Tigerbike racing back in action! AFM Round 3 May 24/25 Infineon Raceway

[DanTheMan]

Race fans, incase you didn't get enough excitement last week Tigerbike racing is back for round three of AFM racing.

Tigre-Coming off his first AMA round is looking to make a big comeback in Opentwins, 750 superbike and Formula 1. After last rounds disastrous brake failure he's going to have to work his way up through the grip. His new found speed and experience from riding AMA could boost him back to the top 5 in Open twins.

DATV- After mechanical problems keeping out of the second round, he'll have to get back to work to earn those starting positions he fought for in the first round. 750 Superbike and Formula 1 we'll be the classes to watch for big things from DATV.

DanTheMan- So far its been a great start to the season finishing 2nd in both 250p races, just looking to keep the momentum going and hopefully secure my first win. Also looking to take over the championship points lead which im trailing by one point. Also looking to keep riding hard in 500Twins. Currently 3rd in the championship points and I'll try to hold off the 500's as long as I can.

Schedule races start around 10:30 on Sunday

I'm there, and I'm not missing 250P this time. [moto]

Gonna take a few rest days this week, but I'll be there.  I think DQ needs to be on cafe duties again.

It may take some mild arm-twisting but he's probably open to the idea.

Wish I could be in town for this one! 

Tigre, I can't believe you're racing again.  Why not just be a spectator for a weekend?  You so crazy... 

DTM, would love to see you out there.  I missed your 250 race because someone had to go an crash and be all "look at me, my bike's in 14 pieces, my foot's pointing the wrong way, blah, blah, blah..."    Your season is shaping up nicely. 

DATV, I would like to be there when things start to click for you again.  I know it's going to happen any day now.   

Good luck all

Hmm...might have to try to make it up for this one.

But I'm not about to load Miss Silvia onto the back of the bike 

[CharliesAngel]

Wow - sounds like we shouldn't miss this AFM Round- looking forward to it!   
Do they have food that one can buy for lunch there?

I can always put it in the truck. I still can't ride.

[tigre]

You'll always be my cabana boy, John.

Hi,
Could someone post the exact time and race title that you are all going to be racing in? Many thanks!

From my quick conversation with Tigre the other night, it sounds like Sunday's going to be a full race day. He said he wanted to do all of his classes, Opentwins, 750 superbike and Formula 1.

He feels that just getting to AMA last week was a huge success, but would like to focus more on the AFM races, and earn more points there. He's seated fairly well, and could very likely be in the top runnings by the last races of the season. I agree with him on that. It will also gives us further opportunity to test, refine, and develop the bike so he can get the absolute best potential from it.

We kicked around the idea of AMA at Laguna, in September, but for now it's just an idea.

BTW, I think DTM's got the whole weekend's schedule up in the first post.

its not that simple, start times vary on many factors. The best i can tell you is the start around 10:00am and lunch is always 12:00-:1:00. Lunch may start late but it always ends at 1pm and race 5 starts there after. Hopefully its a smooth day and all races will go one right after the other. Bad days there can be some timely delays.

[DanTheMan]

Rain delay today, got a couple of practice sessions in then it started coming down. Probably shot for the rest of the day

Tomorrow, were still on, unless it rains then the'll cancel. So we wont know till tomorrow.

Hey DTM... Just found a brand new EBC rotor for the 250 on the clearance rack @ Cycle Gear (SF).
It was marked $139.99, and is now 60% off. Let me know, and I can go grab it.
