Ok well.....weekend went pretty smoothly. all i have to say though is that it was a huge crashfest all weekend. both on and off the track. kid smashed his head into a tree riding a quad in the woods with no helmet. a rider on a pit bike was hit by a car. lots of fun. anyway...
Friday: Marrc Practice day...Went smoothly....tired as hell from from arriving at 11:30 and staying up shootin the shit for another couple hours with everyone. didnt get my times down to anywhere near where i would of wanted them but i guess i cant complain. best time was 1:27.4. ended off the night with a nice filet at outback
saturday: woke up feeling the effects of the outback filet and my nerves making my stomach feel like it was being stepped on lol. Practice went well....taking it easy with 1:28-1:29's. Went for lunch and on the way back to the track the black clouds rolled in and it poured for a good hour. Team challenge race and the sun dried the track shortly after it stopped. so all was well for the unlimited supersport race. Gridded up 24th of over 30 riders. got a fairly good start and ended up finishing 17th of 25 racers who were left at the end.
Sunday: skipped practice due to my legs starting to fade fast in hopes of saving some energy for the races. first race of the day...heavyweight supersport....a rather Large grid with over 40 riders starting the race winded down to a 26th of somewhere around 38 racers finishing. One hell of a last lap with a ducati 996.....drafting each other back and forth, stuffing each other into turns, side by side......wheel to wheel to the line....but i guess i could tuck a little better with my small body lol.
Second race being unlimited superbike. finished 18th of 24 riders (i think). third lap race was red flagged for a pretty bad crash. spent 10 minutes in the pits.....went back out with cold tires and my fuel light blinking.....and figured i would just cruise and call it a weekend.
final thoughts
i am out of shape. and the battle for 26th place is the most enjoyable time ive ever had on the track. sounds odd dosnt it? anyway...looking foward to vir festival of speed in 3 weeks.
