After a two month hiatus, I came back.
Tossed rains on for the first time ever. Two laps of practice in the dry on them to make sure I know what they kinda felt like.
Lightweight sportsman:
Only one other EX in there and he's quick in the rain. Held him off for two or three laps, then let him by. Stuck behind a motard. I kept passing him on the gas, he kept fighting me on the brakes. He came around me in turn 11 through the puddle and lost the front. Yay! Not last place!
6th out of 7, still was fun in the rain. 1:41 in the wet.
Prod Twins:
More EX's this time. Dollah was running Pilot Powers, came in after the first lap. I got the holeshot (easily I might add) and Brendan went by in Turn 3. Held off Sean for a few laps but started getting tired. He went by and I cruised to an easy 3rd place. Dropped two seconds in the rain to 1:37, but the 3 year old used rains I was using didn't seem to hold in the exit of a corner.
No complaints!
Had fun, racing in the rain is a good time.
Need to replace front brake pads (started metal on metal from a bent caliper bracket since last year), get a decent rear shock and fix my forks. For some reason, one is longer than the other when I take the axle out. I'm sure that makes it handle funny. A little bird flew away with one of my knee pucks so I'll need a new one of those two.
Bike still runs like a top, going on year 3 with the same engine. Has plenty of pull (for an EX).
Looking to be in the garages next year. TJ was kind enough to take a few of us in for the weekend and I don't think I could go back.
Thanks to KB and Jay for putting up with me being in their RV for the weekend.
