Well, 3 of us here hit 12's for the first time this season at the track and want more, theres 2 LSJ's on deck for 12 second passes as well in the area. So I dont think EVERYBODY is over it... maybe you are

Well you consider the group that does go to PRP is about 1/3 the size of the group that used to go, it's really not as big a deal as it was a few years ago.

And I can't be over it if I wasn't into it in the first place

Just following them..

I've got my HD 883R, then there's a Triumph Scrambler 900, a Ducati Monster S2R, a Suzuki Boulevard S50, and a Yamaha R6. The one guy has a turbo'd nitroused 'Busa, but it's not ready yet. hahaha

I ran my car ONE time to see what I could do with it and to shut all the ******* up with "how can you say you hate drag racing if you never try it." Tried it, got one decent run out of it, have no plans of putting my car on a drag strip again. I never said I didn't go to spectate.

Ok so I dont think it is possible to describe what went on last night in words, so Here is a ton of media.

The night started innocently enough. Irwin car cruise.... but then Testa suggested going to Westmoreland Mall to ride the mini bike.

Top of the parking garage, Paz in full gear


Paz Riding around, very slow, after crashing into the wall at ~15mph (Not on video but it was funny as hell)


Dave taking it for a spin


Well then, it was suggested that we start doing timed laps, and this is when things got serious.
The Professional Dan Bike Racing League was born.

Paz on his first timed run on top of the parking garage


Paz on lap 2


"Tuck and roll" Steve on his first timetrial


Testa showing off his launch


Testa Chasing Paz on the R6, and making some jokes about fast cars?


So then Mall Security informed us that the parking garage was being locked up.

So we moved to the very large Burlington Coat Factory lot.

Paz takes on the "Technical Parkinglot"


Testa taking a shot at the Technical Parkinglot


Paz in ANOTHER Wreck


Tim takes on the Technical Parkinglot


Testa takes on the new FAST Parkinglot


Shortly after making the FAST Parking lot, Burlington Coat Factorys lights turned off at midnight.

We had to move to the 3rd and final Parking lot, behind the movie theater.





Testa testing the water


"Tuck and roll" Steve


Testa (The lulz are because the movie theater staff was out throwing garbage in the dumpster as Testa whizzed by)


Paz


"Tuck and roll" Steve


Tim


Testa


I have 0 videos of dave, what the hell... Sorry

and Random pics from behind the movie theater















Look how worn the outside of this rear tire is compared to the front above


I know the quality sucks, but all I had was my blackberry to record it with.

Are there movie theater workers throwing trash in the dumpster at 1am to buzz by, 3 foot high walls on top of a 3 story parking garage for Paz to smash into? If not sounds boring. lol

There's sand pits to flip you on your face at every turn and I think the pit wall is only about 2' high. That and you have 24 other people on bikes to dodge....which results in hilarity for spectators.

Most of us will be at the starlite car cruise on Friday night.

Runs from 5-9:30ish

12121 Perry Highway
Wexford, PA 15090

Largest weekly car cruise in the north east.

Afterwards, well, maybe Monroeville or Greensburg for round 2 of the Dan Bike Racing Circuit?
