Doing 130 on the "straight" at Heartland Park in 70 degree weather and a torrential downpour made all my subsequent track experiences nirvana by comparison.

@joshbrookes6439 3 жыл бұрын

Ive always really enjoyed listening to Casey's stories, but this one is definitely my favourite. In no way do i doubt what Casey is saying however there's a couple of key points worth raising here. AMA national historic racing is an ultra competitive series especially at the pointy end of the field. The top 10 guys in each class are nearly always ex national superbike race winners from recent years or current big name young guns from the SBK and SS classes. Im not calling Casey a liar because you can clearly see him up on the podium with a microphone jammed in his face but lets be real for a moment, Unless Caseys last name is "Stoner" (2 x MOTOGP CHAMP) there is simply no chance in hell someone could just show up to a National AMA Championship round and defeat guys like Josh Heyes, Larry Pegram and Taylor Knapp im sorry it just doesn't happen. I would of liked Casey to of mentioned what class he rode in and what year this round was. Those results are easily checked giving Caseys story even more credibility. Im not trying to discredit Caseys riding / racing talent as its obviously well above average, but non bike people need to know just how amazingly fast the top guys really are.

That sounds -- with the exception of winning a national championship -- quite a bit like my first race weekend. I foolishly built a super-bike Hawk NT650 - pulled out the entire charging system, ran a total loss battery (what a mistake), pulled out the starter, built a tiny, very light cro-moly subframe, built a ridiculously loud and hard to tune megaphone exhaust, HYOOOGE brakes (which were great, btw) RaceTech fairing and seat... yep! The whole magilla. Trying to push-start a bike in the pits, missing warm up laps, etc. etc. My first year of racing was about learning how to run a race team, and less about learning how to ride fast. And of course, I had friends who were running bone stock Hawks, spending their money on track time & tires, and were going faster. I still love it and miss it... but that ship has sailed.
