| no longer a novice and i guess you could say i cheated too. Last week I pondered if I should go racing at VIR on the 22nd. Friday came around and said sure why not. Note i had all week to get the bike ready. Friday morning woke up and got the bike. Found it had a dead battery and needed a new water pump gasket. Replaced those items and made a catch basin for my lower fairing. loaded up everything in the trailer.
Saturday morning. Wake up at 4am and off to VIR i go. Parked the truck and trailer and made my way over to registration. Fill out all the paperwork and stood in line. Luckily i was about the 8th person in line. Registration was a breeze. Got my license,registered for my races, transponder, and paid with a CC all in one window unlike LRRS.
During registration i found out i was going to lose my . oh well. i dicked around all year. so now im AM 484 in the ccs se region
Went out for practice. First 2 laps couldnt do shit right. I guess that happens when you ride the bike once every 6 months. Red flag came out and pitted in till the ambulance was off the course. Went back out and felt alot better. till i got to Turn 7 on the 2nd lap when my shift linkage broke. Not good when i was expecting to down shift twice. sat there till the end of practice and the crash truck came and got me. Talked with neighboring racers and got ahold of another shift linkage. Ended up missing 2nd practice while mounting the new shift linkage and put on some new tires.
I was also planning on racing 2 races today. but i read the schedule wrong and now i have to come back up tommorow. I will probably end up registering for another race for tommorow as well. Right now im waiting for my GTL race (4B) |
