This last November race was pretty rough. I didn’t do very well, I stayed up, but it drew a lot of questions into my mind about where I want to go with my racing, and whether or not I’m ready to compete on my new middleweight bike. But, for as ominous as this sounds, it by far wasn’t all bad, and actually started off quite well.
I decided to get a way from school a day early and came down on Thursday afternoon. I was able to spend the day with my family and Michelle, and it served as a nice break from the intense amount of work I had to do for my classes. Because I was home early I got to use all of Friday to get the bikes into proper order and prepare for the races on Sunday. During my work I was able to make a butt pad for my R6 to keep me from sliding back so far during it’s lightning quick acceleration. It was a nice day, and I got a lot done, it was satisfying to have things be so simple and completed. After the bikes were all loaded into the trailer, my Dad and I ran over to Firebird to drop it off.
