And I thought last weekend sucked……
Cliff notes: didn’t get any practice in Saturday, crashed 3 out of 4 races. All happened when I was in top 3 position. Positive is i hit 16's
Race# 6. Had pole position. Grab a decent start. Out brake the 2 guys in front of me and grab first coming out of turn one. Lead all the way thru we I come down into nine full tilt, hit the transition the front kinda bounces on me and washs out. My bike and I go flying into the air barriers (thank god for those things). Takes me and 2 cornerworkers what seemed like eternity to fish my bike out of the barriers. Crash obviously my own stupidity. Going quick on brand new tires with no practice.
Dash for Cash: Grid on the first row. Get a good start not the best but decent enough. Go into one about 5th running pretty good in the mix with the front runners. I battle with #930 Juan for most of the race. We go back and forth for awhile. I get by finally and end up getting up to second. By then TiM #644 has checked out. I hit the apex of three and out of the corner of my eye I see a bike coming straight at me. Then it happens…lap 8/9 I get t-boned in 3. I am between and expert and the bike that hit me. I land hard in 3. I was the only guy to go down out of the debacle. I was so f*ing pissed. I was having the best race I have had as an AM and this happens. After the race rider responsible came by and apologized for it and gave me his side of the story. He has a good rep so I wont name him. One time thing no big deal. On a positive I put down two 1:16's laps in a row. So that I my "career" best.
Sunday:
Race# 4 Another good start. Running with the front guys. Running 3rd behind #930 juan again. When he lowsides it in 1 on the second lap. Move into the 2nd slot and keep a decent pace. Coming out of 12 I look back and see I have a decent margin so I don’t have to push, appearantly when I looked back #220 josh must have been on the outside of me. Coming out of 2 he blows past me and I say to myself WTF???. He gains a gap on me pretty quickly so I try to get back in the zone and that quickly backfired. Going up the hill I give it to much gas and the rear comes around on me and I lucky lowside rather then get tossed. Unluckily a seam spilts on my leathers and I got some quality road rash on my right ass cheek.
Race#9 By now I just wanna finish a race. Good start I come out 3rd I think. Guy in front has a mechanically issue I move up a spot, I get passed so whatever I will take 3rd. I end up getting passed towards the end of the race and finish 4th. I was 3 seconds off my pace and basically was running practice times. Shitty weekend over.
