Last night the stars lined up just right for me. I know I'm still a rank newbie, though. With only 5 bikes showing up, and with the only experienced rider dropping out before the final, I not only won my first round of elimination but I won the final next round! Yahoo!

I won on a hole shot. The kid I went against was really doing well and ran his ET real close. I was way off my ET but had a great RT at 0.095. I wheelied bad off the line and lost about 2 tenths.

My RT: 0.095
His RT: 0.378

My ET: 12.272(12.0)
His ET: 12.154(12.1)

Margin: 0.0651

I used a friends hand held practice tree all week getting ready for last night. Seems to have paid off. The only thing that didn't pay off was the normal $50 gift certificate that the class sponsor gives out. The race director said they didn't drop it off like they usually do. ARGH. I was going to use it to get the slider gloves they now require.

Oh yeah. The kid was about 100 pounds lighter than me on a Honda 600. I really need to work on my diet and lose some pounds.

ps: I corrected my RT after looking at my slips. The 0.050 came the round before.

congrats, you should hit the sponsor up about it, see if maybe he'll still honor it
worth a shot

Congratulations.: )

Def should have looked into the class payout. I would have waited until the following week. A win is a win and the rewards are yours, you earned it.
