After ten weeks off I was ready to go racing again.  I had spent the last two weeks out in Indiana testing and training getting ready for the season to start back up again.

After getting to the track on Friday and washing and setting up the truck i was excited to be back.  I have been to Unadilla 5 times now and Saturday was thew sunniest and warmest it has been in the 5 years I have been there.  The track looked dry but looked like it was going to be good.

Sunday morning turning up to the track was typical NY weather, overcast, cool and wet.  Luckily it didn’t rain a whole lot as it would have made the track pretty difficult, after the morning guys got done on the track it was actually in pretty good shape. 

I got a horrible start and managed to make a few passes going around the first mudhole right off the start, I rode pretty steady on the first few laps and worked my way up slowly. By halfway I was riding in and around the top 5, going from 3rd to 6th and back again so it was pretty fun.  I felt pretty good but I struggled with lapped riders a little more than the other guys i think.

On the last lap I was in 5th and made a pass into 4th not far from the finish and was able to hang onto that to the end.

I felt good and was super happy about the changes I made with my bike, I was just a little off the pace but I was happy to extend my points lead a little further.

I’m back In California now so I’m looking forward to this week and next getting in some good practice and get ready for the next GNCC in TN in two weeks..

Thanks for all the help and support
