Oh no shit, you were out there?

Were you racing or spectating? A friend of ours was racing in two groups yesterday. Spectacular day out there, though my heart sank when they brought in life-flight (and then a friend went down as well, though it appears nothing more than shaken up and a bit rashed).

We were hanging in the very first pit to the left of the gate to the track - with #101 (white R1 with yellow number plates). We were meandering around there pretty much all day.

Yup, that's Jimmy.

He kicked ass. This was his first race in 15 years; he's in the senior (over 40) heavyweight (

) class, but he also rode in another group, just to get the track time. He didn't expect to even be competitive in that group, and came in in 3rd. But he came in FIRST in his race (WOOT!).

I'd never been to WERA races before; I was really expecting it to be just like a regular track day at Jennings... HAH! Far from it. WAY busier, and WAYYYYY faster. So much fun to watch.

I remembered his white leathers and he was such a good instructor! I'm happy for him, thats awesome!

Not certain what type of races they are, but the first weekend in April I'll be at Jennings watching a buddy race, you gonna be out there that weekend by chance?
