Well, I'm still waiting for confirmation, but it appears to have been a "no attrition" race from the start of the race.

1 - Brammo
2 - VTECH
3 - Protomoto

All Zeros came after that, but I am not sure of the order.

Edit: Apparently, Brammofan beat me to the punch.

The more, the merrier. Nice that Czysz dropping out have Virginia tech a podium. Also, cool for Ely Schless.

Congratulations to the Brammo/Iconn team. It could have been a fun race with MotoCzysz, but let's hope everybody will be able to race next time.

I also loved seeing the VTECH team on the podium.

Now, I really need to pay them a visit..., maybe borrow the bike for a day or two...

MotoCzysz was 2s faster in qualifying. Would have been a close race if they had been able to race.

VT team had a transponder dropout for one lap, they also completed 8 laps for 2nd place.

I was at the race today. All bikes finished entered finished. Brammo lapped the Zero's twice over 10 laps. There were four Zeros having a pretty good race. The remaining bikes were spread out. According to the announcer, MotoCzysz didn't get their bike back from IOM until late Friday. Unfortunately the bike is shipped in pieces, so they spent a late night on Friday putting it back together. The bike was set up for IOM, which requires a higher battery capacity with a lower discharge rate than what's required Portland. I heard from someone else that they had some battery issue testing on Saturday.

Note, you can check out www.omrra.com to see lap times from previous races to compare with. I think the fastest SV650 times are around 1:16.

Unfortunately my current cheap camera doesn't work well for moving motorcycles. I do have some pit shots that I might post later when I get to me home computer.

Congrats Brammo... I wish I could have been there to watch because the live feed was not so great. Would be epic to make at least one race this season... here's looking forward to the Empulse shipping next week... and to more Brammo victories! Woot!

It was so-so. The weather here was supposed to be on and off rain all weekend. I think that kept a lot of people away, and probably some ICE racers too. It turns out the weather today wasn't bad. The races (ICE included) didn't have much competition. The TTXGP races were just merged into the club races which happen once a month or two. I live about 30 miles away, so it wasn't a big deal to stop by.

I'm thinking of making the trek down to Laguna Seca this year. The Empulse R will be down there according to one of the Brammo folks I talked to.

That would be great...I'm gonna be at SECA and would love to meet some BrammoForum members. Rooms might be hard to find...I wanted to camp, but SECA buys out all the camping and nothing was left but overflow...did get a room in Salinas, and much cheaper than Monterey. Heck, I would sleep at the track if they let me

.

EmpulseBuyer, are you coming to SECA?

Any body else?

I will be the old guy grinning a lot as I've never been to a motorcycle race before....

EmpulseRider · « **Reply #26 on:** June 24, 2012, 09:17:11 PM »

I will do my best to make it out there... but I will make Miller Motorsport Park event FOR SURE if I cant make Laguna Seca this year.

Gavin · « **Reply #27 on:** June 24, 2012, 09:24:41 PM »

If you can, that would be sweet...we will have to wear Team Brammoevangelista shirts

I usually stay in San Jose and ride in. Works well for motorcycles, not so much for cars. Once I went with a rental car. The first 60 miles took an hour, and the last 4 miles took another hour. I did find that taking a GPS was handy finding my white rental after the race

Is that LFP's death bike? : )
