Redeemed: Sunday w/ REDUC

In a recent thread I had claimed myself "Guilty of Neglect", neglecting my motorcycles. I ran with REDUC this past Sunday at Pocono in the Advanced Class (Novice, Intermediate, Advanced and Expert). A well run event with maybe three Red Flags all day and NO ambulances ever leaving the event not bad considering the event was SOLD OUT. I ran every Advanced session that went out, at least 6 probably 7 sessions total. I didn't have anyone timing me but know that my times improved, especially towards the end when I was hitting all of the "marks" and using the WHOLE track. Got passed by some guy on a ZX-??R almost every session (he should have been bumped up maybe?). Did some passing of my own. No pucker incidents, no "going moto", no harm done to man or machine, except maybe tires and kneepucks.

You got 6-7 sessions in one day with 4 groups?

If the guy on the Kwak is who I think it is, he probably should've been Expert seeing as he races. Younger kid on a 636 I think.

Yup, smoothly (?) run event to say the least. Oh yea, we stayed until 6 PM.

Never did get over to their pits to find out who the rider was. On track, they would pass and be GONE. Obviously had some suspension work done and slick tires, I could notice that much as they passed. Always clean passes but the rider would never wait for me so I could at least learn something . Maybe they just wanted to practice their passing techniques? And thats cool too. No harm done.

I'm sorry I missed it. Damn. We'll be there on the 25th at their Pocono East event, and we'll be at the joint Reduc/STT event at BeaveRun on October 9 & 10...
