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!). Sat. morning Matt Mladin takes to the track in the first AMA race of the season.
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.
