tigre ! AFM Racing -- Round 2 @ Infineon today Post by: tigre on April 28, 2009, 09:31:56 AM Nope. Matt is currently on an 749R(S).
It was interesting that 4 of the top 6 finishers were on 749/999 series. Nick Hayman, I believe, is actually on a 999 motor in a 749 chassis. I think he continues listing it as a 749 as a mind-game.

More importantly, you beat "Haymaker." We used to have a photocopy of the game "Operation" on the back wall @ Munroe's with Nick's face on it. We'd bet on the part we thought he'd break next, then see who'd win the cash! [laugh] Title: Re: Tigre - PODIUM finish ! Congrats Tigre !
