Friday
Novice MWGP 9th
while not a good launch by even novice standards it felt like my best ever. didn't make much progress forward. only managed a 1:28. sucky but better than the 30s I was doing in practice.
Saturday
Expert LW Superbike (novice GTO). 1st.
Start from pole as I have done every time in this race. make my typical crappy start and go into T1 I think in dead last. pick off most of the guys in the first couple laps. Started to get lonely and I was wondering where BrianC so I started thinking I must be going better than I thought, then he passed me. little bit later Mike Langlitz passes me. I tried following him for a bit and was a few bike lengths behind going into 3 when he locks up the back brake and goes into the tires. couple laps later he blows by me, WTF. he pulled away a bit up the hill cause I suck at T4 badly but wasn't too far behind by the time we got the straight and the checkered. I think it was the lap I was chasing him that I got my new PB of 1:24.692. didn't know he was in GTU so I got the GTO win. go to the trophy ceremony later to get my little piece of paper and see other novices getting actual trophies so I didn't know what was going on till I got mine. turns out they are old expert trophies. I'm assuming its cause those guys have a bajillion of them so they probably told them to give them out to us non-people. Very cool and thanks to Rick Doucette, I ended up getting one of his.Attachment 25292
Sunday
MW Superbike 5th
Pole again as I have won this race both weekends so far but knew I wasn't gonna take it today so I'd just try to get as high as I can and lower my times. ok start. got stuck behind someone and just couldn't find a way through even though I knew I was faster. after a couple laps behind him I get into 1 a little quicker than him and basically it was hit him or go around the outside and hope he doesn't push me into the grass on the inside of 1A, I chose to go around. He came up to me later and said it was a nice pass and very clean. ran away from him after that and finished a lonely race but had some good laps.
