GTL 8th LW Grand Prix 10th LW Superbike 6th UltraLite Superbike 4th
June 1 Once again I did not make it to Friday practice on time! But I did register and got the bikes through tech inspection. So I don’t have to rush tomorrow. Sat. June 2 Practice: B bike : Still getting used to the narrow power band. It is hot and humid and I’m not happy with the way the bike feels. GTL: B bike 8th place New DOT tires feel good and I’m back down to 1:26’s, but the bike feels slow and the power band is very narrow so I find my self waiting for the bike to pick up power exiting most corners.
LWGP: B bike 10th place Changes: rejet main’s from 270/260 to 280/270 Bad start and the same power band problem despite rejetting the main’s could not keep me from having a good race with the Ducati 750 of Joel Taylor. The race was red flaged and cut short at the 4th lap. Sun. June 3 Practice: A bike Cooler temp. and much dryer. the bike runs good I think the Tyga exhaust gives a better power band. Slick Tiers acting good , I love new rubber !!! LWSB: B bike 6th place Bike was very hard to start before the race but thanks to Jon Cone and Travis Beaudoin’s dad we got it started and I made the pre grid. The bike ran good. The tires felt good all the way to the flag and it showed. Lap times are down to 1:25s, but once I passed the finish line the motor locked up and the rear started sliding. I grabbed the clutch and coast it out. ULSB: A bike 4th place After blowing the B bike’s motor and being unsure about if it’s going to rain or not, we had to haul ass and mount the DOT’s from the B bike onto the A bike (thank god for my “team mates”). The bike felt better with 13/44 gearing and I was very comfortable and focused on my line more then the set up. After not a bad start that put me in the middle of the pack I have passed Tony (#433) and Joel (#719) and rode the rest of the race alone. The result was 1:24:680 and that made my weekend perfect!!!
