I'm in... wait, i guess i was a little late letting you know. Congrats on your finishes Clint. I ran some different classes this time to try things out. I ran A superbike/superstock, B Superstock, C Superstock. Got a 4th in A superbike, 2nd in C superstock, 2nd in A superstock and crashed out of B superstock. I was leading the CSS race until the last turn when my danos quickshifter didnt want to go into next gear. when it finally did I had a Provisional Novice sneak around me and win the race. I crashed in the left hander on the back section before heading down the hill. I was in third behind McQuigg but i stuggled to pass the expert infront of me. When i finally did I knew I had to make up alot of time, so i was pushing harder... maybe too hard. I lost the front in the middle of the turn and the bike slid on track until it hit the dirt and she flipped. I am ok and my bike is not too bad. i am lucky/happy that I am ok. I am looking for a subframe, tank, clipons, and other stuff for a 06-07 R6R... if anyone has anything let me know. |

Glad to hear you're okay Tom. I didn't know you went down until I had already arrived back home and checked my Facebook. Of course I was in a hurry to get back home and rest, as I too had an off. Actually my first one! Those darn experts! I had just made a pass in 14? (the right at the top of the hill) and was hammering, also trying to catch Thomas. I was flying through 16 and felt a little too fast and perhaps a tad off-line. I tried to barely touch the front brake, (one finger, just to the point I could feel the lever apply the push rod into the master cylinder, then bang!, down on my right side, sliding towards the edge of the track at nearly 90 mph. I attempted to put out my arms to keep from rolling on the asphalt, which worked, but then I caught the grass. I tumbled once and then rolled twice but was able to get back up and pick up the bike. I should have went to tech quickly and got back out there to salvage points, but didn't think about that at the time. As it stands, I'm 5 points behind in HWTSS and 16 behind in HWTSB. It's really gonna take quite a bit to get even again in superbike with only 4 races left! There's really not that much damage to mine or me for that matter. I went out on Sunday and got two second places in the HWT races, but lost five seconds per lap. |

Thanks! Next time I think I'll pick a slower corner though. |
