Thanks everyone. It was definitely cool. If it wasn't for Matt, Chris, and John I would still be in B.... those guys helped me out A LOT this weekend.j_fuggin_t;180932 wrote: congrats!! its fun to be the slowest guy yet again
as far as being the slow guy, I actually got to pass 2 people in my first session... and 1 person in my 2nd session. It was fun being buzzed by some of the fast guys though..... Some of the boys in I are DAM quick. I am sure once it warms up, the two guys I passed will be buzzing me as well..

Congrats Mikey Meatball-
I was impressed by not only how you rode, but by your overall attitude on and off the track. If I'm honest, I had some concerns about your mindset w/ the track based solely on some early posts on this forum. But, I have to say you have one of the best attitudes AND are one of the most courteous riders I've had the pleasure of working/riding with.
Seeing you earn your bump and the way you approached the entire thing was as much fun for me as it was for you. Keep working on the suggestions from Jiggy and Matt b/c they were right on point. And most importantly, keep having fun.

Thanks. I'm hoping to figure out that turn 6 also in hopes of minimizing some of that risk you were talking about.
I did find that after I got bumped, I felt like I was going really fast the first session, even though the times weren't blazing fast... so the second session I forced myself to touch my chin to my shoulder like Jiggy had suggestex, and things really slowed down and it allowed me to pick up the pace without even trying. It was kinda awkward at first, but felt great once I saw how much easier it made riding at pace.
Thank all of you again.... it was an AWESOME weekend.
