Yes, I race. WERA West. Ducati 1098. No, I am not crazy OR made out of money...I just love that freakin' bike!

Trophies and plaques...You know everyone asks me "how much money do you win?" And when I tell them we spend incredible amounts of money, risk our lives, and fight tooth and nail for a little piece of chrome covered plastic and wood they just kinda stare and nod..."Ummm, Uh Huh, OK then look at the time"

I love my championship jacket and it is a great conversation starter. Some don't think you win them and ask how much a jacket like that costs. I throw out what it takes to run the season, 11 races worth of entry fees, travel accomadations, equipment, tires, and spares, and they get all confused...Still I hold those trophies and that jacket in higher esteem than I do my high school and college diplomas...

I win every trackday I enter!

But seriously, I bought a track bike (07 zx6) with the intentions of racing CMRA and WERA events. However, due to unforseen financial setbacks I was unable to run. I haven't even been able to do trackdays in 07. I still have the bike, but don't racing in the picture for 09 either. I am actually looking to trade it for another street bike so I don't have to run around on a lowered and stretched Busa every time I want to get out.

I do however have the ability to take the Busa to the track since drag racing is much cheaper around these parts.
