Been very busy but accomplished getting my racing license with the CRA at the end of August. Took 3rd in the New Rider Race (first podium, yay), and then proceeded to finish middle-back of the back with the rest of the 600's.

Still it was a blast. I cannot wait until next season. Had a few off track incidents and one lowside crash in turn 12 protecting my position under the white flag in the 2nd to last race. Overall I put on around 220 miles my first weekend and got down to a best lap time of 1.49:037 on the competition course.

I learned that I brake later than most, and I could use a bit more power. I also need to work on body position and loose 20lbs over the winter.

Part of my crash was being too greedy on the brakes part was my driver peg touching the corner when at full lean, I've ordered aftermarket rear sets to correct that issue.

A power commander this winter should help the mid range power loss I've been experiencing, plus the muffler being fixed.

Few action shots. New rider race turn #3 and Turn #9 during a Middleweight Superbike race on Saturday. As well as flat out in Turn 1.
