Monster World Record

...so last week i went up to SLO to talk to local Authotities about the Event.

I spoke with Parks and Rec....THEY LOVE US!

It appears that the whole City of SLO is more than welcoming the idea of having the World Monster Record set in their nice and charming town.

Dr. Rushdi Cader, of the local DOC club, visited a few (actually a lot) of potential sites for the event to take place in.

After speaking with the SLO Parks and Rec. we have to now decide where to have it...

The date is September 26th or 27th 2009

CASEY STONER LEAVES HOSPITAL AFTER WRIST OPERATION.


Casey Stoner underwent successful surgery on his wrist on Thursday, at the Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria Policlinico in Modena. Antonio Landi, Specialist in Orthopaedic Surgery and Hand Surgery, was assisted by arthroscopic specialist Dr Luigi Pederzini and by Dr Norman Della Rosa.

Using arthroscopic surgery, two floating bodies were removed from the area of the styloid process of the ulna bone (lower arm).

Stoner was treated for pseudoarthrosis on his left scaphoid before the removal of a staple (which was inserted in Stonerâ€TMs scaphoid during an operation in 2003), and a bone graft using the Herbert Bone Screw System, which is designed to promote early active motion.

Stoner wanted to give his personal thanks to the medical team and also to Ducati Corseâ€TMs trusted consultant, Prof. Fabio Catani from the Rizzoli Hospital in Bologna, who has provided crucial advice and support over recent months, helping to set up the operation with the team led by Dr Antonio Landi.

The Australian was discharged this afternoon and will begin his rehabilitation over the next few days on his return home to Switzerland.

GP - Valencia

VALENCIA TO PASS THE MOTOGP TORCH FROM 2008 TO 2009


The city of Valencia plays host to the final Grand Prix of the 2008 MotoGP season this Sunday, with the World Championship 'podium' already decided. After seventeen rounds of eighteen around the globe, Valentino Rossi, Casey Stoner and Dani Pedrosa are already assured of the top three positions in this year's edition of motorcycle racing's elite series.

However, the visit to the Ricardo Tormo circuit promises the usual levels of excitement and intrigue, with one of the largest and most passionate race-day crowds roaring on their favourite riders from the grandstands that surround the entire circuit. Not only that, but the two days following the race have become a traditional first outing for the new team line-ups that will form the grid in the upcoming season.

The first target for the Ducati MotoGP Team, though, is preparing to defend second place in the constructors' championship, which they currently occupy but with only a single-point advantage over Honda.

Both Casey Stoner and Marco Melandri know what it is like to celebrate on top of the podium at Valencia, the Australian having clinched his first win there in the 125cc race in 2003 and the Italian claiming first place in the 250 race in 2002 and in MotoGP in 2005.

LIVIO SUPPO, MotoGP Project Director

"Hopefully we can finish the season at Valencia with a good result that allows us to hang on to second place in the Constructors' Championship. It's a big ask because Dani (Pedrosa) is very strong at this track and he arrives on the back of a very good race, whilst Nicky has always been fast at Valencia and the characteristics of the track should suit the satellite Hondas. We hope Casey's wrist problem isn't as prohibitive here so that he can have a good race for himself and for us! It will also be Marco's last race with us. It would be really nice to finish off a tough season on a high at a circuit where he has already won in MotoGP."
