Racers can be squids too...

Look at this f*ckin moron. Cory Call. AMA speedway rider and AFM road racer. Guy is on a track day and pulling this sh!t. My friend was at this day and said he was just being a total idiot out there and freaking the hell out of the less experienced riders. I guess he is friends with the track day promoter so he can do what he wants? Dumb.

In case you are wondering, this is Thunderhill raceway, reverse direction.

Looks like maybe he should be motocrossing instead of roadracing. Nice airtime!

Just so no one goes to beat up Ed Milhausen. He is using his AMA number, not his AFM number.

No BRAIN he wads it 3 times in 1.5 laps! That will not win races, keep the rider healthy enough to compete, nor keep the team budget in $$$. All that mentality will do is make highlights of crashes and get people hurt (or worse) I would hope 2 crashes would earn you a Black Flag at most races

His pic is hilarious.

Peter Gibbons: What would you do if you had a million dollars?
Lawrence: I'll tell you what I'd do, man, two chicks at the same time, man.
Peter Gibbons: That's it? If you had a million dollars, you'd do two chicks at the same time?
Lawrence: Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I had a million dollars I could hook that up, cause chicks dig a dude with money.

Re: Racers can be squids too...

I was at that track day and Cory did nothing to endanger anyone let alone less experienced riders.....

Shrub..whats your deal...are you upset because he has more talent and MORE CONTROL ON ONE WHEEL than you will ever have on two.

Cory is one of the best riders in California...and you call him a squid...I call him gifted

As for your kicking ass comment...you would be wise to shut the **** up...the man would not only kick your ass on the track but kick your ass in person and probably steal your woman at the same time.

This man has never caused any incident at any trackday or any race as far back as I can recall....I have been tuning for different racers for the past 18 years with the AFM...the biggest thing about Cory is the kick ass show he can put on.

As for the part where he gets air...well in Reverse direction at THill...all you need is balls and you could do it to.....give it time...maybe you will grow some and be able to do it as well.

Re: Racers can be squids too...

Bottom line, he shouldn't be doing that stuff on a track day with inexperienced riders. Whether you think he endangered them or not, if it freaked them out, then he did damage.

Re: Racers can be squids too...

Doesn't look like he had anyone any where near him when he was "playing". If people were "freaked out" by someone else doing wheelies with no one around on the track then maybe they need to reconsider whether they should be riding or not. Nice pics.

Re: Racers can be squids too...

OK ConqSoft......So ridding in the "A" Group and doing a few wheelies in said group is NOT freaking anyone out. The People riding in this group are predominetaly Fast AFM guys or Mid pack AMA guys (very experienced not Inexperienced)....these people who are more experienced than others Do Not get Freaked out because someone pulls a wheelie. I could see some of the guys in "C" group watching and trying to emulate him and then getting freaked out when they realize....Whoa....I can't do that. He simply does not do these things in the B or C groups. Now IF these pictures were taken while he was in the B or C group I could see your statement being correct about him endangering people or Freaking them out.

Getsome....your comment is Right On....Cory doesn't do anything next to someone where it might cause a problem let alone freak them out. Hell take a look at the pictures for the proof of that.

I'm kinda in the middle here. If they let him do all that stuff at the track day, so then, good for him. Nice pictures indeed. One thing though I think is funny as hell is this

You are sure right about one thing norcal, if my "woman" wants to leave with that guy Attachment 13697 so be it...... I just can't compete...

And what's up with putting in your Racing Achievements that you felt 3 times in 1.5 laps. That for me as nothing to do with not having fears, it's more like not having skills, witch I'm sure he does, but if I was looking to sponsor a guy, he would not be the one just for that.

Re: Racers can be squids too...

You obviously have never been to the track when Cory is there.....He is easy to spot..the one with all the women around him...

At the AMA National at Sears Point he lent 2 other riders some of his excess Umbrella Girls for shade on the grid.

PS that photo was taken 7 years ago...lets see your Mullet from 7 years ago....

Ever race speedway...you may very well fall 3 times your first race too....at least he kept getting up and finished the race eh....Would you have??

Do you have wood for Cory or what...? I'm sure Cory is a cool guy, but sounds like you "like" him a little too much.

According to people who were there, they said he was in the C group some, freaking riders out.

Ok, second and last post in this. I don't give a about is "ladies skills" as far as I'm concerned he could be and it would not change a thing, why would you brought that up???? :give****:

Never had a mullet and never will.

Never race at speedway, don't intend too, cause I know I don't have the skills for it and not shy at all to admit. So you are right, I don't think I would have finish...... again, what's your point??? Read my first post again.... Never said the ladies man had no skills.......

Anyway it was nice chatting with you, I'll just keep an eye on my woman if I ever make it down to California....
