Comp Edge TWMX Muscle Milk 3/4/12
Posted: March 5th, 2012, 9:04 am
I haven't raced since the last Winter series. Had a great time. No wind at all.
Nice to see Laurie and Heather again and a few others. Laurie hadn't been there in five years so I gave her a tow around for practice. Heather rode Saturday but not today.
Now that TWMX Muscle Milk are sponsers there's 500 sign ups vs 300 when it was Vet X Racing. So what use to be 10-12 races are 17-18. Makes for a longer day. Or adds another hour and a half BT motos. I was race 8 of 17.
First race I lead from start to finish. Although the guy (#45) was catching me.
Had a great battle back and forth in the second moto with a friend of a friend (#45), didn't know it at the time. He would pass me in a double in the back but I would catch him in the rythem section and would pass him back over the finish line doubles til he gets me again same place only to get him back again at the finish line doubles. Third lap a lapper got in his way there but didn't help me much. This went on for three of the four laps. Normally its 5 laps but the first guy in the first gate drop would pass us all so we lose a lap. Just as well, Not being in shape enough for 5 laps at full speed. I had to give it up to him on the last lap or risk not finishing, and after seeing the First place trophy it just wasn't worth it. Still it's a 15 minute moto.
Went 1-2.
