Sunday morning brought very cool 48 degree temperatures with a threat of rain. With only one round of practice available I had to get with the program right away. Not only did I have to get up to race speed but also get comfortable again on the bike since I hadn't ridden it since last August! The bike felt great and the Continental tires were sticking very well even with the cool temperatures. The only place on the track that was a little sketchy was turn five which was a little greasy. I heard later that the dew was coming up through that area so I wasn't the only one one who struggled through there. After five laps I came in feeling good and hoping the rain would hold off so I could get at least one of my three races in but it wouldn't happen. Just as I got situated back in the pits the rain, lightning and thunder came in. It rained hard all morning and into the afternoon. I considered swapping to my intermedate tires but was adviced from a couple of pro riders that the conditions were not safe for them and unless I had full rain tire not to go out. I decided to listen to their advice and call it a day. I watched from under the canopy and saw a lot of riders coming in on the crash truck so I think I made the right call. My next race will be the ARMHA vintage race at Road America, June 9 - 10. I've never raced with this organization or at this event but I'm looking forward to it! Stay tuned!!
