Daytona true confessions

[Fat_Nate]

First time at Daytona this year, and I must report to the group that -- although it's embarrassing as hell -- the funniest and most enjoyable part of the weekend for me had to be when I made a last-lap pass for what I THOUGHT was the lead . . . then practically held my breath on the banking to see if I could hold the point to the flag.  I did manage to make the pass stick, and as soon as I crossed the line I was waving to the cornerworkers like mad, pumping my fist to celebrate my "first win," waving to my dad at the fence around the International Horseshoe . . .  

As it turned out, I had not won -- I guess there were a couple of guys so far up the road that I didn't even see 'em?  Ahh, but what a wonderful cool down lap.

Sounds like you guys had a blast out there. I had big time problems with my SV. Valves were stuck wide open and they were extremely tight on the rear cylinder. :'( Oh well. I did ok though on thurs at the hammer practice. I was doing 1:58's my second practice session. Not bad i guess for never racing there before. It hurt to watch you guys out their having a blast. Yeah well next year, and summit point is right around the corner. Congrats to yah all.  ;D
