Well, I'm proud to announce that DC-Cycles weekend at Summit Point was a
resounding success! I managed to finish rebuilding my bike on Saturday, (and
managed to do it correctly!), so I was able to race 3 races today. I was
running very consistent lap times, and got faster each race. Laura Granato 
broke in her new Aprilia RS250 this week, and will be attending the Keith
Code Superbike school this week. (I believe it's this week....anywho...)
Brian Roach took a third place in Middleweight Sportsman on Saturday, and is
quickly making a name for himself in the Expert ranks, as he did in the
Novice ranks last year.

On a more serious note, fellow DC-Cycles list-member Danny Thompson had a
rather bad crash going into turn 10, which is a very fast corner. (Danny is a
very fast rider, so this was probably something like 80-90 mph...Roach, some
expert testimony from another fast racer?) Anywho, last we heard, he was
transported to the hospital and was conscious and lucid. Unfortunately, he
was conscious and lucid with some broken ribs. If you have ever raced,
ridden, or even talked to Danny, you know he's as great a person as he is a
racer. We'll be pulling for him to have a speedy recovery. I don't know if
he's home or still at the hospital, but if I hear anything more, I'll post to
the list.

Thanks to Niv, Larry, Steve and Jay for riding out and supporting DC-Cycles
Racing. They helped out in the pits and made sure we didn't let any beer go
to waste. (Just kidding.) Howard (Koontz?, sorry) was corner working the
whole weekend and for that he is greatly appreciated.

I'd also like to thank Linda Tanner for loaning me her trailer, and Brian for
loaning/giving me a slew of parts to rebuild my bike. I couldn't do this
without you guys.

I also got A LOT of pictures and video, so if Laura and Mike are listening,
let me know if there's any room on the server for some new stuff!

I hope those of you who didn't come out at least got out and rode your bikes
today; it was beautiful riding weather!
