To everyone who was at CMP this past weekend (4/11-12)

[Chris410]

I wanted to say hats off for some great racing! It was my first time to CMP (I think that was the case for most of us) and I had a blast 

CMP was a beautiful track, for me a lot of fun even though I struggled I still liked the track.  Racing was great, thanks to some of you I managed to learn and improve quickly.  I just wanted to say thanks to everyone!  I had a blast watching/racing so I hope everyone made it home safe and those who went down I hope were ok and bounce back quickly.

The drive was long but to me it was worth every second.

See some of you at Summit!

Chris, I had every intention of coming over to say hello after meeting you on the Supermoto Junkies forum, but I kinda had my hands full this weekend (see my thread).  Hope you did well this weekend, I'll stop by at Summit.

I'm glad you enjoyed your time at CMP. I believe it was the largest turn out ever there at the track. The new config. seemed to improve racing. I know I enjoyed flagging for you guys/gals. I was at 4 on Sat. and really enjoyed 14 on Sunday as the conditions were not wet that day. I saw some really good racing and passes on that turn. The new area at 12/13 really improved speeds approaching 14 so it made for some good set up passes!
Hopefully next year the participation will be even bigger!

Check out some of my pictures from 14 on Sunday!

Do you have a link Cornerman?  To everyone who I did not get to meet we'll do so at Summit. 

Also, if anyone is going to the Roger Lyle day please come up and say hi if you see bike #410.

Just amazes me how everyone comes together...sounds corny but the racing combined with good people make this sport worth every penny, effort, sacrifice!  I think each race weekend we live more than so many people do...

Ok ok...I'll shut up with the corny stuff now :-)

My first time, wife and kids had a blast, didn't pick up times until Sunday, which I was in the low 48's. And everyone hates it last race out of 6 going to fast right @7 someone brakes late hits my elbow front end goes woblewoblewoble until I get control which never happen until I hit the sand trap and dump it before the tires.  Was mad as hell about it. That guard rail looks scary @150 and a foot away. But loved being back into racing.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but there were no crashes at the start of any races right?  Pretty amazing considering the set up...it was "different" that's for sure.  I ran 7 sprints and each start it was chaos as usual but everyone did an amazing job of holding their lines and showing quite a bit of control.

no there was one in front of me I think it was sat race hw ss I think, one of the last races that day. One went down and under the bike of another. It was weird he just slid in front of me and I was holding the brake hard not to run over him, and with everyone going by I was stuck until the two of them drifted by.

View from timing & scoring, and Race Control ..

We always watch the start. When the dust cleared, rider was under bike and trying to get out.  He got out, got up, ran to another bike, picked it up and freaked everybody in the tower out thinking he was mad and was going to take the other guy's bike and shove it into the woods.  But it must have been his bike.  They ended up having 4 riders, 2 safety crew members having a party throughout the race at turn 1.

Never a dull moment!
