A great turnout at the second Bike race in Hang Dong. Some fun action in the "grocery getter" classes and watching the Thais pitch their spindly 125cc mopeds and Yamaha Mio's around the track was a good. The top gents really get on it. Watching the chassis flex and squirm coming out of the last turn was great stuff.
You gotta admire 'em for the run-off is minimal and its concrete buildings 6 inches off the racing line coming onto the front straight.
The supermotard was great watching an XR600 battle it out with a faster KLX110. Complete with the XR being pushed wide off the track, coming back on, then a wild, out of control, late braking move up the inside of the KLX led to the KLX going down and a small highside for the XR. The crowd loved it.
I motored along Soi 9 to meet up with the gents for the GP action after but could not locate the bar. In the parking lot just up from the Powehouse Gym they had an auto Gymkana(sp?) going with all the lads and their cars tearing it up around the parking lot. A sad replacement for Schuey and the boys, but as pops said "beggars can't be choosy".
