As near as I could tell, the front two rows just pulled away from the rest after the first lap. And by the time you worked your way through traffic, the front of the pack was long gone. Were they riding higher displacement bikes, different class, pro racers or what? Your skills looked pretty good to me and the lead 8 or 9 just left everyone else behind.

The front two rows are the best racers in the NW on the latest generation 750cc with built supersport motors. I was on a 03 RC51 with a bone stock motor. At PIR there is no way I could keep up with them on my bike. My results in the Open Twins Class race are much better. I raced the 750 SS class for fun.

Great video. Sounds like a V-Twin?? What are you riding and what class are you riding in/against?

In the Video, I am riding a 2003 Honda RC51. In the race, I am racing against the newest Suzuki GSXR 750's and a few built inline 600's

Does anyone know if Dave cook is still racing. I remember him winning a national at pir. Watching him back a zx6 in to turn 7 every lap was just amazing.

Dave Cook was before my time. He must have been very good because he won the #1 plate at OMRRA back in 1999. I don't think he races bikes anymore.

Moto Corsa's trackday yesterday reminded me of when OMRRA used these "old" pits back in the early 90's. Although I do like the new inside pits. Still, I kind of miss the old pits, and with the bikes starting line on the drag strip right in front of you, the crowds seem to be less spread out and more packed than usual that way. You also saw who won the race with the finish line being right at T9. Cool video!

Mmmm RC51 :)

seriously. too true

Why is it that the posters have to put STUPID MUSIC over the beautiful engine sounds?

[radrcer]

this is roadracing for the states- even if it's on a closed track. I raced this track in 2000 on a 600. I got up to 150 on the front straight and 120 on back straight. Other than turn 9? it is a very safe and fun track.

I saw "road racing portland oregon" and thought "shit, there's road racing in the states" but this is track racing.

Check out the North West 200 or Mid Antrim. Good example of what Road Racing really is.

[madasabagofbadgers]

oh yeah, cause wikipedia is the last word in fact. . .

[a2birdcage]

This is the very definition of road racing. Go to wikipedia and look it up.

[lukesdaddy100]

but this is not road racing, its closed circuit racing, nothing like road racing and i must say, its not terribly fast either
