I had a great weekend all the way up to the point I high sided my self to the damn moon and back. I rolled up to willow Saturday night and unloaded the truck. I got up early on Sunday morning to mount a fresh set of buns. I talk with Jerry from Bridgestone and i soon find out he is out of 180 rears and he talks me into putting on a 190. I do it and go for the first two warm up sesions. Not to bad of a tire. Not to much of a difference.
Race #3........600 MP, I am grided up in 11th place. A great spot as long as you dont not get sucked in to much on the inside and let everyone motor around the outside of you. My start is ok at best, a little to much wheelie action and i head into T-1 in about 10th or so. I stay hard on the gas into T-2 and make a couple of great pass's. I think i actually might have bounced off a bike or two. I come out of T-2 in about 6 or so and just keep my head down and continue to push. I make good pass going into T-1 and pass two bikes. Things are going welll and i knock off some low 1.27's with a 1.27.2 my best.
Lap six comes around and here comes T-5.................not to sure what happens next other than i see the sky the ground, the sky, the ground and tumble, tumble, tumble. I did feel the back end start to slide but it was normal going up the hill for me but it came to a point when i knew, okay this is going on for to long and at that moment, i am up and over the bars. I am doing good. I have a bruise on every limb of my body, from my toes to my fingers.
I look at this as a learning experiance. The weekend was still great. I had a solid 4th place. All six laps i did complete were all 1.27's and i have no serious injuries. I do need a new set of forks anyone got a set??
