Default Michelin championship at Barber

last weekend i got to take part off the Michelin Championship at Barber. the track was awsome. blind corners that made up belive that the track is on the other side.

I did take 3rd in supertwin to later getting it pulled because of stupid rulles that the CCS runs. I race in the CRA's and iam leagal in supertwin but not in CCS. later on i took 10th in superstock 1000 and then on sunday in the rain i lowsided coming on to the strait sitting 5th witch sucked, me and the bike came out well just wished i could of taken 5th.

Congrats on your results. Too bad about your crash. Crash pics do look cool though . I did the STT trackday Monday, it was definitely hit and miss with the weather. Nice RC.

Nice work Scotty, you rocked this year! What was it about the rules that pulled your placement back?

Yeah, I'd like to know what rule you broke running a RC51 in CCS Supertwins?

They are pretty much open as long as it is a twin.

It was thunderbike and it's legal to run a liquid cooled v-twin 1000 c. c.
with no more than three valves per cylinder
There was no heavy weight on the schedule so the rc was the redheaded stepchild
