Don’t know if you guys across the pond get a chance to view it on tv but bike week is on at Daytona before the famous Daytona 500 this wknd. Watched some of the races…2 Zx6-RR both riden by the Hayden bros (Tommy and Roger ) are in the top 3 spots…Suzuki Gsx-r600 in 4th and 5th place. Heres a coupla pics…the second one is the new colors of Michael Jordans’ team (Jordan Racing )…the first one is Jason DiSalvo on his R1-LE posting a time of 1:39.185 ,taking the superstock pole(check out the flames frm the exhaust!).

That first picture looks more like an R6?!?

Yea i thought the same, it is ?

As one of my all-time fave riders is Scott Russell - I’m obviously a Daytona 200 fan!

Shame that the year I went (1996) was the year the racing was postponed due to bad weather and I missed the race!

Met Scott though, had a walk on the banking with the factory GSXR riders (Reynolds and McCarthy), and spent a fair bit of time in the Britten garage (What a machine)

Although it’s dangerous, Daytona is unique and special.

My bad…he’s on a R6 in the pic. They ride both so was lookin at his R1 times.
