A good weekend I got a 7th, 9th, 5th, and 7th. I was having a lot of problems with tire wear and getting the bike to finish the turn. I finally made some improvements to both of those and that resulted in my 5th place and my best laptime at PBIR by one second of 1:19.5. The most fun video to watch is Unlimited Supersport.
First up was the GTO Saturday night race 7th:

I ran 6th for most of the race but got passed with two laps to go and just couldn't keep up. From watching this video I noticed I was missing my mid-corner points and worked on that in my next races
Next was Unlimited Supersport on Sunday 9th:

Personally, this is my favorite video EVER! Takes me back to a video Keith made with Chuck Graves where Chuck passes the enitre Endurance racing field on his sprint bike. The story is we swapped tires and my mechanic forgot to adjust the tire pressure. He literally remembered at the last minute and stopped me from going out on track so he could let the air out. This caused me to miss the warm up lap and I had to start from pit road after all the experts and amateurs made their start. LOTS of passing fun.
Then came Unlimited Superbike 5th:
The batteries died for the video camera so there's no video.
Got a decent start and did my first sub-1:20 lap time. I finally got the bike to turn a bit better and completely handled the massive tire wear problem. I caught 4th place in traffic and almost got him at the line.
Finally, Unlimited GP 7th:

Seven riders nose to tail for two laps until I make too many mistakes and lose touch. My best lap ever of PBIR at 1:19.5 is on lap two.

Nice race Lars. I liked the instant replay of Lampe trying to dirt track T7.
Haha, thanks man. He was riding over his head all day. I thought the crash in SS would have smartened him up!
Ah but crashes due to a mechanical don't smarten up the rider! :) Apparently a bolt in the clutch side cover came loose and got oil on the right side of his tire.
thats what she said, and i dont believe that. i had front view and i had no oil in my bike ;)
