    Im Tired!

    What a crazy weekend. Friday prctice went well right up to the point i tucked the front in turn 5 On sat. MW SS was one of my funniest races of the year. Four of us trading the lead several times each lap. I think i lead 5 laps and finished 3rd. That is the best kind of race to be in!
    I finished 3rd in HW SS after a not so good start for me. In the afternoon the rain came. I finished 3rd in MW end and fourth in HW end on DOT tires. Everyone that finished in front of me was on rain tires and they were hauling a$$.
    Sunday i had ROR U and ROR O.
    In ROR U the lead trio of riders checked out leaving the race for 4th place. I ended up 6th which is right about where i had been finishing all year.
    For ROR O i rode my gsxr 750. I went out on the tires i used in HW SS and HW end so i was hoping for a top ten depending on how long my tires would last. I started 5th row middle. I got a good start and i think i was 5th or 6th into turn one. I n turn three i got a couple of guys on the brakes and got into 3rd place. I was able to stay in 3rd untill lap 12 or so. A combination of the tires going away and me just being super tired resulted in me eventually finishing 6th. All in all not bad for being on a 750 but it would have been nice to have an extra 30-40hp

    Big thanks to all the corner workers for standing out there in the rain and speedy recovery to all injured this weekend.

    Nice job this weekend Mike. It was kinda nuts watching you guys run the Endurance in the rain. I pulled out of that. Saw 3 people go down during 5 mins of racing.
