Well i finaly decided at midday saturday after finding out we wernt shearing sunday to go racing.
First thing to do was panic:whistle:as the bike was still in pieces after putting a new shock in the rear cos i feeked the other one last time out and had changed the oil on the front forks.
Back together with no parts spare:woohoo:and loaded on the trailor just in time to go out for tea:sweatdrop.
got home from tea and loaded gear into truck and off to bed at midnight.
Got bugger all sleep and up at 4am on the road at 5am.
Signed in and gear on and went out on the practice but had to come in and wind the preload on after going flying round a right hander and the pipe were the headers join scraped on the track kicking the rear off the seal witch was a little scary wobbling toward the hairpin flat out.
Race 1-good start and diced with a cbr600 and a nsr250 for the whole race with the 600 having and the 250 having the legs on the straight but could get them round the back.
best lap time 1.24 witch is my equal pb so was happy.
Race 2-good start and diced with the 600 again but the nsr with slicks on got a bit ahead finnished with a 1.23 wow anouther PB stocked.
Race3-fucked the start up but not to worry was up with the nsr and 600 and diced with the 600 again with the nsr just ahead untill the end of the race but the 600 just powers away on the straights so cant beat him to the line:angry2: got into the pits to find 2 laps of 1.21 eack Pb again.
Now just to clarify about the times -yes some would say there slow:yawn:but im a fat bugger on a little ol 400 so it does pretty good and im havin fun.
Anyway had a ball and stayed upright although the exaust scrape episode did stay with me but im slowly getting my corner speed up and breaking later into the corners.
Back home by 9pm absolutly buggered but happy so bring on the burt unless i decide to have a play in the endurance race on the 25 oct.:woohoo:
