BTW when you're right, you're right! It's a long story but I got rid of that shock I had and later when I went to replace my spring, I found that the threads were stripped! FUCK! So I got on EBay and bought one, in pristine condition, off a bike with under 6,000 miles, including the linkage for ......... $10! I shit you not! So you were right Sir!

I dunno bro... From my perspective your first start ever was amazingly awesome. C'mon... post the pic

Asside from your launches you looked fantastic out there. You're gonna do well, w/o a doubt. You've come a long way since that first track day, it's been fun watching you progress.

Thanks guys... seriously most fun I've ever had. Ever.

And just for some background, the rookie race is an LRRS formality, basically you need to ride 3 laps without crashing and you're officially a 'racer'. Doesn't count for anything, no points, doesn't affect index, nothing.

But it's always heavily spectated because they tend to be funny. I held up that tradition

Plus, since I was holding the bike up with one foot, the wheelie went up to the side and my legs flailed everywhere... hilarious. And there are glorious pictures. Gimme a minute

That is a great pic!

Congrats on phenomenal first weekend.

What revs are you launching at? As backward as it may sound, I find it easier to keep the front end down at higher revs than lower.
