AFM# 691, 2000 season only. Ran out of money and I sucked anyway. Race bike is now on the street after a lot of (my) blood, sweat, tears, and cash.

I think I am in the same boat as Superhawk2000. Paid registration, took the class part of the AFM school. Mounted up my 96 GSX-R 750 and proceeded to spit and sputter around the track with carburetor problems. Could not take my rider test. I believe it was Thanksgiving or some other holiday of 98 and it was windy as hell. Let my friend Jessie Broadway take the bike and I was going to come back but never did. We were going to share a ride and do different classes throughout the season. Track schools are about all I make time for now.

Super Motard racer here.... My first experience on the track was good and bad. I was comfortable and fast until I got a little overzealous and highsided resulting in a broken ankle. That was aug 25 of this year and I'm home now from motard race #2. I was not comfortable with my bike today until the last race. It felt squirmy all over I'm sure I wasn't the same today . Without riding for two months waiting for my ankle to heel and then jumping into a racing situation I know wasn't the smartest thing to do.I was slow compared to alot of other racers. I managed to keep my bike up all day but with a few pucker factors( damn front tire stick STICK) I raced but not at full pace. I chocked every start to hang back from the field and when fast guys would come up on me I would let them by. I wanted to get back on the horse today. I feel I did, also I learned and played with suspension and tire pressures and was able to feel the difference and know I was going the right direction. I look foward to the winter dirt riding season to get practice on slipery surfaces. The new year is almost upon us and I will be there on the grid next year being a better rider.


Am I a racer?

Budman told me soundoff on this thread. Does YSR racing count? It's sanctioned GSMRRA (formerly NCMRRA) event. I've been doing it for two seasons.

I would love to do AFM but the time and $$$s are my limiting factor.

More about my racing can be found here: turboed.com

Checkin in, per Budman's request.

Moved to Cali in 84 to try road racing since there was not much of a scene in PA.
Joined the AFM & campainged a 82 GPZ 550 #681, switched to a 500 Interceptor & a SR500 for 85, like everyone I got a GSXR 750 in 86 & ran that along side the SR & Interceptor.
In 87 I drop kicked the Interceptor & added a GSXR 1100. Started traveling outside california for races @ Portland, Phoniex, & Steamboat.
In 88 I sold everything & bought new GSXRs (750 & 1100) & a 600 Katana. Did every AFM event & approx 10-12 other races.
89 to 91 I rode a few AFM races, but concentrated on the GSXR series.
End of 91 I sold everything, got married & got back into dirt bikes.

Click to expand...

I still do the occasional track day on either a RVF 400 or R6 & have to agree, the new stuff is so good.

In 88 I got som help from Metzeler, their top tire was still the CompK & then the bias ME1. Makes my collar bones ache just thinking about them :laughing

AFM #303 (was #304 first season)

Started in 93 (I think, might have been 92 - sucks getting older) with a HawkGT in 650 twins. Just before(?) the SV650 came out sold it and got a Superhawk because I didn't want to throw money into the engine. Haven't had much time the last coupla years but hope to get back to it soon.
