Ah, time for round #3.<\/p>\n
I was feeling pretty darn optimistic when I signed up for races for Sunday. \u00a0I signed myself up for 7 races. \u00a0Not sure what I was thinking, it’s hot out and I’m still having some issues with my neck. \u00a0It wasn’t not one of brighter moves. \u00a0Needless to say, I didn’t ride them all, I did make it out there for 5 of them though. \u00a0Not too shabby.<\/p>\n
For the first time in I don’t know how many years, I made it out for the first practice session. \u00a0Things felt so good out there that I didn’t want to do the others. \u00a0Which worked out well for Kelcey. \u00a0He took my bike out and worked with Mikey Shreve who was finally back on a race bike after something like 4 years.<\/p>\n
I think Thunderbike was the highlight of my day, I got a great start, hit the first turn in Second, Mark made it around me going over the bump into turn 2. \u00a0I stayed pretty close to him for 2 more laps, even thought at one point I might catch him to try and pass. \u00a0That didn’t work out, I got a cramp in my right calf that was just too distracting so I fell back a bit and wasn’t able to make up the distance. \u00a0There was about 3 laps where I was thinking that there could be something wrong with the bike. \u00a0It kept feeling like it was missing, I also misses a shift twice. \u00a0It took me a bit longer than is should have to figure out that the bike was just fine. \u00a0That what I was feeling was the rear tire spinning up. \u00a0It was kind of freaking me out when it started to happen in turn 6. \u00a0That’s a really fast turn with lean… \u00a0Even with that I did manage to put enough distance between me and the guy behind me, so that I would be able to take home 3rd for the race.<\/p>\n
Kelcey took the bike out for Open Superbike, which should have been one of the 7 I did, but I was okay with that. \u00a0It was already hot out and muggy, I needed the break before I went out for AmU. \u00a0I ended up with some neck pain in that one so I came off early, once it starts to hurt I can’t keep pushing the limits as it will just get so bad that I can’t function if I do. \u00a0Yeah, I of course have had first hand experience with it.<\/p>\n
I had a great time in MW superbike, no hole shot this time, but I did manage to hold down 4th for better part of the race before falling back a spot.<\/p>\n
In all it was a great day, the ambulance never had to roll and for me that makes it a perfect day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
