Found the schedule: http://www.ccsracing.us/schedules/2008/ ... HEDULE.pdf

Based on the earlier posts. Looks like Nate will be racing all day long (8 races). The heavier ones seems to be concentrated in the afternoon. I hope other folks can confirm this info.

It didn’t take that long as Estok holeshot the field and lead from lap one to lap three where Nate Kern pushed his way passed to the lead. For the next several laps, Buell riders Dan Bilansky, Bryan Bemisderfer and Dave Estok took turns pushing the leading BMW but Kern was able to hang onto the point past the white flag. As Bilansky and Kern exited the final turn towards the flag, Kern tried a multiple weaving maneuver but carried it too far and he was judged to have blocked Bilansky. Kern’s penalty moved him from first to third behind Bilansky and Estok and one position ahead of point leader Walt Sipp. http://www.ccsracing.us/

yeah - this was a CROCK!!! Even the guy he beat said that what Nate did was NOT illegal - if the guys that he beat don't see anything wrong - I don't see how others do!!!

B. Any rider, who appears to be deliberately blocking another
motorcycle attempting to pass, including weaving, will be penalized
or disqualified. This is a judgment call by the Referee and is not
protestable.

I was watching from the scoring tower above the start/finish line, and I can see why the Referee imposed the penalty. Too bad, because Nate could probably have held the lead to the finish line, although it would have been tight.

I don't know the rules but Nate beat the 2 Buells to the end. Perhaps Buell riders don't get paid if they don't win. Was there any mention on this thread of the alleged messing around with his bikes overnight?

I watched from the tower and the way Nate can out corner the other riders was exciting and graceful. Fine form and function. Even if other riders take lead, a couple of laps later Nate was leading again. Great ridership and ABS! He has a real fan base in the DC area.

I would have to agree with you on this John. Nate has all the skill and the bike to do the job, I think he may have been a little concerned that he may not win without his "weaving" manuevers.
Personally...I think he would have taken them anyway, but my ars wasn't on the bike either... :)
