Are you going to race this season, or is it just a trackday toy?
I plan on racing the Formula 40 class for sure (thats for old guys like me);) but I haven't decided what other classes...... Since I will be on a 600 there are alot of possibilites.

I really want to race the Classic Superbike class but that would require the unthinkable. (Orange on the track):wacko

Hey Dan,
64 was a good year !!! I know...lol...

As for the bike; Is it because you got tired of all the guys teasing you about being on the track with orange....( Yeah, yeah sure orange next year, yeah, we'll beleive it when we see it !!! ....lol....)

Saw some of those threads....lol...

Hope you get the bike, it will calm those spirits, and will most probably raise yours, by being on the track, and enjoying every minute of it....

Hope the best on that for ya!

Yeah 64 was a hell of a year! :punk

Some of the razzing has been deserved..... I'll give em that but I refuse to throw a bunch of crap on it just so that it's done. I never have had intentions of putting Orange on the track though.

Good luck, Dan. I Hope it's what your looking for! And knowing you, it will probably be a sweet deal too!!;)
I've always wanted an 04 GSXR so this fits.... and yes it is a very good deal.;)

Orange isn't on a back burner..... My goal for Orange has always been to put it together as closely as I can to what the EBSCO Suzuki was chassis wise (minus the engine....) I continue to buy parts for it to this day. I bought the yosh cams a couple of weeks ago and I just bought a new fairing stay for it that is more suitable for my race upper. As soon as this fire/insurance mess is straightened out I will do my best to finish it even if I have to do something different than I wanted on the front brakes.

Things I would like to get for it still are:
Performance Machine Chicane Front Wheel
Performance Machine 6 piston race calipers
Performance Machine or Brembo brake rotors

If I could get that out of the way I would be happy with the finished product..... But all you have to do is look at that list and you'll know that those items are hard to come by and are pretty expensive when you do find them.

Dan,
I hope you'll keep us up to date on your racing experience. I've thought about trying road racing, but never had the testicles to actually do it!

You parting with the aluminum fairing stay i grabbed for ya?
I have no problems taking it back ;)
Glad to hear you getting back on the track and with a semi hassless bike :)
Naaaa I used that on my sons bike..... I bought a GP Tech race fairing bracket similar to the graves bracket I have on "Orange" now except that the GP Tech has removable ears on it.;)

Yeah I got it and all the spares for $2600...... :punk I figure I am going to have to put a few more hundred in it though.:shifty

It has a Texas None repairable vehicle title.... it's previous owner raced it briefly then after a race crash decided to put racing off until it was more affordable and he got college out of the way.
