It was a busy weekend. I had a track day on 22nd at TWS and went CMRA races on 23rd and 24th. I got to see a lot of people from HSN and had a lot of fun. A lot of our friends did so well at the races. Very proud of them. Took some photos and would like to share them with you guys.
Charles(nevlec) helped me to trail my bike out to TWS.(thank you so much, Charles!)
Went over to the track on Thursday night and camped out.
Didn't get to wear my purdy cat ears on track....
Track day started out good. It was my first time with LSTD and second time on track.
Then(of course) on second session I went off the track. I was taking it easy and didn't think I was hanging that low. Started dragging my knee and thought I was dragging my exhaust. I got spooked and stood up on T3. I knew I didn't have line to stay on track. Decided to go off. When I was going off, I think my bike was still angled and hit the edge of the track. Banged pretty good and bent my front rim. I didn't go down though. Ronnie who was my instructor watched everything from behind. He said he almost had a heart attack. Sorry, Ronnie....
After that, I was still riding the rest the track. But I felt wobbling on my front. I pulled out and saw my rim got all messed up. As you can see, it wasn't a rideable condition. I went over to Patrick's, but he didn't have tool to help me out. Ronnie offered me his extra rim for the endurance race next day. It was unbelievably generous of him. Without his help, I would've stopped after second session. Yuliya and Charles also offered me their bikes. Patrick helped me to replace the rim. I can't believe how many good people I have around me. Thank you so much, guys. I hope to be your help sometime like you did to me.
No black flags this time.
On third session my left signal light came off, I had to pull out of the track again.
Endurance race
Patrick's team
There were some bad wrecks that day
Sprint race
Ronnie
Possible next year CMRA endurance team. Arturo, Taeyoung and Brian. So far, we have a team name "Second to last".
On Saturday, my car's battery died. My vehicles are falling apart....
Today, I went over to the court in College Station to take care of my speeding ticket that I've got from last track day.(I went over to College Station four days in a raw!!!) It was 20 over 70. I tried to see if I can take defensive driving class after 11 months. But the evil lady who works over there, won't even bother. So I tried to go for deferral, she said I have to do 21 hour community service, 270 dollar fine(including the court fee) and have to take defensive driving class. Unbelievable....(I thought I sped, but I must ran over somebody or something) So I just went ahead and paid the ticket. People, no matter what you do, don't ever get a ticket in Brazos county!!!! :angryfir:
