Not much good at this and will keep it short..
I race Ex LW GP on Saturday. LW50,LW Superbike on Sunday
Bike is a 2004 Ducati 1100cc DS SS
Rider is 61 with 25 years of racing experience. Late bloomer I guess?
Its been a pretty good year so far.. Bike runs awesome and is Fast making up for the rider that's ok to good.. but getting better..
My starts suck (and that's being nice) nothing I have tried has worked Front row to the end of the train every time.... It has been fun racing and passing people every race although they might disagree!
That being said my finishes have been better then I excepted. and I have learned how to ride this bike at NHMS pretty quickly. Best time so far is a 118.7 personal best on a LW bike(or what qualifies under CCS rules)
Currently sit fourth in two of the championships and fifth in another There a few fast guys behind me with three weekends to go so I need to pick up my game. If I could pick up a consistent second or so I might have a chance and combined with better starts I might hold on to me currant positions but with three to go? We will see and Racing is still my thing!
FYI I am Still Learning! Soft tires work better in the heat then hard! Why this has been a secret on my part is a mystery.
But I have now found the truth and will pay the tire gods for the correct rubber!
Tires got greasy after four laps This passed weekend and had to change my riding mid race.. popped a 19.2 but after tires went off low 20s is all I could comfortably do!
My garage is such a great place to hang and race out of, everyone who is in there is cool and good racers to boot plus there helpful and friendly, makes my weekends flow smoothly and without a lot of drama!!!!
So far its been great year and looking forward to the next three rounds.
If there is a start guru out there how wants to expound his or her wisdom I am open to listening.
Good luck to everyone.
