771 Racing - 2014 starts with a squish

[Kurlon]

No big drawn out sappy mechanical bromance novelization for this one. This year we started with all the bad weather we skipped out on in 2013.

By the numbers, not a good performance on my part. Three 5ths and a 4th, and lap times struggling to stay under 2 minutes in the GTL are nothing to write home about. Considering the circumstances though, and the fact that I put points on the board when many others decided to bail, it's good forward progress if I care about an AM class championship at all. Plus, the Butler BBQ makes everything better.

So, no mechanical issues, no crashes, trailer life rocks, look forward to partying in the sun next month with everyone!

Holy awesome! Surf over to http://www.nhms.com/events/lrrs/ and go to the results tab. Surf to a random race and click on a rider. You'll get pre-generated text ala:

Joshua Coombs today crossed the line fifth in the Amateur GTL race at NHMS, part of the April 26th round of LRRS's 2014 championship.

Coombs pushed his #771 Leatt Brace Yamaha FZR 400 RR SP, definitively crossing the line in fifth place, a position he held for the entire race. Holding fifth place from start to finish, Coombs powered through the finish line 59.704 seconds behind Harlan Hildebrand and a distant 32.795 seconds before Roland Arsenault.

Coombs ripped out a complete laptime of 1:58.764. His average laptime was 02:01.943, slower than his career average at NHMS of 01:31.402.

I didn't realize I was ripping 'em up with barely sub 2 minute lap times!

Oh, and Roland, that says you suck.

This new toy has much potential!

Thank you for the link Josh, I didn't know the great unwashed non-licensees could see the results! Is that copy written by algorithm or some poor long suffering intern?

[Kurlon]

If it's a long suffering intern, I'll buy them an extra ration of bread and water for the entertainment that find provided.

Thanks

As an added benefit, you can have dramatic results and drop mad amounts of time, without racing or even being at the track. Membership has it's benefits!
