So we didn't do the greatest at the last race (Putnam Park Indiana). My boy and I are racing in the same class this year and he was running 2nd the whole race until he crashed a couple laps from the end. Luckily there were only 6 entries so he finished 6th. Unfortunately I only finished 4th. I suck at Putnam!!! Not sure why. Boy mashed the bike up pretty good but I was able to get it rideable and we borrowed a helmet for Sunday's race because he broke his in the crash. He finished 4th and I finished 6th out of about 12 entries. So we're tied after round one and coming back to the home track (Gateway Motorsports Park) where hopefully we can do much better. Some rebuild pics:

In the last few days I took the boy's bike from this:

My club does 6 regular track day sessions with races over lunch and at the end of the day (if you have a race license and want to race). I was mounting new race tires and rain tires last night and fell and think I broke my damn finger, or at least stretch out all the parts in it. It's all swollen up this morning and I can't bend it. Shouldn't have had those margaritas before changing tires. Smile I can't imagine it's going to stop me from riding this weekend but it pisses me off! Smile

Bought a used one. UPS guy dropped it off with a hole in the box and dents in the side of the tank. No problem, 5 minutes and some bondo and good as new. Smile

Here's our race on Saturday. I took 3rd in this race but was battling for the lead most of the race. My boy was up there too for most of the race. Announcer gets us mixed up a few times but did a really good job:

I took 2nd on Sunday in the rain race. I would have won if this new kid didn't show up and beat me. Smile I will make a video of that with the announcer audio as well.
