Check this out:
15. Aaron Gobert (Hon CBR600RR), Dunlop, DNF, retired

How does one retire and still get 15th? Should he not be behind Steve?

That's a bit odd. It says DNF. I'm guessing. "Did Not Finish?"
DNF is not ahead of anyone who finished even if they were lapped.

Good job everyone. Don't know about the rest of you, but i slept most of the day today. So fricken tired.

Thanks to the fans that stoped by to support

Thanks to the crew that showed up every day to make this happen

Thanks steve for rewarding our hard efforts by qualifying and finishing.

Thanks to my dad for giving up his traditional fishing weekend.

and well see you guys again next weekend for AFM  [moto]

Frances and I had an awesome time on Saturday!  As it was our first time at an AMA race, it will be one that we will remember for a long time to come!  Not to mention seeing Tigre prepping, in his zen mode, and then racing...and also seeing Team Tigre organizing, strategizing, working in tandem seamlessly - it was a formidable and impressive sight! 

Thanks to Dan and Mr. Lucero for hosting lunch and the great pit inclusive of seating during what was a scorching day. 

Merci mille fois a tous!!

Well, for those of you that still need your racing fix... There's more Tigre action at Infineon again this weekend with the AFM.

Actually, no.  If you DNF on the last lap (and you're on the lead lap) and someone else (in this case steve) doesn't even ever make that same lap, then you finish ahead.  Make sense?

ANyhow, back to the point.  Congrats Steve!  An awesome performance and something I'm sure you will never forget.

Did anyone send in a press release?

[desmoquattro]

must have been on the last lap. And he was on the lead lap so he would have been the last person on the lead lap.

I just realized that. Still...I think Tiggy should have been placed ahead of him

ok I think I got it:
Another team manger explained it to me today: When the 1st guy crosses the finish line, the clock stops, the race is over. So at that point he was still ahead of Tigre on his final lap. This was one lap ahead of Tigre when the winner crossed the finish line. Even though he did't finally crossed the finish line, he was at that point in 15th.

So I found this today, and just thought it was a fine quote to wrap up Team Tiger's efforts leading up to, and completing the AMA weekend.

"If you fell down yesterday, stand up today." -HG Wells

We fell down. We stood up. We came away stronger and better prepared to do it again.

Thanks again to everyone! You may have only sen a few of us working, but it was the efforts and support provided by all...from the parts suppliers that overnighted bits, the grease monkeys in the pits, the friends and families, and each and every one of the members here that made this all possible.

If you're in the neighborhood, come see Team Tigerbike in action again this weekend. AFM Round 3 at Infineon. [moto]

Anyone got the TV coverage available yet?  It should have aired already.  My tivo is recording it.

Just got info from Shelli at the D Store that they will be recording both the AMA Supersport and Formula Xtreme races off Speed Channel. Anyone can go into the store and request to see any race at any time! This includes all past AMA, World Superbike and Moto GP races.

[TCK!]

The guys in England got the Speed broadcast on Sunday, but my source only recorded the Superbike no Formula Extreme.

[BikerGoddess]

The AMA races will be available for viewing at the D Store as early as this afternoon. I'll be working there this Saturday and possibly Sunday, so stop on by! There's always complimentary espresso and soda (not combined of course) and you're in no way obligated to buy anything.

I watched it this afternoon - it was on very early (like midnight or 1 am) I think. Cool!  Congrats, Steve!  Wish I could have made it Sat instead of Sun 

That was a nice little headshake when the Kawi hit your right elbow there!

You've never had an espressoda? Paul Bassett used it as his signature drink when he won the 2004 world barista championship. A double shot poured over crushed ice and sparkling mineral water with sugar syrup to taste (when competing, infuse the sugar syrup with cinnamon and vanilla or other interesting spices).

I wouldn't drink them all the time, but they're _very_ nice on a hot summer day... A good alternative to milky iced coffee...
