Decided to give racing a try. Licensed with MotoSeries and ran 600 superbike race 2 and Mini Iron Butt (40 minute). Started on row 14 position 35 (dead freakin last) in the sprint race. #1 board went sideways butterflys started green flag waved and I stalled (tach broke fri. evening). Composed myself put my head down ended up 6th in the novice group. The 40min. endurance race went better and ended up with a podium finish 2nd :toocool:

Nice work (and way to represent the trumpets).

Was there all weekend. Friday night dialed in suspension and what not, Saturday did race school, and Sunday raced. The endurance race kicked my butt after riding 2 days in 90* weather plus first time out this year. Did 425 miles.

Nice work out there, congrats on the podium and making up a ton of ground to finish 6th!! I think starts are one of the hardest parts of racing for me, since I don't ride the street, I never really "launch". 40 min endurance, sheesh, I'm complaining about a 20 min solo, I give you props for that!

As for the event, did you think it was fairly well run or kinda sketchy?

Nice! Sounds like a great weekend! I'm sorry we didn't get to chat on Friday! Next time!
