Went to Race at Daytona for the first time and first races as a expert. Go to check my grid position and I was on the grid with John Hopkins, B Bostrom, L Pegram, D Eslick, C Ulrich. I never thought I would be racing with those guys but I was. They were racing with us(CCS) to get in some practice for the AMA races. Hopper had the fastest lap all weekend. I did pretty good for my first time there. I palced 7th, 8th, and two 10th's. Running those high banks wide open was a serious rush and a ton of fun.

That's amazing!
Congratulations.
It's a cool feeling to even shake hands with those guys or get an email from them.. To be able to ride with them.. and to some extent keep up.. It's just beyond my understanding.

I honestly can't even imagine how cool that would feel.

AWESOME!

Rick, great job on those race finishes. It had to be surreal to see their names on the grid list with yours.
