I spent the day out at Pukekohe track today, running the pits for a private hire put on by my brothers car yard.
3rd time I have done this for love, as all profits (over $2,000 today) go directly to Camp Quality, who support kids and their families coping with cancer, but this time it was different.
This time, I went out to the track on my bike.
Long story short, I begged and grovelled to be allowed a squirt during the lunch break, but was DENIED!
So, I went to a higher power.
I asked Gary.
Gary is GOD!
Gary did for say, "Yeah boy, fill ya fucking boots!"
So fill I did... well, for 3 laps anyway at the end of the day.
Rosey may never be the same again. I had a mate tail me in a Primera, and for the first lap, he buttoned off because I was riding like a right royal nana (it was wet, and I haven't scrubbed the new tires right over yet (cos I am a nana!)).
The second lap, after a pant wetting moment involving my front tyre and a large stone causing it to lose traction momentarily, the HTFU pill had started to kick in and I exited Castrol a bit quicker. I didn't look at the speedo, but said Primera drive was at 160 and wasn't sure how quickly he was or wasn't catching me.
Third lap, it was getting a bit slippery, so I buttoned off a bit again, and managed a semi-respectable 145 down the back, then called it quits, because it was getting just too damn easy!
So yeah, I'm bloody hooked! I need more track time.
And a faster bike.
And a slightly bigger HTFU pill...
(Some cornering lessons wouldn't go astray!
Anyways, that was my day... hope you all had an equally awesome day of riding, see you on the roads!
