I found the funk!!!
Back into the low twenties. Finally got my speed back on Sunday.
The Classic this year started late. We did not arrive until Friday evening. Boo.
One race on Saturday. The LWGP with its large grid...
The day started rough. I headed down hot pit for first practice and the bike quit at the end of pit road. Hmmm. Restart. Quit at T2. Restart. Quite at T3. Restart quite in garage area... Push back to garage... WTF.
With the help of Tony and Sheppo I dig in looking for a reason for the FI flasing on my dash....
Nothing obvious to me. All connections are good.
The bike refires and seems to run ok. I do some laps in the infield and all is good.. I thought.. Practice two. I start the bike and put my helmet on only to turn around to find the bike off again. WTF.
I am at a loss. I head out to find someone that knows Gen2 SVs. I find Scotty Mullin in his shiny green cast. He is the nicest guy and hops on his Golf Cart and comes right over to help. He is smart enough to know it is probably the Tip over sensor and knows what one looks like... Lol.
In about one minute he finds it and shows me that it is off it's mount. Put it back and the bike is happy. Scotty saves the day.. I can't thank him enough..
LWGP was a good time. I started 4A.. Boo. I like the outside better... I run this race and have a race long slug fest with a few other riders. It was great to have some real close racing. I finished 13 of 26.. It was a great time. Still not happy about running 1:23s but I had a blast racing with BJ and others.
Sunday. Practice went OK. Practice one was a nice warm up. Practice two was not pleasant. I saw a wreck that was not pleasant... I pulled in after 2 laps.
LWSS. Again I have a race long battle back and forth with a bunch of other mid pack dudes and smile all the way to the garage.. That was fun. I forget the particulars other than following Kurtz to the finish line... P10. Best lap a 1:22.5
Old Guys on Small Bikes.. I spent a good chunk of the race battling with some other old guy on a Monster. That was a great time. I love close races. I even more loved that I spent most of the race in the 1:20 range. With my best 1:20.4 Just .7 off my PB..
I am thrilled with the great racing and good times. The fact that I got my funk back is even better. I spent two days at TTD after the race and I think I found the secret to getting back into the 19s or better.
Thanks so much to my awesome family. Without Wendy and Emma I would not be racing.
I need to thank Woodcraft and MTAG Pirelli for the great support!!!
See you dudes and dudetts in July.
