Well it was good getting out on the track again after the long winter off. And always nice to meet up with some fellow Trackwhores! Had a nice time BS-ing between sessions with Mike, Nate, Ryan, Nate's Dad and some others whose names are escaping me. Ryan, wow really sorry to hear about your wrist, here's hoping you can hit the physical therapy hard during recovery and prove that Doc wrong. You were really moving out there.
As for the riding the first session out on track I felt like a duck out of water and was simply trying to stay out of everyone's way while knocking the rust off. Each session thereafter felt progressively better and the lap times continued to reflect that. I wasn't out to set a new personal best and for the most part circulated in the :23-:24 range with one session dropping into the :22's so I was happy with that. Unfortunately that will be my last trip to Summit for the foreseeable future which is a bummer because I really love it there. When you can string together the back section of the track perfectly and really nail it, its a beautiful thing. I felt like I nailed it only a couple of times but found myself with a big shit eating grin when I did. And of course the nice long straight provides ample opportunity for my cheater motor to do its thing.
I was excited to get home and plug all the data I accumulated from my shiny new GPS "puck" that Mikey sold me. Only to find out the software is Windows only...DOH!! So I have nothing to add to Matt's stats at this time
.And Dave I thought your delivery was fine, I liked the part about don't stay where you crashed because sometimes we like to be social
.
. There's a lot of interesting data that I have no idea what to do with ha! Its kind of fun to watch the little dots race each other around the track though. I hit my top speed of 151.11 in the morning and ran a 1:25. In the afternoon for my best laps my top speed was never higher than 146.
