Friday- 4/9:
Get up to the track pretty late. Rain stopped around 10 so we lucked out and missed it while unpacking and setting up the tent.
Saturday- 4/10:
Go to registration. Turns out we didn't pre-register early enough and had to pay the $70 for each race. Get back to the pits, tech, and start to gear up. End up getting to first practice late and getting flagged to turn around back into the pits. Go get out there early for second practice. Pit out, goose it to turn 3, take turn 3, red flag. Some one highsided at 4. Wait on pre-grid for them to clean up but the practice is cancelled. We get screwed over and no practice.
Race 9- LightWeight Sportman
Pretty uneventful as I don't remember much from it. Just remember getting more and more back into the rhythm of things after crashing.
Sunday- 4/11:
Practice goes well. Feeling more and more comfortable again. In second practice Alex takes off, I am having some serious touble keeping up with him, I have to really kick it up a notch. Alex lowsides in 3 and I almost run over his face. His is okay, no problems on the bike, and his gear really held up well. Really minior marks that would probably wash off. Went around and looked at a few key turns with Chris (StupidHawk) to watch the lines, which really helped.
Race 7- PTwin
Ryan let me use his warmers for about 15min before the race. Not sure if it did anything but it made me feel more comfortable. I was running at a pretty good pace and was getting my times back down to where they were before crashing. Diced it up with Alex for a bit but passed him coming out of 4 and flew into the bowl. Was able to stay infort of him til the finish line. I had a lota fun that race, everything felt good and went well. I got back to the pits to change out of my gear and went to look at the results. I GOT 3rd PLACE and Alex took 4th! I was shocked, I thought I did well but not that well; didn't expect to get WOOD! Schmidt brothers are going to be tag teaming Ptwins!
Packed up the bikes and waiting around to get my wood!
Big thanks to Geno, Chris, Scott, Ryan, Derek, Kurlon, Brian, eck-racing (for the crash pics) and anyone else I am forgetting. Thanks for the advice and showing us the ropes.
