Saturday – Rain, rain, rain, and more rain. All day. John was kind enough to let me take his bike out to get some points. I went for a “Sunday Ride” and finished both races in last. Many riders opted out of the race so decent points were scored.
Sunday……. Dry….. First up was Thunderbike. The race went well. I got the holeshot and had a small battle for couple laps with Hoffman and Ben Smith. We would all settle into a line and finish that way. Nothing exciting but nothing too boring. Came out with a 3rd.
Ultralight Superbike would be the race. Another holeshot (altho Ben got a slightly better jump off the line) and was able to lead the first 5 laps until Mcglade made his way past me by going up the inside of turn 5. He barely squeezed on by. We would fight it out to the end. By the end I mean to the line, and to the line I mean we finished .001 from each other. I got him by a hair and from my perspective it looked like enough to celebrate. The first win and it felt good.
Thanks to the LWT Racer crew for emotional support and beer.
Thanks to Michael Faillace at Metric Devil Moto for the support this season and the Pirelli tires.
Can never say enough about Zoran at www.TWFRacing.com. He has helped me every step of the way. Gifting me with advice, knowledge, parts, and criticism. The bike was 100% perfect thanks to every bit of help he has provided.
Thanks to Katie Overton for capturing the race.
