Expert racing is easy! The checks just come rolling in! How come everyone doesn't do it?

It's just Onlyfan, and I thought you were it?:love_heart:

Bubbles got a 1/2 and got to hold her first expert racing oversized Happy Gilmore check ever! And so did I! #powercouple, haha.

Big grids, lots of tight racing, and I don't mind 'losing' to a Graves Racing 400RR and a Legit MotoAmerica team on my stock Ninja. I enter the SuperBike race to just get more laps in, but to go around some very fast bikes and then podium in that race was a real treat:eagerness:
 
Correct Aaron. And the lovely Michelle Cline got blown out of her $85K annual teachers' salary and life totally destroyed. As it should be.

Well, if she was dumb enough to advertise this on her car while working as a teacher, she's practically begging to get caught. Right or wrong, the court of public opinion is going to have their day.

And all the while, my alcoholic ex girlfriend continues to teach Kindergarten for a city school district, while the school district KNOWS she has an alcohol problem, and has even done some work to cover it up. So, where to draw the line on this?

I'm not surprised some women do take advantage of Only fans/Fansly to make money on the side (or their career). I'm just surprised how many do.
 
ROUND 2!!!! (and the final championship points round for 2023, long story).

I could never have expected the way this weekend went.

Thats Hail!!

It rained overnight, but dry in the morning meant all the rubber on the track got washed away and it was going to be slick:upset: More grumbles of rain in the forecast had CRA scrambling to shorten the schedule as much as possible.

We raced the first race Bubbles got ANOTHER 1st place in the Ladies LW race! Man, it was nose to tail battle swapping the first 3 positions many times, well done!

Keep bringing them checks home baby!
 
CRA did a great job of smashing as many races as they could into one day and expected to not be able to race at all on Sunday so we sent it HARD, both dropping lap times and getting personal bests race after race! I got to reach a goal of beating our pit-mate and friend on his heavily modified R/7 with my stock Ninja 400. THATS satisfying:applause:

I race against the bigger bikes (Aprilia 660's and R/7's) in the over 40 race, and boy oh boy it was a fight! We all swapped for the lead several times. I finally got passed by the eventual leader with 1 lap to go and got power passed 10 feet before the LINE by my buddy on his R/7. Oh well 3rd will do, I'm still happy to place:)

Bubbles races the same race (but against the same bikes as hers) and dominated for a 1st place WIN! This girl is on fire!

Last race they could fit in on Saturday was the 400 Superbike race (modified 400's) and I always enter that one too. I guess I like to be David against Goliath? The #1 and #2 in that race are lapping at times that are literally impossible to do on my bike, so I'm ok with getting a 3rd;)

The first race on Sunday was the 400 Supersport where we all are on stock 400's and its a mad house. SO much fun battling rider vs. rider. I expected to do well and had a solid 2nd place all locked up... until I got absolutely punted into the mud.

By Bubbles.

I was able to save it and keep it upright, found the track again and went after the pack. Cold, clean track, and mud on my tires. I'm not getting any smarter.
I managed to catch the tail of the lead pack and nosed in front of one of our favorite and fastest competitors right at the line (that already had a 2nd in the Ladies race), but then touched the rev limiter and watched her swing by my front tire barely in time, just before the line:apathy:

Bubbles got that 2nd place trophy, but I'm going to steal it from her when she's not looking, lol. We race super close together and very similarly so it was bound to happen sooner or later, I'm glad she did it to me first. Because now, it's ON.

We had a discussion about 100% aggression vs. aggression with timing, and sure it was a little quiet on the ride home... but I love this girl and am just so dang proud of her.

I can't wait for the Championship dinner this year. We race everything we can and place pretty well, we wrapped up several 2023 trophies even with the races so full of small bikes and big talent. I swear 400's are the new 600's and I love it!

For 2023 season in 400GT (the long races stock and modified 400's) I got a 2nd and Bubbles is 3rd! Expert 400 Supersport (stock 400's) I got 1st and Bubbles got 2nd, In 400 Superbike (modified 400's) I got 2nd and Bubbles got 3rd (absolutely blowing my mind that happened), I got 2nd in F40LW (Over 40, bigger bikes), Bubbles managed a 3rd in Ladies (she raced against bigger bikes 2023, now that they have a class for smaller bikes the same as ours, she's dominating with 2024 with her 2 1st places).

Now, where are those sponsors? Race gas and slick tires ain't cheap:angel:

Just blows my mind we are this big a threat in the paddock on stock Ninja 400's against much more capable bikes. We are whipping the CRAP out of these little bikes and I might have some plans for later this year that are closer to this forums namesake (hint, hint).
 
Dearest Bubbles,

I hope this missive finds you in good tidings, I write to both express my deepest congratulations and to offer a modest bit of advice I hope you'll find agreeable to your palette:

If he got back on track you didn't punt hard enough to finish the job.
 
I'm forwarding that to her right now:loyal: LOL, thats pretty funny.

I'm also Lead Engineer for Team Backmarker Racing, so she better start checking her own bolts:anonymous:
 
Thanks guys! I'll be tripping over Legos in the carpet for a MONTH. Getting the background stuff right was the hardest, and there were definitely a few late night beers involved:very_drunk:
