Whoooo, we just returned from Twist and Gone 2010 and it was a blast. Just a nutshell on the weekend and a couple of pictures:
Also a quick shout out to Jeremy Hall of Envriomoto for creating this event and seeing it through to completion. It was very well done and we hope to be a part of any future events.
Alright. Bottom line is that we placed second in our class (100cc 4T open). Great right? Well… There were only two bikes in our class so, not so great I guess, but there are some bright points in there.
First off, our rider Kate had the fastest RT of the day, with a .027 and also had no red lights so it looks like we made the right choice about who to have ride the scooter.
Unfortunately we couldn’t get the NOS dialed in time to make the race so we had to run without, and our little scoot had a stalling issue so that didn’t help us either, but we learned a whole bunch about what we need to do to be more competitive for future events. We also think that we may have a couple more entrants the next time we go scooter racing, and in some different classes, so it should end up being a great time.
Overall I’d have to label the Twist and Gone a success, and we are looking forward to Twist and Gone 2011 and any other scooter racing events that we can take part in.
Also this marks the beginning of the Partsforscooters.com Racing operation.
Next we made a short detour on the way home to US129 on the NC / TN border. More commonly known as Deal’s Gap, or The Tail of The Dragon and it may be the most incredible stretch of paved road ever. Featuring 318 curves over 11 miles, Deal’s Gap is a playground for just about any Scooter or Motorcycle enthusiast and well worth the trip should you be in the area. For more information on the Gap, visit www.tailofthedragon.com and for pictures and video hit up www.killboy.com. You will not be disappointed.
Take a look at some of our pictures and let us know what you think.
