Title: Finally I did a race(2)!!
Post by: cehoward600rr on September 10, 2006, 11:48:02 AM
Okay, I am newbie. So you all know the excitment coming.  :biggrin: New to the trackday bit since last year, and just yesterday on 9/9/06 I am a newbie to this race thing.. Oh boy.. Talking about  a heart-pump!! On a scale of 1 to 10, it was a 50!! :thumb:

I did two races. at Summit Point Main. One was the over 40 bit, can't remember the other one, but I did that one too.  :biggrin:  I had my shirt on and it seems like all the riders, experts and amatuers gave me extra room..I thought this was dog eat dog!! I think everybody knew they had a 65 year old floating around on the track, so they all gave me extra room. Well, it was much appreciated, and I almost wet myself from joy...

I would be doing a race today, but I am gearing up for WERA next weekend at Summit Point..Going to both days..

Life is dam sweet, and I ain't gonna grow up..

ceh

Nah, nothing broke this time, the 600rr and me were real cool!!  :thumb:  Slowest on the track, but cool!! :cheers:

I think that was turn 8 where I busted my wheels, and turn 10 where I crashed at a couple months ago. Well, let me tell ya, everytime I went throught turn 8, and turn 10, I feel a little edgy!!  But, I think that is natural and it should wear off as I pile up some more track/race time..

Rock on old man!  Glad to hear you got out there and put down some races.  It's an experience unlike anything else...

(and I forget if you were the oldest on the 600rr forum or if it was somebody else...  regardless, live the dream.  That's what it's all about...)
