the adventures of me

I went to bed saturday night, with the intention of getting up at 430am to head to the track at about 1030. I woke up @ 1230 and 230. After 230 i could not fall asleep to save my life. So around 4 i dragged myself out of bed and left for the track. Once I arrived I found a great place to pit, Close to tech and next to Method Moto the Pirelli Vendor. This will work good since my pitbike was not running. Once registration is open, I go register for Lightweight Grand Prix and UltraLight SuperBike. After getting hassled in tech over my boots I finish up setting up for the day.

Practice – What a nightmare, Bike handled like complete crap. That might have something to do with the 3 trackdays + 8 or 9 races & 5 practice sessions I had on them already. I came in early as i just wasnt confident in the bike overall. I brought it in and talked with Rick from Method Moto who looked at the tires and said the front was barely warm and the rear was fine. I park it and take the wheels off. After getting a new set of stickies, I decide to throw the wheels in the trailer since rumor had it was going to rain.

I also found out a track friend of mine Dale the Continental Dealer had gotten some RTech from another track friend. I wanted to get some so I could get the bike setup on it for when i start selling it next season. After talking with Clinton, we came up with some ideas that will help us both out.

Fast forward through lunch and onto Race 9. Ultra Light Weight SuperBike
Fantastic start, probably best start of the year. I apparently got some testiculars back and im holding off for 2nd. I dont know how far back they are but i know they are close. So i just focus in on the leader. As im comming around the start finish i see the meatball flag and glanced at the number board. I see 4_4. First reaction is FUCK that better not be me. So ive pretty much lost interest and get passed by some fast amatuers. Comming around the SF again, Sure enough its 484. I raise my hand to signal i saw the board and pretty much said fuck it. I come in down pit road stop. both feet on the ground. and get waved off. promptly stalled as i see the last place amatuer go by. I get back start playing catchup. I finished 4th out 4th

I talked with the Guy at Pit in and he says it was for jumping the start. apparently we are in the AMA now and fork movement consists of a start. And the guy who was leading, defintely left before i did. Nothing i can do about it now.

Race 14 – LWGP – Crappy start cause my momma got scared and said your going to live with you auntie and uncle in belaire. My field pretty much walked away on me. I had a shifting issue going into 7 on lap 3 or so and went to the run off. Turned it around and start catching the AMs again. As im comming for the White, I hear Joe (Cowboy6) on my ass. I cross with it white. He goes flying by and starts waving for his win. Next thing i know 2 guys go flying by us and keep on racing? WTF. They apparently got 2 white flags and no checker. Joe ended up winning the race which was good for him. He earned it

This weekend since i got new gadgets recently. a Garmin Forerunner 305 [Heart rate monitor with GPS]. I decided to race with it on. The results can be seen here. Im pretty sure im going to have a heart attack while racing one day. So Im going to definitely focus on some cardio for a bit. Also since Ive been doing P90X, I was not wearing out like I have been in previous races. Which im estatic about.  Next event is Daytona for the Race of Champions in October

I would like to thank Woodcraft, Vortex, Sharkskinz, Method Moto, Boston Moto, Pirelli, Lockhart Phillips, Sidi, Vemar, & CT Power & Sport for their support. Without it, I would not be able to do what I am doing.
