2nd place again damnit!

Same results as the last big bike only MIROCK series event. Finished top 12 on Saturday and took 2nd on Sunday. Maybe 3rd time will be a charm. 4 of last 6 races I took 2nd. Good thing we decided to split the purse before we ran.

I had the Busa beat by 8 bikes probably and I broke out by .03 after letting off and dropping 10 mph!!!! I had a .005 light to his .054.

4 of the final 6 bikes were Busa's. The other 2 were me and a ZX-10. I had to let both Busa's and the ZX-10 (stock wheel base) go first,

Was running 9.64-9.88 (off the throttle all weekend), on motor.
