FIRST PERSON/OPINION:

Via e-mail:

I am proud to announce that through the help of  (an announcement on) Roadracingworld.com I have been offered a bike to compete in this year’s Daytona 200.

Vinnie at PRO-Line Race Preparation from Orlando, Florida called me after reading my request and offered his Yamaha R6. In addition to PRO-Line this year’s effort will be supported by my longtime and faithful sponsors.

I would also like to make a special mention of David Yesman of Vermont for his contribution.

I would like to thank everyone who made offers, the outflow of support was stunning, I am honored that so many fans cared enough to offer their support and equipment. In addition to the 200, Brian Shaw (my nephew) and I will attempt to win the team challenge for the second time. I will also be teaching at the Team Hammer School on Thursday. I welcome every one to my garage and say hello. See Ya at Daytona.
