Sucked. Blew out my transmission friday morning on the first lap.

Drove home Friday night to get my bike to the shop ASAP. Other teammate called me at 11:30pm, said I could combine parts from a few bikes and have one ready to race, so did that. Loaded back up, headed all the way back Saturday morning, assembled the bike when I arrived in the afternoon. Sunday, rode the new bike in practice, but was just out of it. New bike, new track, no confidence, bad mental status, so I decided not to race. Just hung out, helped out in the pits, and watched. 1400 miles of driving and only 20 or so practice laps to my credit.

I wish I had my bike though, I think I could have been on the podium in most of my races.

Now I just hope my bike is repaired by this weekend, since I already paid for the two day track day at LVMS.
