AFM 250 Prod - Thunderhill May 13 (full video)

intortus · May 16th, 2012, 12:25 PM

I had a great race! Brian Bartlow took off and disappeared, of course, but I was able to battle for second place:

Thanks to Feel Like a Pro for the fast bike and for developing my riding skills, and thanks to Arlen Ness for some very nice, comfortable leathers. It was great to see so many Ninja 250s on a grid for the first time this year (19 experts and 9 novices fighting for six trophies). The FLAP 250 Challenge was a blast as well, can't wait for the next one!

Awesome race, I thought he set you up there at the end. Great vid too.

This is the one reasons I bought my bike that the wife doesn't know about yet.

I got down to a 2:11 flat. Two races earlier Brian destroyed the previous lap record with a 2:07.3.

I don't know, but I bet that draft I got off of Adam Faussett at the end pulled me over 100 mph.

Awesome footage Logan. I am rewinding it and watching you take T14 and T15. What a drive ! That video of yours gave me several different things to work on.

Dmented · May 19th, 2012, 06:45 PM

Thanks!

The video gives me things to work on too. I get good drive out of T14, but it's because I square it off too much. If I can learn to tighten up my entry without losing drive, I'll be even stronger in the races.

Darren, the flagging tower and the finish line are in two separate spots. The official line is about 100ft past the tower at Thunderhill.

great job guys, Im glad you guys had fun. We cleaned house and set a new record in Canada on Saturday at Mission Raceway. Won the Canadian 250 Gold Cup Series and made just under 1,000 bucks. The guys up there are very cool and are taking good care of me. Im at Whistler Ski resort now as we talk. Skiing and zip lining today and I think they have plans for me to dirt bike ride tomorrow in the Canadian mountains. YEAH, so pumped. I hope to see you guys soon.
