Eddie would ride that little pocket bike around through the crowd

I even toy with the idea of painting the Geep lime green with white and blue decals

I don't think that Jay Springsteen ever figured out how to race his Harley at Road America, he crashed when I was there.

Back then paddock passes where only 10 bucks more then emission price , I have no idea what they are now .

Here is the current and future series schedule from their website.
www.csra.us/schedule

The rules are listed there as well,

I too, am not a fan of AHRMA Rules and their politics, but it seems their Vintage Superbike Rules are being used by a lot of other racing organizations. Like I always say, "To many hands in the stew, and the stew starts to taste like hand."

Thanks for sharing your pictures Dr.

Dale Quarterley and his GPz1100 based Superbike have been the class of the field in this years CSRA season. Quarterley is a seasoned pro, and knows his way around a race track. His lap times are very consistent lap after lap!!! Its also real hard to rattle someone like Quarerley with all of his years of racing two and four wheelers.

The GPz1100 based Superbike he rides is almost bulletproof, and makes some huge horsepower. Quarterley did most of the work on building this bike, and the preparation of it. Don't know if he did the motor in house or not. Either way, it does make some very serious horsepower!!!

Nice to be along for the ride

You've got me interested in seeing the show at Road America next year. God willing, and the creek don't rise, I will ride my '81 GPz1100 there, as a show of support! Living in Minneapolis, it should be a decent ride there and back.

Don't know if the CSRA will be racing on the Road America Moto America weekend next year. They might be, but I don't know if they are for sure!!!

I have been to most of the race tracks in the U.S. and Road America is the BEST BY FAR!!!!! Plus the track food is damn right great. Its better than some restaurants I have eaten in. The new viewing areas that they have put in in the last few years at Road America give you access around the whole track now. Bring your walking shoes, or rent a golf cart because its a four mile track you can now completely walk around it now. Turn 5, and the high speed run into Canada Corner are two of my favorites to view from.

This gives you an idea what that track looks like from a vintage Superbike.





I got my best finishes while I was racing on this track over the years. I always loved racing there. It was a FAST track, and you knew you were going fast as you went around it. I liked the track a lot more before they put that sissy chicane in before The Kink. Wished I got to race on it after they removed the Mitchell bridge. I never got used to aiming at a bridge abutment before I made the turn in under that bridge!!!!

Thanks for sharing those videos. I was leaning in the corners with you. What speed do you get to at RA? What did your bike look like?

Funny, but most of the racers in the Vintage Superbike Classes are no spring chickens, and they don't race like their age either.

Don't really know for sure what my top speed was at Road America. I could top out 5th on the front straight, and pretty close to redline going down the Moraine Sweep into Turn 5. The funnest part of that track is running full throttle from The Kink down through the gentle bends of the Kettle Bottoms into the braking area for Canada Corner!!!! The Kink was one of those corners if you did it right, you could feel your balls pull up into your gut!!! Its one corner you knew if you missed it, that old green guardrail with the one row of hay bales in front of it was going to hurt!!!! My Superbike by a Cook County Sheriff's radar gun ran 154MPH topped out in 5th.

I ran both of my Superbikes there, the one I built, and the fancy S1 I bought at Road America.. Plus I also ran a "stock" Kz750E in a couple of 6 hour endurance races there back around '81 or '82. 2.26's and 2.29's were the lap times I ran on my Superbike. The S1 was like 4 seconds a lap slower because it wobbled pretty bad around the Carousel!!!
