Topeka Day 3 Race Results and Twitter Report

Some great racing went down today at Topeka, leaving an overall positive impression of the track. See what the [temporary] locals had to say:

@chazdavies 4th yesterday. Not exactly what I was looking for but we get another shot at it today. Looking forward to it!

@OnTheThrottleTV Well, after 2 mornings of global cooling we awaken to perfect temps and absolute cloudless skies over heartland park Topeka

@jp43 Alot of interest in STAR coming to Topeka on Aug 31-Sept 1. Great track for school. Who is coming? Got some real VIPs today for rides.

@OnTheThrottleTV Looks like Cardenas bike tried to eat a bird. Almost went right in the ram air duct from the looks of the remains

@OnTheThrottleTV Top 9 sportbikes all in the 1:39's this morning, Westby among them

@OnTheThrottleTV Top 12 bikes all within 1 second, gobert among them. Chaz third

@OnTheThrottleTV I'm told the Buell has more trick parts than an American superbike. Scuttle butt is the Airbox gives them the grunt down the straights

@23race Looking to be a great (hot) day here at Topeka. Both Aaron and Geoff want to get back out there and race.

@superbikeplanet We're not smart. But even we're not dumb enough to taunt Team Mladin.

@superbikeplanet Racer Shane Clark is back from his tour in Iraq and now working for American Suzuki. Yo!

@superbikeplanet Heartland Park crowd is back to Friday levels (low). "Wait until church lets out" is the most often heard reply.

@OnTheThrottleTV May had a mechanical and coasted his bike across a mile of parking lot back to hot pit. Bike still has gas tank up with wrenches flying

@OnTheThrottleTV 7 superbikes in the 1:36's this morning

@OnTheThrottleTV Pegram fastest in sectors 1 and 3, bboz in 2, and yates in 4

@CSpeedPhoto Standing along pit wall with Superbikes rocketing by at 160mph barely 6' away is a buzz

@Meligirl13 wasn't too stoked with yesterdays race but today should be better!

@23race Racing Experience 2-up rides currently ontrack at Topeka w/ the entire Kansas Natuonal Guard Leadership out for a ride with Jason Pridmore.

@OnTheThrottleTV Having lunch in the Yamaha hospitality tent!! Very big time for us to be in here with White and Shaheen, don'cha know

@OnTheThrottleTV One of Yamaha hospitatity Warmers is full of tofu and asparagus. Bboz is taking over

@MRRichter @ShawnHigbee no worries about bodywork. We'll get it tuned up for VIR Hopefully the Bethinator doesnt send you to the back of the grid again

@jp43 Great day @ Topeka today. more fans here today. just gave 8 rides to some very high up people in The National Guard, really cool.

@DamoCudlin Final day here in Topeka. Little more networkin to do today, then headin 'home' to California tomorrow. Great weather here, no Tornados.

@23race Kansas out in force today at the Tornado Nationals. Paddock is abuzz with how many folks milling around. Great weather and good racing.

@OnTheThrottleTV Sportbike intros are over. A fine young man has sung the national anthem. We'll be racing shortly

@OnTheThrottleTV Gobert found a second this morning. Herrin is tired of being a bride's maid. Fong and Fillmore want to bust out. Should be a great race

@OnTheThrottleTV Heartland Park Topeka is a great facility. Lots of good viewing spots where you can see lots of track action. Good facilities too.

@OnTheThrottleTV I could say lots about track safety, but I'm just a press puke.

@BenBostrom Spying on Dean Adams coffee ingredients from my room on the truck. The man likes his sugar. Sorry Deano;) http://yfrog.com/6wtpoj

@paradigmracing green flag!! Race 2 is underway...

@OnTheThrottleTV Red flag. Ricky Parker crashed.

@OnTheThrottleTV Running order: disalvo Herrin cardenas davies Eslick zemke Aquino fillmore

Daytona Sportbike restart@paradigmracing green flag! race 2 has been restarted

@OnTheThrottleTV Chaz davies into the pits with a mechanical

@MRRichter A four rider dice going on in sportbike. Im getting three texts per lap. On 7th tee box at the moment.

@paradigmracing Bobby finishes in 9th; Ty great finish in 18th!!

@OnTheThrottleTV Wow, that was a boring race... Not. Got to hand to DMG on that score, races are more better

@CSpeedPhoto Standing along pitwall. Redflag guy yells @ me to say I'm too far back. I look at him & literally take 1 step fwd, he nods in approval. Wtf?

@CSpeedPhoto I'm looking around, no physical markers of any sort. I'm just at some arbritrary point of the wall that suddenly becomes "ok".

@superbikeplanet Feeling of impending doom in the paddock is like a second layer of air. It's everywhere. Manus pulling? Rounds dropping?

@OnTheThrottleTV All you buellers quit wadding your panties. You're more defensive than DMG officials. read the rule book. I don't read bedtime stories now

@superbikeplanet Josh Day. Nice kid. Can't speak any Portuguese. Raced world championship. And now he's in Supersport?

@superbikeplanet Before race 1 yest a local asked Hodgson-do they make you wear the full leather suit or could you just wear jeans and a jacket? 100 ignored.

@OnTheThrottleTV I'm not a journalist!! This is not CBS news. Grab a humor suppository and apply repeatedly until happy!

@superbikeplanet Ben Bostrom has discovered emoticons. Which one described your moon yesterday after race one?

@OnTheThrottleTV SBK/Buell comparo was not mine, but a very funny hyperbole nonetheless. Now quit being a bunch of whiney wenches on pms

@chazdavies Goose egg in the points column today.. Electrical gremlin. Damn him! It's not for want of trying from all my team that's for sure. Thx guys!

@23race Race underway. Yates unfortunately down on lap 3. He's up an okay. May currently P7.

@MsXXFAST @ShawnHigbee already had 20 laps on those slicks at the start of SBK 2 race, How is he even keeping up?

@23race Tough day at Topeka. Geoff just went down while in P6. 'that's racing' as they say and you can bet they guys will be right back up at VIR.

@MsXXFAST Sweet. SBK 13th, passed Jones the last minute. Back to work...

@MsXXFAST Or not, Don't know what happened. he doesn't know either. he said he is too tired to remember lol, he has to get Mitsu to the airport now

@DamoCudlin Now at a hotel by Kansas International. Left a few irons in the fire, so now we've just got to wait n see what happens. Fingers crossed...

@BenBostrom Driving back to CO. Beautiful sunset. Yes, that's a moose on the dash. Bum day, ill motor, then broke;(. http://yfrog.com/15ogxvj

@michaellaverty Poor race today, 7th in the end,I have reasons it wasn't better but it just sounds like excuse's so lets just say I will do better next time

@BenBostrom Huge thanks to the Hales & Mechanix for the ride&the moose, who is adamant to take the graveyard shift, claiming he knows the way home. ...
