Dad here again. Just a quick "between the races" update. I successfully survived my first big motorcycle race weekend (3 races), and while I proudly came in last each race (pride saver: my bike weighed more and had a 1/3 the horsepower of the others) I did NOT crash out as several others did each race... i.e. race 1 turn 1, three bikes go down in the fight for the slot. Here are the results if you want a laugh: CCS VIR June 20. Next set of races should be better as I'll be able to stay for the races in the proper class. Unfortunately, none of the 3 photograph companies that were there taking lots of photos have posted them yet, so these I snapped at the track will have to do.The HattenBus did spectacularly well by the way. The odometer rolled over to 300000 about 4 miles from the race track (at 12:30 at night).
During the day however, it was a might-bit-toasty, as you can see from the pic of the thermometer (105 degrees). But hey: at least the humidity had fallen down to 42%. The screens on the windows and a powerful fan were life savers.
Next up: the July 11th 24 Hour of LeMons race in Stafford CT, with a car this time. w00t!
