Last Chance Race Weekend

This weekend is the final round this season at Sears Point, so local folks wanting to check out the paint-swapping knee-dragging tire-shredding action be warned!

There's a special event this time out, the AFM's annual 4-hour endurance race, which thanks to some crack police work by the San Rafael PD we have a bike and a 4-rider team for. We'll be riding entry #64, Knife to a Gunfight, a 70hp SV650 in a class with some of the fastest riders in the club on 120hp machines.

Myself, Dave Canzano, Dave Raff and Matt Sappington will be taking to the track Saturday afternoon to complete as many laps as possible in 4 hours, complete with refueling pit stops and rider changes. This is an event taken on with varying levels of seriousness by teams, usually there are 4-5 who are really out to win the overall or class events, and the other 50 teams are there to have fun and see if they can finish.

Sunday is the regular slate of sprint races, I'll be in race 3 (11-ish) and race 9 (3-ish), as will Dave C., who with his brilliant performance last time out made the qualifying lap times and will be joining us on the grid in Formula 4 and 650 Twins.

Stay tuned for updates, and if you wanna come watch the fun, lemme know and I'll clue you in on logistics.

Cheers...
