The MotoAmerica third round at VIR race weekend started out by visiting the local CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL and then to the BOYS & GIRLS CLUB, where we signed over 100 posters for the local kids.<\/strong><\/div>\n

First practice, I went out, got in about four laps and the motor blew. \u00a0This was not good, because we didn’t have a spare. <\/strong><\/div>\n

We were asking around and talking to people. Ameen Sajjadi from Meen Motorsports gave us a Super Stock motor to use for the weekend. \u00a0Seriously, can not thank him enough for his generosity.\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n

We were in a time crunch to get the motor back in the bike before the first qualifying . My dad, brother, and grandpa did a great job this weekend and worked there butts off to get me back out there. <\/strong><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
I ended up 13th in qualifying, which I was not happy with at all. I was fighting the bike all over the place and nothing we were trying was working. I just put my head down in the races and gave 100%.<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

I got a great start in Race 1 and jumped right up in the race. I kept pushing, but lost the group in front of me, and came home in a lonely 12th place. I was not happy with this result at all and I was determined to change that in Race 2.<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Race 2, definitely didn’t go as planned right off the start. I was running good right up in the battle with the group ahead of me, but then I was starting to notice that the bike was really hard to turn. <\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
I knew something was wrong, but didn’t quite know what it was. After the race, we found out that the steering dampener came loose, was tweaking and almost locking up. I kept fighting through it, but ended up 13th in Race 2. Definitely was a struggle this weekend, but I will keep pushing and getting better! I am currently in 9th place in the MotoAmerica Super Sport class.<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I am going to try hard to turn this around at Road America, the next round in the MotoAmerica series. Our goal was to leave VIR in the top 10 and start a push at Road America as we head into tracks I already know. I would just like to give a huge thank you to my crew this weekend for working their tails off. Just wish that I could have came away with better results.<\/span>\u00a0Thank you for standing by me in the good and bad!<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Also have to give a huge thanks to the people who make it all happen:<\/strong><\/div>\n
