What a crazy weekend I had.
Big Thanks to:
600killer for getting the bikes ready before the race weekend
RNR Cycles (Jason, Rick and Rachel) for helping me this weekend in the pits
Drew4250852025 for helping me put a bike together
I wasn't able to practice at all for this race weekend, I had to come straight from work to VIR, 0 practice. Haven't been here since last June. My lines were not the best lines, the more time I spent on the track, the more I realized the right lines to take. *NOTE TO SELF, NEEDS PRACTICE AT VIR* I was only able to get into the 38's FML. Yip shitty times.
GTO- DNF I lose the rear going into T1
Get back into the pits with about 20 minutes to spare Drew and Gus are helping me get the B bike ready for the GTU race. The B bike is on its last leg.
GTU- 5th
MW GP- 3rd
UNL SB- DNF I'm in 2nd place going into T1 when #725 David Ur over shoots T1 and is getting ready to T-bone me, so I hit the brakes and shoot out wide to avoid getting hit. By the time I get back on the race line I am now in 5th place trying to chase down 4th. As the laps started to decrease I was gaining on 4th place, he would power me after the kink every single time so it was hard for me to pass him on the straight.
I decided to try and pass him on the brakes before going into the roller coaster so I'm setting up and in T10 I was carrying way more speed than he was when all of a sudden I lose the front end. I'm pretty sure this wreck was my mistake. I probably let off the throttle. I got up with my hand all swollen and hurting. I might of jammed it or broken something.
SATURDAY NIGHT- Made 1 bike out of 2 bikes, swapped a few parts and pieces with everyones help and got done by 12am.
SUNDAY AM- Hand still hurting and swollen, popped a few advils and went out for morning practice.
MW SS- 5th
HW SS- 3rd
UNL SS- DNF Awesome start already turning in for T1 when all of a sudden #725 David Ur once again comes out of nowhere and this time T-bones me. I am pissed off, cursing here and there, I ride out near the tire wall to try and relax and calm down. Then he rides up behind me, I turn to him and say "what's your problem" then he replies back with "that's part of racing" who the fuck says some shit like that? As soon as he said that I was pissed off, no "sorry, my bad" he didn't even come to my pits to apologize at all. http://www.ccsforum.com/index.php/topic,24822.0.html
Now both my A bike and B bike are both wrecked and both need parts, with 30 minutes to spare, Rick, Rachel, Jason, Gus are working their asses off and helping me put 1 bike together for my next 2 races. We get it done in time, a quick ghetto rig, broken windshield, exhaust leak, etc...
HW SB- 3rd
MW SB- 4th
Overall what a crazy weekend, I'm sore, body aches really bad, right hand is swollen and stiff. Next race in 3 days FML.
We'll see what they have to say on Nesba.
