Well ladies and gents, I have to admit that I am addicted to racing after that SuperStreet Race! Round 7 @ PPIR was my first MRA event and I just wanted to thank everyone involved in the club for being so nice and supportive to me!!! Especially Jeff Brown, Rybo, Stephen & Matt from Dunlop, Jeff Healy!!, Ed & Jessie D., Jim Wilson & T-Bone, and David from 303Cycle!! I didn't bring any gasoline because I assumed that PPIR had some there, and the first person that I met was Rybo and he offered me his gas immediately! I low sided in practice on Friday and snapped an OEM clip-on and a windscreen on my GSXR and was almost out of the SuperStreet race for Saturday, but everyone that I talked to on Friday tried as hard as they could to locate one for me, even calling friends out-of-state who were willing to overnight the parts to me if I needed! Truly amazing sportsmanship and immediate friendship right there!!! I must say that I really felt like a part of your "family" immediately!! Everyone that I met over the weekend was extremely nice and welcoming to me and everyone reinforced the idea of keeping the racing family that you all have created!
I am signing up for the new racer school in April and hope to race every round as a Novice next year! After 27 years of paying cash for everything, I finally applied for my first credit card so that I have a nice safety blanket for my Rookie Race Season!! I will be needing lots of stuff to get me fully prepped for next year but this winter is going to be all about getting ready for next year. I will be doing most of the track days left at HPR and PMP so I can become more familiar with the tracks and get as much practice/seat time as possible! I am not sure if I am going to keep my GSXR and race it or sell it as a street bike and buy someone’s Race Bike that is already hooked-up with parts and is safety wired, a decision I will have to make soon I guess.
So, I just wanted to say THANK YOU!!!!!!! for welcoming me into your family and I look forward to meeting all of you and getting to know some of you a little bit better during the 2013 MRA Season!
