6th of 18 in LW Supersport; 11th of 20 in LW Superbike ( ). Running against all those locals on a tight, narrow track ain't easy!

Congrats!

I was going to try to swing out there sunday but it didn't pan out. And I hear you about self preservation, every time I go past turns 4&5 I see the tire wall and cringe.

I heard someone hit a tire wall this weekend and their bike went right on over the top. I got some decent slides coming through 5. Almost thought I'd have to use the rumble strip as a berm a couple times!

Not when the tires line the edge of the track and the guardrail is 30 feet up a hill . . . .
