NJMP Tbolt review

Drove up last Friday to NJMP so I can practice at Thunderbolt and get ready for the CCS race this upcoming weekend. At first I thought I was going to have a good weekend, we beat the rain.

First 3 sessions I was having trouble trying to get the race line for the hook, on the 4th session I was finally able to find the line and pick up the pace. I was hyped and ready to go back out after lunch but on the 5th session on the warm up lap, my bike decides to go WOT right before approaching a turn. Everything happened so fast so I hit the front brakes and locked the front tire which caused me to tuck the front.

On the way back from Jersey one of my bearings on the trailer went out, so I had to drive back home on 3 wheels.

Bike was fixed and finished and was ready on Sunday. NJMP in 2 days and a few hours. Race weekend is arriving, most do good and podium. Running for points.

Carolina Motorsports Update



What can I say about this weekend. We ended up leaving Thursday around 8pm, as soon as we left we hit the storm. The storm was going up the the Northeast coast and it rained the entire trip down until 4am.

Arrived at CMP around 4am, unloaded slept for 2hrs and was hoping to practice on a dry track. Around 6:30 it starts raining again, back to bed I went.

Friday practice was ok, wasn't pushing it too hard.
Saturday had 6 podiums

Sunday 3 podiums and a 1st place in the TC representing RNR Cycles.

CMP weekend was a pretty good weekend, 10 podium finishes. I was able to take home $$$ in every race.
Big thanks to RNR cycles, DC-Moto, Gus and everyone else who has always supported me with racing.

Next round will be NJMP Thunderbolt on April 30-May 2nd. I will be practicing with TPM on April 24th, to learn the track and hopefully get up to pace. Big thanks to Trackdaycustoms for paying for 2 of my races. For the NJMP weekend I'll be racing in: GTU, MW SS/SB/GP, HW SS/SB, UNL SS/SB
