#331 round 4 report

[CBR929RE]

I had to work friday night so I figured I'd show up late saturday and skip first practice because it was supposed to be around 100° on saturday. Got there about 9:30 and went to registration where she said they closed at 8:30 but she'd do it for me anyway. Lesson learned, take friday's off. I only worked because I got a day of OT earlier in the week so I had to work all my regular days to still get the OT money. Get everything unloaded and go out for second practice to learn the new gearing and front brake pads I just put on. that wasn't enough practice on them to figure it all out but oh well, on to the racing.

Saturday
MWGP - 4th
Get a a very good start for me and go into T1 somewhere around mid pack. worked my way up to finish 4th with a best time of 1:23.7.66 Decent enough times and my best finish in this race so far I think.

Sunday
GTO - 2nd
Been on pole all year here. Get a better start than I did yesterday and go into T1 in 3rd. Get into a big battle with the guy in second swapping spots a couple times. I thought it was a GSXR but the only guys on them were the guy in first and couple way behind me. so looking at the results online I think he was on a ZX10 but the position comparison isn't working right now. Explains why I couldn't get by him on the gas out of turns but caught up into and mid turn. He ended up having a problem on the straight (looked like a shifter problem) handing me 2nd place. Steve (Firstduc-1098) said just before we went out to not lap him (he was in GTU that was the wave behind me). I needed about another 5-10ft to lap him Best time of 1:21.738. avg for the 20 minutes (15 laps) was 1:23.638. Very happy with this race.

MWSB - 3rd
Started on pole here cause I own it also. Got another good start, guess not being a bitch on the line and getting some revs into the engine helps you get going. Go into T1 somewhere around 5th or 6th I think. Had a good fight with frency21 on his twisty framed gixxah for a couple laps. Swapped spots a couple times then I said screw this and put my head down to catch up to third place. Got into a good battle with Chris Bouchard on a Duc 848 swapping spots a couple times. Passed him on the second to last lap and ran some defensive lines to keep him behind me and take third. Turns out the last lap was my new PB, 1:21.014, so I actually put at least a couple second gap on Chris cause his best was a 1:23.


Thanks to Corey Hildebrand for the 2nd and 3rd place trophies. Still very cool of the Experts to give away their trophies. I was really hoping for another big first place real trophy but I guess that's all over with

NOW - Brake later / Pick up the throttle sooner.. 19's

I keep hearing this - will it work for an SV too?

... Steve (Firstduc-1098) said just before we went out to not lap him (he was in GTU that was the wave behind me). I needed about another 5-10ft to lap him...

After Lucas passed me I knew you couldn't be to far behind. With the chasing of Lucas and the extra to stay ahead of you, i ran my PB of 1:25:7

Good job with your times and another great weekend in the garage

[Chippertheripper]

Nice work Brett. I'm sure cutting your hair would get you into the teens too.

[FirstDuc-1098]

no cutting the hair, i reach out and grab that to get a tow

[darkduc7]

Awesome job brett! You'll be in the teens in no time. See you at Bomo on monday?

the new Vesrah's I put in are awesome. Most of the time I was braking for T1 way too early and being done braking way too early. easily pick up a good bit of time right there. Basically I think anywhere that I'm on the brakes I'm on them too much.

Nice work Brett. I'm sure cutting your hair would get you into the teens too.

do you tell Martire to cut his hair?

Awesome job brett! You'll be in the teens in no time. See you at Bomo on monday?

I'll be there.

Congrats on the new PB, awesome job.

I keep thinking that if I get faster - I'll move up in the ranks - but everybody around me keeps getting faster... haha... that's the way it goes.

Good stuff.

this whole NV group seems to be making good progress every weekend. I went from doing 28s and winning to 21/22 and not winning. I'll take the low 20s and not winning any day of the week though.

[PainfullySlow]

Congrats on the podiums and the new PB!

well its hard to win when kids that have never raced show up and do low 21's, but hey that makes everyone else push harder and go faster
and congrats on the 21's, did you buy yellow plates/paint yet?

[Mad Max]

Congrats on the new PB and the finishes! All good stuff!

Well Jimmy tried to take him out for me on saturday but the red flag just after they got back up meant they kept their positions ahead of me.

I'll get the yellow painted after the BoMo day on monday.
Saw this tonight so I checked my email and got one from Wanda.

[FirstDuc-1098]

wow Brett!!!! Congrats. I guess I won't have my pony tail to grab hold for the tow and the lower lap times. Good luck and go fast!!
