Miller Speed Way Super Bikes

On Sunday we went to the super bike races down at Miller Speed Way. I have one word for you... AWESOME!!! This is easily my new favorite sport. The Speed Way was is really cool, we were on the east side of the track by "The Club House", it's the fourth to last turn on the track. You could walk from our grandstands down into the venues, over to the south grandstands by "Tooele's Corner". Man there were a million people there. I bet it was even more packed over in the grandstands at the Start/Finish Line. It was good to go with Jared and Wendy too. They've been to a few of the races in the past and filled us in on things. Jared knew all about the racers, which is to be expected from him. ;) The first race was an 1100cc class won by a Texan Ben Speis, he was awesome. Had a four second lead in the first couple laps. There two wrecks in the sixth lap, one was serious enough the race was red flagged. After about fifteen minutes the bikes were brought back out and the race was back on. I guess I already gave away the ending of that one!

The second race was a 600cc class. Again it was a tight race. I don't remember the racers names of this one but the whole time the race was dominated by four guys. Everyone thought that the guy leading the whole time was going to win. On the last lap, the guy in second went on the inside at The Club House, they bumped and he pulled out first. It was almost sad during the cool down lap. The guy that you thought was going to win was beating himself up pretty bad all the way around the track.


The third and final race was another 1100cc class, man those things are fast! I just can't say enough how awesome these races were to go to. Well Ben Speis won the last race too, this one was closer though. He seemed to have the lead through the whole race, but when the time came down to it. He only one by about 1.32 seconds. Will we go again you might ask? I say were there like flies on poop every year! The only thing that is upsetting is that this was the only US race in the series this year! Oh well we've told everyone we know, we're all going back next year!!
