Wait, you have no idea? But you spoke so authoritative. Did you just say "
I ride with guys on Deals Gap who have personally spanked this guy in AMA events, and he is a GP rider.. Someone needs to stop the insanity."
So you ride with these guys but now you don't know who they are? Not much credibility in your statements then, eh?
Well lets see, either you're real guilible and naive to listen to people you "ride with" telling tall stories, or you were just talking out of your ..., neither of which are good my friend. Lets see if your authroitative claim holds any water, shall we?
Going back the last three years Pietri raced at Road Atlanta would be 07-09. In 07, he entered into SBK but had a DNS. Maybe that's what they were talking about when they said they "spanked" him, right. I guess in their book they also "spanked" Roger Lee, because he also had a DNS. In 08 he suffered a a couple of mechanicals, but so did Neil Hodgson WSBK champ, so maybe your mystery rider buddies "spanked" a world champ too, eh? What about 09, his race one result was was 15th, not great, but not bad. If you look at the list of guys who beat him, maybe there is one or two guys you wouldn't recognize if they had their helmets on, I'm assuming since you follow the sport, everybody else you would know. Except, none of those guys are "WERA guys from Georgia", so...that pretty much eliminates everybody you supposedly rode with.
So since we don't have too many races results to go by, how about qualifying as a measure of who "spanked" Pietri. Well, as you can see, again, you would probably recognize everybody in the group that out qualified him, since most all of them have been AMA regulars, none "WERA guys from Georgia". So the only guys who beat him are AMA regulars with decent budgets. Btw, don't look at the speed trap times, Pietri was always significantly down on power.

As to that "pig Aprillia". Well, I remember you were one of the most vocal and outspoken critics of middle weight 600s having to compete with 1000cc+ liter bikes. I remember you even boycotted, like you've now threatened to leave GP (excpet be an avid watcher on TV). Some boycott. So that pig 1000cc, like all the crap you talked about the 1125R Buell, was now a pig? Wasn't the Buell a pig too? Would you like to begin rewriting history too? Just as reference, check out 09 qual times between Chaz and Pietri, and hell, check out 07 Scassa compared to Pietri (who ran with Chaz in WSS).

Two on both counts your credibility suffered a bit.
So you rode with guys who "spanked" Pietri, but you don't know who they were, oh but wait, they were WERA guys, who don't appear in the time sheets ahead of Pietri. And you boycotted 1000s running with 600s, specifically the 1125 Buell, but the Aprillia 1000 was a "pig".
Would you like to proceed or concede?
