Final AMA/PRO series race of the 2010 year. Rider count was down

west coast guys. I sat in the pits with Short-Block Charlie's team -
Wyatt Maguire. 8th in Prescott Valley.

14. 66 Zack Palmer
16. 63 Jeremy Hamilton (Tx. boy I follow)

Mikey Avila finished 3rd for the year. The #1 and #2 guys are moving
up to GNC so Mikey is the class of the field. Only one of the 3 CA. Kids
that used to race at our track a few years ago with the AMA Regional
Qualifier was held. Joe Kopp retired, one of the good guys. . . . Mr.B

MAY 1st - 62nd Birthday
Spent the day in Prescott Valley @ the Mile Nat'l.
Sammy Halbert nipped at the line by Joe Kopp on
a 1098cc Ducati. First time ever for a Ducati to WIN.

Checked on ET-Moto Park. Still waiting on local Govt.
for permits to start constuction of our local 1/3 mile oval.
Should take 3-4 weeks to construct after the Govt. approves.

WCFTS
8/7/9 - Friday night - Lebanon,Or. 1/3 mile
Emily arrived after sign-up due to an accident on the freeway from
Portland. She remembered how to do her good starts, which helps
with the results in all of her heats, semis, and finals.
250 Sportsman (Points are for the entire weekend)
81 Scott "Boogie" Hampton, Jr. - Ca.
51 Emily Brown - Az.
42 Wyatt Anderson - Wa.
32 Kayle Fisher - Or.
23 Brian Bauman - Ca.
23 Zachery Lennof - Ca.
Top-Gun (450cc bikes except for Emily's 250)
Emily makes the Top-Gun Main Event for the 1st time in 2009.
Finishing 11th gives her 8 points to place her in 33rd in the
standings. She and I were both happy to just make the Main,
one more race.
8/8/9 - Saturday night - Banks, Or. 1/4 mile
We arrived a little earlier but still not soon enough, having to park in
the "outback". We just unloaded and parked the bike and gear just
behind the Pits grandstand. Emily got her "paycheck" from the
previous night and set out to make the Final again in the Top-Gun
Series.
250 Sportsman
"Boogie" keeps on doing his thing, finishing about half a lap ahead of
Emily. She continues to improve each race. It does have a negative
effect of not getting as much practice as she is accustom to. But,
without the loss of our race track in Arizona - would we have started
to travel so much - I don't think so.
Top-Gun
Emily makes the Top-Gun Final, again. She was stoked, me too.
Banks was a fast 1/4 mile "Blue-Groove" track, or should I say
"Red-Groove". Reminded me of the Red clay of East Texas. It was to
Emily's liking too with a 10th place finish, one place better than Friday
night. It gave her 9 points and moved her into 22nd place in the
standings for the year. One more "Pay Envelope". What to do
with all that money. LOL
Race weekend wrapup...
3,334 miles driven to and from at 55 mph required in California was
like walking. At 1,000 miles each way thru Ca. took F O R E V E R . . .
Emily's Great-Aunt put us up for the weekend, many thanks. Next door neighbor was a guy that fabs parts for Ducati go-fast bikes.
Bob Lamphere (sp), the local Honda shop help troubleshoot a problem with the bike. I fixed to temporarily until Steven can see it. Getting a little shy on funds, will have to sell a bike to fund the last 2 races of the series.

WCFTS 250 Points Chase - 6/16/9 News Release
#80g - Emily Brown...Now 4th in the Series...
A finish of 4th (ahead of Michael Avila/1N) to move up to "4th in the standings" (advance of nine [9] positions) in the WCFTS 250 Sportsman Series.
Emily was under the weather (sick) all weekend.
While riding Friday night at SCFTA in Perris to get up to speed and more experience on a "Cushion" track, she also "ran-over" a fellow competitor from Arizona. She was OK , him too. Three (3) classes, lots of track time. Thanks Vince and Crew...
Saturday night was at the Perris Auto Speedway (PAS) at the Fairgrounds. Attendance was a little light, but still a lot more than she has ever ran in front of before. Maybe 300-400 spectators. And, being interviewed during the riders introduction, she was happy. A 4th in her heat, a 4th in the MAIN. A side note - the bike was hard starting all week-end. The Gene Romero TEAM are a wonderful group of guys/gals that keep the show moving right along. We were done by about 9:30. A special note about the turn 4 guy, made Emily and her team like we were the ones he was pulling for. Said she had a great focus.
We got to talk to Ron Wood and he kept watching Emily's ride. Really neat that someone with his history to take the time for her.
Also, Jim Wood of Southland offered us one of his son's 450 Hondas. Lost my A/C on my home Friday night at a $2,700. hit will pospone doing anything in this area for a while. "owell...
Lisa Brown (her Mother) and Katie Brown (her Sister) accompanied Emily and I this weekend. It sure makes it easier when a rider has extra help with filming, loading/unloading, food, navigating, etc. Saturday morning Lisa also ran 9 1/2 miles to keep her work-out pacing to race a Marathon in St. George, Utah in the fall.
And, the TOP-GUN Class (just for seat time) she again missed advancing by one spot. 8th in her heat and 8th in her Semi-Final. A 7th place finish would have put her into the MAIN where she would have gotten "TOP-GUN Points and Money"...Fame, Recognition, Glory, JK ..."Pretty Good For A Girls", especially since the othe riders have twice the horsepower. YeaHa.
For more info. Text Emily, she's always texting someone...HaHa

Attended the round 3 event of Gene Romero's WCFTS in Lodi, Ca.
800 miles is quite the drive to race motorcycles. Emily rode the
250 Sportsman class and the Top-Gun class(450s). The 250 class
had a dozen other riders, so the year is going to be tough riding up
against so many good riders. And, the Top-Gun bikes have about
60-65 horsepower compared to Emily's little 250 at about 35...OUCH
She made the final in 250 and was in the Last-Chance Race for the
Top-Gun class. They took the first 4 and she finished 5th. It would
have given her one more race. Next time...
Emily was a little nervous in the 1st race, and by the time she had
finished the 5th race, she was wishing it had been her 1st race. Just
a little "rusty", 5+ months out of the saddle has an effect on the effort.
Perris on June 13th is next...And, a little closer, only 375 miles.

4/25/9 Practice

2009-04-27T13:11:00.000-07:00

Emily and Lauren went to practice. Emily to break-in her new
motor 2006 CRF250R, Lauren to get some seat-time on her Yamaha.
The track is in transition to a "Cushion" so they say. It was rougher
than the MX track, so we used the MX track. FT bikes have less
suspension, so it was less than what you would want to be on. But,
breaking in a new motor, it was OK. Lauren, on her gutless Yamaha,
enjoyed chasing Emily. Overall, it was FUN. WCFTS is the series we
are trying to race. Not much else is currently available.
