    ZTA's The Kid's 1st amateur weekend report

    saturday practice:
    ran a personal best 1:23.8

    LWSB: 3rd in the holeshot, 1st place by lap 4 and held 1st until turn 12 on the last lap when an expert slowpoke got in my way and got passed on the inside of 12, ended up finished 2nd.
    ran a personal best of a 1:21.7

    Sunday practice:
    ran a 1:23.5 in the first session and a 1:22.6 in the second

    LWSS: 1st in the hole shot, and never looked back, got myself a big lead too,
    ran consistent low 1:22'3

    LWGP:
    2nd in the holeshot and tried to keep up with sweeney on his rs250 for a while until the red flag came out of the 3rd lap, the restart I was second into turn one again and i was trying to show sweeney a wheel coming up the hill when the back swung out and threw me for a nasty highside coming up the hill.. it hurt quite bad.. the bike kinda flipped on top of my and dragged me with it for a while.. bike is alright i need a fairing, fairing stay, rearsets, throttle and clip ons
    I ran a 1:21.2 so im still happy

    nice! and congrats on the bump. if you can get good starts as an AM, even if you don't have the fastest lap times there is always a good chance of wood (at least thats my experience). well done

    Yeah Erik, Chris was telling me about your get-off.

    Dude, next time just let the bike go and save yourself instead! You don't need to be underneath it because you want to save on parts replacement.



    I'm really glad you're okay, all things considered.

    Excellent performance regardless!!

    What's up Kid? Respect on your attitude and taking it for what it is, racing. Glad you're OK and it's nothing some money and new parts can't fix. Look forward to seeing you "next weekend". Also huge congrats on the personal best's, you shaves a couple seconds of one personal best in the next personal best in one sitting... no small feat at your level.
