Hello everyone,

Since I do not have any computers I will have to make it short for now.

I sincerely apologize for my lack of better judgement yesterday. It was not the day I had in mind. It was my misfutune for having as many people as we did. Having to kick people out would have made for a better experience but I just did not have the heart to. This will never happen again.

The crashes really made my week not because of the airlift transport but just the lack of better judgement from some people. I encourge everyone to learn and get better which inturn you will go faster. The wind was such a factor yesterday yet not many people cared. I even had an idiot tell me and Doc that he knows he is not fast but just wants to do 100% max and see if he will not crash the bike. He will not be back and as for many of the people we saw yesterday.

As an organizer of small events I was stupid in the fact that out of all the events we have had this was the first event where I only knew half the riders. Generally I chose who would come to an event and this seems to be the only way to keep calmness.

For the people who came to out event yesterday for the first time I hope this incident did not make anyone think poorly of speedyard or BARF. I did my best and I wish I could have done more but it was over my head. With the help of Doc Wong it did go better.

I/we hope that everyone from BARF will attend out next event in July at Thunderhill. We do promise calmness, less people hand picked and better food.

As a last note I do know that some people did see me lose my composure for a while. Please accept my apologize for my rudeness and behavoir. This will not happen again. Thank you for your time

Ed - despite the factors that led to what you believe to have been a lessened experience by the attendees, I can assure you that everyone from this site walked away from the day with enormous smiles on their faces. We all thank you for the hard work you put into the events and you know we're all anxious to return.

So from all of us... Thank you! :teeth

Ed, thanks again for holding this event, i can speak for myself here and say that your past events were nothing like this and that they are usually VERY calm and friendly and orderly. This is just a learning experience and a lot of it was outof your control. So i am sure no one will think anything bad of speedyard. It was more the riders, not the organizer. The organizing was great, the aggressiveness of the riders was what was out of hand.

For all those that have never been to one of Speedyards events, thsi was not representative of the usual events, it was an outlier.

Thanks Ed.

Ed, part of having a track day is not just you as a promoter, but also the riders. I can't understand all the stragglers showing up past 8:00. It shows on your web site times for all parts of the day, tech, riders meettings etc. The problem starts there, then you have the riders that don't prep their bikes properly before going out on the track, and finally the riders who don't care what you say, they are going to go out and ride 100% of what they think is their ability. I plan on making all your events because I enjoy doing trackdays with familiar faces. So in future trackdays if you need help with tech or keeping an eye out on riders breaking the rules while on the track let me know. For any of you that were out there on the track for the first time, don't judge the speedyard by what went on out there on tuesday. Like ed said, he will fix those problems.

id like to aplogize on behalf of 5150 for any unfit conduct on the track. I think wei know who im speaking of. Ive had a talk with the party involved and it is understood that there is are certain things which should and should not go on in certain places. I hope that 5150 as a whole conducted ourselves with the proper decorum that is expected. if there were any other issues, please let me know and ill resolved them.
on a side note, everyone had a great time and hope to attend more events if you dont mind having us back.

I do think that most of the 5150 crew did behalf. I saw many familiar faces and that was nice. For the most part I think the day was just a little over my head for both groups. Next time I will have a private meeting in the east bay just for the groups like the last event. I think it will run much smoother next time.

As the the BARF crew...........Damn that chicken!!! He was so fast....................:D

Hi Ed,

Crashes happen. I think the day went very smoothly after lunch!

In the morning with combination of wind and colder temperatures became a problem for a few riders, but by the afternoon with the temperatures warming up, I found the wind not much of a problem.

I found that ducking low and getting your bike leaned over as soon as possible minimized the effect of the winds.

Hi Ed! I emailed to get info on the 7/10 day and hope to be there. Also, if you need anyone for Tech, you might want to try Terry Arner (T&A Racing/Powersports). He's a great guy, might be willing to help with coaching and set-up as well. His number is (559) 658-8697.

Look forward to seeing you there!
