had an amazing weekend and just wanted to recap briefly,
saturday race 4 hw ss.
gridded a few rows back as Its only my third amature weekend and i have crap for points. get a good start and come into turn 1 in 3rd behind justin and mike, get passed by brad at the exit of one and he slams the door hard on me in 2 when i try to take it back, hang with them for a few laps then brad decides to drop a 16 and checks out a bit. place 4th and was happy with it.
race 7 unlimited gp.
again gridded in the back for lack of points this time nail the start, come into turn one at the head of the pack (what an amazing feeling that is) put my head down and dont look back until last lap i enter 12 and BANG theres brad, straight lines 12 into me after im tipped in, i stand it up and run across the grass, somehow keeping it upright, him and clarky we're apparently in a heated battle in a different race in the same wave and caught up to me as my brakes were fading bad. i take the checkered in first and have my first amature win. I may or may not have stood up a wheelie from 5 to the entrance of 6 i was so thrilled.
sunday race 5 unlimited superbike;
new brake pads and a totally new compound had me all over the place trying to figure out how to use them, got a good start came out of turn 2 in 5th, someone almost highsided in 12 right infront of me (blue 848 i think) and i passed tyler somewhere, ended up 3rd
sunday race 11
same thing, good start, then chased justin, brad, mike, and rode mr santerre's ass the entire race and could not get by him, so my worst finish of the weekend was 5th. not to shabby,
thanks to everyone at the track who looks out for me. savvas being my topless umbrella girl, clay for the cigarettes and great banter, everyone in center9 10 and of course boston moto for teaching me how to get to 17's within 2 years of my first trip down hot pit at a track day. very grateful for how well my rookie season is going. looking forward to 16's and hopefully passing brad and clarky one of these days
