    Erik's Race report

    so after a disappointing first weekend for myself last weekend.. i wanted to try a bit harder.. on saturday everything felt great in practice.. i had new brakes... and a new rebuilt front end..
    practice went good ran a 1:29 which was a second faster then my race the previous weekend.
    on saturday I ran lightweight super sport.. i got a good start.. second into turn one.. and held it for about 4 laps and then got passed going into 3.. i held onto my position to finish 3rd with a personal best lap time of 1:27..
    on sunday i started off with race 5, supertwins.. had a shitty 3b grid position..and i didnt like the fact that all around me were rc51's and a whole bunch of ducati's.. got a bad start..oribably about 7th but worked my way through the field and eventually got to 4th and ended up placing there...finished with another personal best lap time of 1:26..
    next race was thunderbike.. i felt more comfortable in this race.. this was a similar situation to saturday.. i got a good start probably about 5th into turn 1... i worked my way up to 3rd and contintued to battle with a ducati until in turn 12... a lapped rider took my line and the ducati zipped to the inside and got me and took my 3rd place by .5 of a second... i was quite mad.. but once agian i ended up getting my personal best lap time of a 1:25..

    so in one weekend of racing i dropped 5 seconds off my lap times...
    next weekend i will have new rear suspension considering im running on a stock shock which is way worse then a piece of wood right now.. a damper and running new pirelli tires.. i hoping that i can get my times down to a 1:23 and end the season there!

    "oribably"

    I think that is the best misspelling ive seen in a while, I still dont really know what its supposed to be

    Sounds like a pretty good weekend though shaving 5 seconds is awesome!
