    226 round 1 2012

    Mixed feelings...I'm way off my last years pace, but it was cold, I was rusty, and I was lacking confidence. The results aren't bad, but I felt a little off all weekend. That said, I had an absolute blast battling with the guys from RSP racing, especially #447 bill coolahan in LWGP. I also got to mix it up with #718 drew lawler, who came out of nowhere on his hawk.

    GTL- 5th
    LWGP-5th
    LWSB- 3rd

    It was great to see everyone after a long haitus, I'm gonna find the rest of my mojo and hopefully lose the 5 seconds I packed on over the winter. A few tweaks to the bike are in order as well. Thank you to my Low Down Racing peeps for lots of good times and support, as always. See ya in 3 weeks!

    Ps. Chuck, slowww down!

    Nice job! Everybody was slow this weekend...except the fast guys aha.

    And yeah...I have a feeling Chuck has a bump in his near future.

    Re: 226 round 1 2012

    Glad to see you back on the podium in LWSB and at NHMS in general. (that goes for the rest of the Low Down crew, as well)

    As for me, I was out to do exactly what I did in round 1 last season, show that I am ready for the bump that I was denied in the off-season.

    Way to go Brett, don't worry the times will come as the weather warms up.

    I'm with Doc on this. You were a major worry for me at the end of last season. It will come back to you and I'm betting very quickly.

    A podium on the opening weekend of the series is nothing to sneeze at and as was mentioned...everyone was slow except for the super-human peeps.

    Don't go selling that Hawk yet, Wild Bill. I might be needing that in a couple years.

    I still can't believe you snuck 5th away from me Brett! That was an awesome move...and another learning experience for me, so I guess not all bad. Arcy got a shot of you stalking me...

    3rd place is good enough to buy you a beer when I come home...and hopefully a few more by then! Nice job bro!

    careful out there when you get really close to the wall. it gets a bit dirty and it gets hard to actually steer away from it. I actually rubbed my tires on the wall last year once, made the pass though.
