I haven't had a lot of time to get around to writing detailed reports so I am going to give a brief recount of what happened. I will add more at a later date.
No Saturday practice so Sunday was going to be busy. When I woke in the morning Melissa was sick from food poisoning which meant that it was just me today. I loaded the remaing things into the truck and made it to the track right at 7 AM. I found a good pit spot and unloaded the truck and set up the pit. First order of business was to get the new rubber mounted. Even though I was the 3rd person in line for tire changes I didn't get them back and mounted until after the 2nd practice session was already underway. I had to push start the bike thanks to a dead battery and then the last session was red flagged as I was pulling up to the grid. GREAT! No laps to scrub in new tires before the 4 lap qualifiers. I hadn't even ridden in over a month and a half.
I spent the rest of the day putting the bike back together not even sure if my hand would allow me to ride. After lunch I had everything back together so decided to hop on the bike and give it a go in the hot pits. Everything seemed to work fine so I decided to race and just see how it felt. Started the 600SS race and finished 4th! Same with 750SS! Hand didn't bother me too much until I took the glove off and the adrenaline went away. Despite crashing it was a good day and a decent end to my first year racing. I'll be back next year!
