diary of an Endorphin Junkie

Friday was a lot of fun in practice. In the very first session I got my bearings and up to pace. I floundered a bit trying to improve in the second session, but really picked it up in the third session. I've totally got Dreamboat nailed (my achilles heal last year) and found a good turn point in the fast sweeper. I'm carrying more speed in First Attitude and railing through Tooele Corner. (see map)

My lap times were sadly about 7 seconds off where I was hoping to be, but that actually had me in the middle of the experts. I think everyone was a little off due to the gusty winds. We'll see how it plays out on Sunday.

It rained all last night and finally stopped at 6am this morning. Normally I would go ahead and ride on the wet track, but (a) there's only one practice session today and (b) there's no advantage. I don't need to work on lines or smoothness, I only need to work on keeping the throttle open longer in Sunset, Scream and Club House. You can't work on harder, faster entry on a wet track.

(if it was going to rain tomorrow for the mains I would totally practice, but every weather prediction is sunny sunny sunny)
