What a great day, dare I say it was too hot?? in October??? haha, yeah. it was brutal out there in the heat.
Skipped first practice as my back was a little sore and tight- pulled a muscle earlier in the week,
Went out in 2nd practice and had a nice moment in turn 4 where the rear came around on me. I thought I could get through the day on the tires I used last weekend, guess not. So a new rear goes on for my first race.

Race#6-LWSS
What a battle. I got a great start and was 5th going down the back straight. I manged to get passed 2 people in front of me and was now in 3rd behind a KTM motard. He was moving pretty good, I would just about pull even with him as we hit the brake markers into turn 1 and I would always back off a touch too soon. I was all over his rear tire. We came through 5 and down into the bowl, I was on the inside of him right next to him and I was not braking until I saw him start to.
I stuffed him good,lol. Apparently he got all out of shape and his chain disentegrated immediately following the pass.
Well, stuffing him put me way off line and way hot into 6. I lost the front end about half-way through the turn, did I go down??????? Nope!!!!! Buried my knee into the pavement, back up and going!!! Heck yes!
Battling with that motard let the leader get well out in front- He was on a Duc Hypermotard.
So i cruised to 2nd place- Ran a 1:20:9!!!!

race 12- LWGP-
Oxx was in this race, was hoping to keep up with him. I wheelied off the start and he zipped by, I kept up with him for a bit but he's damn quick. I had myself another moment in turn 2, I just passed 5th place when he ran wide in one and I wanted to get some distance between us. Was a bit too agressive on the throttle at the apex, launched me off the seat, both feet off the pegs. keep it in control, head back down and go! I stayed in 5th for the race and ran another 1:20.9.-

So there it is.
A full season with no crashes, some great improvements, great friends. I am so happy with my performance on the SV. A little sad that I will be taking a hiatus from racing.
Thanks to everyone, Tim for your pics and pit support, Mark for pushing me on the SV, Geno for your years of wisdom, lol, and your morning coffee, Jes for the awesome plaques!!! The rest of DNF for your help and companionship, and thanks to Ange my girlfriend for supporting me and being the DNF Fan Club President.
