Same! its cool being able to say "I know that guy!", or I beat him once.

cos he was on a 125

Hows the riding level over there Dom, is it as good as you have seen in the past?
If you have time can you give us a small budget of what a round costs, ie entry, practice fees, licence, tyres, fuel etc...

The riding level in the AMA in DSB (600cc) is crazy high! Sometimes you have freight trains of 8 guys going for the win on the last lap. There are 10 or so guys that could win a race on any given day.

The last two guys I know who went to Europe and raced in World Supersport did pretty good.... Josh Hayes was top 5 and Chris Peris (when he was a lot younger) was placing 1/2 to 2/3rds of the way back.

Last year we were at Mid-Ohio doing a trackday and Brett McCormick, PJ Jacobsen and Cory West were there..... all young kids.... all seriously fast. McCormick was just insane to watch.

Dom... good on you.

BTW, I hope you never have to race at Mid-Ohio in the rain... talk about an ICE RINK!!! They have that GAY epoxy coating on the corners to help keep the asphalt from degrading and it makes that track super slick in the wet.

Peris has raced all over the place.... I vaguely remember something about him going to either Australia or New Zealand..... can't remember.

One race here in Canada was funny. He crashed twice and still won.

It was in the wet.

No, he came out to crash a lot and wreck bikes going by what I saw

Ya he's pitched a few. But look at Carlos Checa ... he was once known as the careless chucker.

Yeah, and I'm a bit one eyed, I've been sponsoring him for about 26 years now....

Hey, I'm in 100% agreement mate, and you and Dom can both be proud of what he's achieving and the effort he's putting in. Above all that, he's a thoroughly likeable cunt too.

Total damage cost of $25-000 NZ less $ 10-000 supplied by his dad.

He can ride, but only when he stays on it seems!

Some one involved in this thread told me NOT to take him on
