Race Report: AFM Round 6 Thunderhill.

Started Friday with Z² Track Days with some practice. It was pretty windy so being on a small bike was extra exciting. Concentrated on getting used to the ecu changes I made the night before. mostly just worked on getting myself warmed up. A good day.

Saturday during practice I finally broke 2:15 for the first time since my bad crash at Sonoma last year. I was about 0.7 seconds off from my best lap time.

During my first race of the weekend, Afemme Lightweight, I set a new Personal best with a 2:13.794. I also had an amazing launch, all those years gaming is paying off. The entire race I was pulling 2:14s until the last lap, I'd call that improvement.

Sunday I rolled out for a couple warm up laps during practice before pitting to get the bike ready for race 1 350 Superbike . Right from the start I was battling with #954 , I'd almost have a pass set up and the door would get slammed shut. I drafted him on the front straight and took the lead through turn 1 and 2 before he took me on the inside of 3. As we came around turn 14 and 15 I managed to set up a nice draft pass and from that point I was running. On lap 4 I pulled a 2:10.586 from somewhere. To me that is better than any trophy, a big personal improvement.

I look forward to round 7 and trying to replicate that 2:10 or maybe a sub 2:09.
