My race bike progress

slo

Well I was hoping to have some good news after last weekends race at High Plains Raceway. Started off great, pulled into the lead about half way in the first lap, then things got crazy in a good way. The first 3 of us started making great passes, about 3 for each of us within the first two laps.

Coming out of turn 3 in the 3rd lap I lost all power. Through my hand up to let other riders know, got off the race line and went into the dirt to get out of harms way. Bike would not start back up.

What a miserable feeling to see the rest of the riders go by lap after lap. Much more worse was knowing my first full race season and that I "could" have gotten a top five (was already #4 and moving past 3rd for the season), now was completely impossible.

Anyway, TEAM SLO has now expanded, added a new teamate and good friend..... Time to put it behind me and keep on going, just gotta figure out what happened with the bike. Could have had disasterous results if the bike lost power while deep into a turn.....
