Luke are you going up for sure? I'm going up, and if Waterloo Joe can get his permission slip signed he's coming as well.
Is there going to be a beer tent?

I'll be sending cupcakes but I won't actually be attending the races. Sorry guys. If Joe (from Waterloo) makes it then I'm sure I won't really be missed. Have fun guys and enjoy a beer (or 5) for me.

What are the AMA rules for rain, do they just wait it out no matter how long it takes IE 2-5 hours?

I'm not going to the races this weekend. Haven't been to a superbike weekend in a while. We all know who's gonna win anyway right?
I will be going (99%) to the vintage weekend next weekend tho. Little different scene I imagine. I haven't ever gone but should be fun.

I'll be looking at weather.com in the AM, if the weather is going to be like it is today, IE flash floods and tornado warnings I may bail. Not worth going to a canceled event

anyone at the vintage races this weekend? I'm heading there tomorrow. which is gonna make for a long 1st night at work tomorrow night
Was out riding today, put on about 250 miles. Managed to hit the thunderstorm and get hailed on. sweet!
I'll probably be on my S4R but may take the GasGas as it's much easier to putz around on.

friend of mine had a camera and took some pics of bikes in the pits and maybe a couple racing. i'll ask.
There was virtually no one there. I'd guess maybe 500 people spectators.
It was fun to watch but we really had no idea what was going on. No handout program or anything and several classes running at once.
odd to see 1098's, Superdukes, 999's running with 350 2 strokes

hmmm I was given the impression that it was all cars, not bikes. Was it a mix of each?

zero cars. You're probably thinking of the 'Kohler International Challenge with Brian Redman' which is in July. Don't feel bad if you didn't know what the weekend was about - it's not like they advertised for it that I know of.
It's a shame that there weren't more people there. It's of course not as big of a draw as the AMA weekend, but I figured there would be a crowd there. Wrong. There were between 0 and 5 people watching the races from the corners. Turn 8 had the biggest crowd with perhaps 30 people covering the hillside. In fact, I'd venture a guess that there were more people at the supermoto course for 'stunt wars' than watching the races.
Anyway, I was surprised to see brand new Ducs and Dukes there. I figured vintage is all would be there. The KTM team were doing a practice round before heading to Miller in Utah for this weekend.They dominated the first race they were in - not bad for a couple supermoto guys
The 2nd race one of em dropped out, but the other still won handily. Doug Polen was there on his 1098's, Woundedduc.com was there with a florescent yellow/blue 99x.
There was no supermoto racing on the small track Sunday, the only day I went. I think there was supposed to be but they only ran Saturday. So they allowed the supermoto guys to run on the road course in one of the classes. Funny to see coming up the hill to the finish line. A couple were tucked in as much as possible, but a couple were practically leaning over the handlebars

Your right I was thinking of the 'Kohler International Challenge'. I still won't have made it but now I regret it even more.
RA needs a better design, and more info.
