Friday i continued my tradition of crashing in practice.. Threw the bike at the tires in 3 after having a bit to much weight on the bike over the transition. Ohh well. I didn't feel super fast in practice, felt like 25's. And i put on a new front tire. Fixed my rear-set and got a new lever.
Saturday: Practices went good, I spent some time running round with slower riders and trying (unsuccessfully) to show kid my lines. Ran some 25's in practice.
ULSB: I don't remember a whole lot about ULSB, but i remember a lot about battling with the race in front of us. There where a couple Duc 748's and an SV that where giving me a run for my money but i ended up getting in front of them all. Took the ULSB win as well as winning their race, not sure what race that was, but it was fun! I ran low 24's i think.
LWGP: There was no one in this race that was realy a threat, most of them where running in the 27 yo 29 second range. But the middle weight race ahead or us was where the action was!!
I launched into the lead of my race and started knocking on the doors of the 600 riders in front of us, got by a few of them then got into a battle with R6 i think.. Lasted for a couple laps of working from t1 to t12 to try and get him only to have a 3 mile gap build on the straight, then a gap build out of 2 just big enough not to be able to pass on the breaks. FRUSTRATING! I finally lost the bike trying to real him in in 1 to set up a pass in 1a...
I Ran a few 22's in that race with a new PB of 22.4
Gino was corner working and helped me get picked up, told me he could see in my eyes through my visor i was going down before i ever even started the turn... oh well. That was the most fun of the weekend.
Sunday, GTL:
Uneventful race, I launched in 4th or 5th, made it to the lead by the end of lap 1 and we got red flagged. Launched again and this time i tool the lead into t3, lost it up the hill due to stepping the bike WAY out sideways and loosing drive, got it again into 6 and held it till the end. Got passed some of the slower 600's on the race ahead.
I have to say the second most fun i had all weekend was watching the lightweight sportsman (or last man standing, to quote don) race. What a battle between Dan K and Smutty. Awesome! And got to see kid cartwheel a hawk down the t2/3 straight...
Great weekend, cant wait for the classic! I love this hawk!

You need to email "the Don". lrrsracing@tampabay.rr.com
Lay it out for him, tell him you are winning easily when you don't DNF (don't say crash) and you think it would be better for your race craft in Amatuer. Ask to bump after the Classic after you have entered 10 races.Ask NICELY!

Tire money!!
Nice job!! If you bump you could go after Doc's 21![]()
Good read man. You're FLYING out there. I'd also mention in the letter to the Don that you used to race in GA so you're not entirely new to this. You've already been an AM, since CCS does not have a NV.

That's not the first time that's been mentioned here, and he doesn't have many CCS races down south IIRC. He tried to skip the whole school/NV thing here but they wouldn't let him because it had been too long.

Hey man, I met you Saturday when you were talking to Gino. I guess I owe you a beer or something for crashing out of LWGP, giving me the win.You were so far ahead I almost didn't even realize who had crashed.
Oh, as for bumping...I'll be glad to type the request letter to Don up for you.![]()

Haha, please do... But then again i just got a call from ccs saying my Bridgestone $$$ is in the mail.. Maybe NV is not to bad after all
And you don't owe me a beer.. A rear set would be more appropriate.
It was good meeting you. Are you going to the classic? i'm running the same 3 races. Ulsb, LWGP, GTL. What are you in?
Nice report, Your getting your Fast on out there.
Keep it up mang!
