I felt pretty good going into the weekend for my fourth round after missing round 1. It was going to be my first round as an amateur for I was a bit nervous about the faster pace. Bike felt perfect, so I loaded up the trailer and got there early Friday morning for practice.
Practice went well, track temps were pretty hot and the bike felt planted at almost all times. I learned a ton on Friday as it was my first practice being able to get a tow and check some lines in the new class. I was feeling pretty confident going into the weekend.

Race 5 - HW Supersport: First race was pretty late in the day as there was a ton of red flags in the morning and after this race the thunderstorms started. I was gridded last and got a terrible start, I passed one or two going through turn 1 and slowly started working my way through the field and started feeling more confident. The race was called early because of a red flag and was extra short because the races were condensed.
Race 11 - AM MW Grand Prix : Nothing too exciting in this one, but I did manage a munch better start and got into a rhythm by the end of the race. I logged a couple clean laps and ended the race content with my pace.

After Saturday I was feeling good after running in the new class, I was really anxious to race on Sunday morning. Threw on a new rear for the day and was ready to go. After riding morning practice I knew this day was going to be painful with how hot it was already at 9AM
Race 2 - HW Superbike: Gridded in the back again since I don't have any points, once again got a terrible launch (really have to work on that) but managed to pass a handful of people through 1, 1A, 2. Had a couple good fights with people through the race and I can completely say that I had more fun in this race than any other. Don't really remember any specifics about the race but was back and forth with #323 a few times and started to close on the last lap but I couldn't get him by the line.
New PB 1:20.224
Race 6 - Unlimited Supersport: Don't remember anything about this race except for the fact that I was extremely tired, think the heat was getting to me and I blew a handful of corners throughout the race. I feel like I was making mental errors throughout the race and almost had to take the nascar oval twice in the race.
Overall it was a great weekend and I'm really happy with how the bike is running. Big thank you to everyone this weekend and people who stopped by the garage. Hope everyone heals up quick in center 8 and makes it back for the next round!
