Well great. I figured there would be some changes to the track this week, but dam instead of 5 doubles there's 6. WTF it's suppose to be a vet race. The whoops are gone and replaced with two doubles, which I did get in my practice but I decided to go out towards the end of the first practice to roll them and see if. I did blow the corner after the second double one lap in each moto. Didn't lose a position though. Then the double before the finish line table turned into a 60 foot step down which would hurt you landing it about 50'. Damit I was making that double before Now there's no way to clear the finish table either.
Anyway. Moto 1. I get a decent start, a few corners into it I shove one of my rivals out of the way. Then hoping to have a clear lane for the double/trip I go for it and just bearly clipping the bars of someone on landing, it doesn't get any closer without one or both of us going down. Cool I'm in second now but not know it at the time. Put my head down to chase down the first guy cause he's rolling everything and knew all I had to do was stay with him. Its just that he corners better than I. Now if I hadn't of blown that double one lap I would have caught him sooner. White flag comes out and I'm behind him so it was an easy pass doubling the trip. but he catches back up until I hit the two doubles that replaced the whoop section. Then I'm thinking. Dam did I win that race? YES
Now if I can only back it up.
Moto 2 Not a bad start but for some reason I under cut I guy and go left leaving me way to the outside. Later I'm thinking WTF did I do that for? Then there goes the two I need to finish ahead of. They both would get away then I'd catch up clearing the doubles but by the third lap I'm spent already and the mistakes set in. Blow the double again and not long after stall it in another corner.
Oh well the first moto was fun and I came home without a scratch. Went 1-4 out of 5 for 3rd over all.
Next race Glen Helen 11/8
I thought I was more out of shape and was going to be a crappier pic, but not bad really.
Now that I know Fractured Vet is there taking pics lets put some more style into it. plus my wings aren't flaping.
