AFM races at Infineon raceway this Sunday (April 18)
Gate fee is $10.00
Practice is 8:30-10:00 am
Races start at $10:30am
4 races before lunch with the rest after lunch break. (13 total)
I'll be in race #7 (500 twins). Maybe #5 (450 superbike) :dunno:
Cruise the pits and look for my black box trailer with a white canopy alongside. Bike #23 (GSZILLA and my 89 GS)
You can park in my pit and hang out there. Weather will be fair.
I'd really like to see all you bay area guys and gals show up :cheers:
Someone take vids for all the East coast people! It would be good to see the GS in action, fighting valiantly :)
im so there Bob..
who else is coming?
I think scratch and I are going to try and make it. I think the plan is a car pool but my truck only has 2 seats so it wouldn't be much of a car pool. SJ is a ways of straight freeway to be riding though. I'm not sure that I want to take the bike. Going home to Walnut Creek (about an hour), my legs are cramped after 45 minutes.
I have a friend that may also go... have to check it out though.
I want to ride over.. wonder if Lane (mwdbrouno) will go along with me.. :)
After I get back running errands today I'll check to make sure I or the misses) don't have plans....but I'm all for it!! Here is a link for those considering heading that way... http://www.afmracing.org/AFM1.html
:::EDIT:::
Ok, checked it out and as far as I know I'm not tied up...I'm all for the ride out.
I'll send you a PM with my number so we can make the arrangements.
I know we've got more locals around here. Anyone else?
I am going for sure. I haven't heard a confirmation back from scratch yet but hopefully he'll join my friend (not a rider) and I on the way up.
:cheers:
Will you be at any of the AFM races at Buttonwillow this season? I'd love to come up check out Sears Point but it's a little far for one day of racing.
Buttonwillow would be doable.
Adam
Gonna be there one way or another!
Andy, I pm'ed ya.
hope it does not rain.. i am so in.. i got new rubber.. im in.. :)
The weather looks fair for Sunday. Mid 60s
We may have showers on Sat. but that will only screw with practice.
Looking forward to seeing everyone :) :) :cheers:
Where is the track located?
ASLAM.
Sonoma, north of San Fran.
i just confirmed with lane on what time we are meeting..
what time is the rest of the crew meeting up at the track?
We were targetting sometime between 9:30-10:00am arrival time (basically end of practise).
so who is bringing out the BBQ and meats.. ;)
see ya everyone in the morning.. Lane I will be there at your place between 9 - 9:30.. :)
In case you check this before you head this way...I'll be here. Check you PM for more info on the address.
Lane
Where was everyone??
scratch, my buddy Jordan and I wandered around in the rain for like 3 hours looking for people.
I am a bit disappointed. We basically drove an hour, paid parking, ate lunch, walked around some more, and finally gave up on finding anyone. The only racing to be seen was the MotoGP on the tv in the cafe :(
[lame music]blame it on the raaaiiinnn, yeah, yeah[/lame music]
Manjul and Laine came riding to my pit spot around 1:30 (I think?).
What a BUMMER. :x I didn't think anyone else came up there. Can't believe you couldn't find me.
DON"T THROW AWAY THE TICKET YOU GOT AT THE GATE!!
It will be honored at next months race. 5/30 at Infinieon.
If not I will pay for your entry. :)
We managed to get practice in this morning even though it was sprinkling.
Then after the riders meeting it started raining and never completely stopped. That's the first time in 6 years I'm aware of.
Man I was ready to kick some ass :guns:
I'll post before the next race. I'm sure it will be better in May.
damn we missed you guys..
We were there around 11:30 or 12 at bobs (we left around 1:30 or later).. Lane and I went riding around teh complex and finally found a BLACK trailer with a #23 Bike.. If you guys looked for that then you would have found it.
I hope you still have your tix's.. its valid for next time.. or as Bob put it .. he willl pay for it..
Bob's an awesome guy :) Good hanging out with him.
Lane.. sorry I had to deesh .. I didnt want to get wet i saw a storm cloud ahead.. needless to say I did get drenched around dixon/davis and dried out at sacramento..
I am going to post a few pics.. and a video of the GSZILLA with its monster exhaust...

We
were looking for that. I was even keeping an eye for the Tundra but no luck. Where were you guys? Near the bridge or closer to the cafe? I did see that Mr RPM mobile welder guy. He was damn annoying with his stupid blow horn. He is a nice guy though... I've met him at one of the barf sbux meetings. He does excellent work.
and I know Bob is an awesome guy :)
I have my ticket still. I might be able to make it next month but my bday is the 27th so we'll see :dunno:
Damn shame we al missed each other. Kinda crappy the race get rained out, but it was good to get out on the GS anyhow.
Manjul I figured you were going to get drenched the whole way back...least you dried out by home.
I'm up for the 30th and would love to see as many GS's as possible!
Still got my ticket!
It sure was good to go up there, haven't been there in a long time. Ah, the memories... 'bout fifteen years ago we would've raced in that light rain; it did get worse though, and we would have called the race. Better safe that you guys didn't race yesterday. I am definitely looking forward to next month!
I just found out that I will not be able to go next month, because my son's graduation is that weekend.
Anybody want my ticket? I can mail it to ya, pm me.
Ticket given.
