ECK #565 LRRS Round #4 Report - My first teen

[The Snowman]

Very little time to wrote this up due to a hectic work schedule this week, so it'll have to be cliffs:

Saturday:
Race 3, GTL:
7th of 14 on the grid after a great battle with David Dayon (611) and a new personal best and first ever lap in the teens with a 1:19.771. Unfortunately, this was the only lap in the teens, as the bulk of the rest were between 1:20.000 and 1:20.500.

Race 8, LWGP:
11th of 21 on the grid after my first battle with new-expert Adam Butler (aka the future 2012 LRRS ROTY), getting him on the brakes in T1 on lap 7 with a best lap of 1:20.091.

Sunday:
Race 3, LWSB:
Great start, but got tired midway through and lost some ground. 12th of 22 on the grid with a best lap of 1:20.118.

If anything, I am remaining extremely consistent. I just need to work on releasing the brakes a little sooner and carrying more corner speed. This seems to be killing me in T1, T3, and T6. I'm not disappointed with the results though. I'm making slow and steady progress.

As always, thanks to Annalisa, my ECK teammates, and my friends who help and support me at these events. Thanks to my sponsors, listed on my signature line below. Without you, I wouldn't be doing this.

Grats speedy

And an awesome showing in the Pit bike race. Man you were cranking the bike thru the turns.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that. Had such a blast. I felt it out the first lap or so, tapping the brakes in the corners. After lap 2, I didn't touch the brakes at all and just ground the shit out of my left knee puck. It was so hot, it melted the delran. Fun as hell!

Glad I fitted the CRF with the Pirelli Diablo scooter tires.

Grats Chuckles!

All good stuff, teens seem like such a huge mental block to get by. Consistency is key, something I need to work on. See ya in 3 weeks!

One one hand I'm real happy you got into the teens. On the other hand I wanted to get there first.

Yeah, but I've been on the road and they're at home. I'll try to edit soon. You're long gone in all of them anyway.

I didn't realize you were on the board. The race was LWSB. we were also together in LWGP when you passed Adam (820) on the front straight when he hesitated to pass a lapped in T11.

Come by and say hi next round. We're in center garage #1.

Great riding Chuck...dipping into the teens is a serious landmark. Not too many can say they got there in the LW class. Congrats.
