Well, the 2011 race season is finally underway for me. I went out to PIR for Monday night racing and had the standard great time. Finished 10 out of 14 in the Novice Masters. Made it to the back straight on the final lap before being dropped by the lead pack. I'm very happy with that considering my fitness has been hammered by a crazy work schedule and a really bad cold this spring.
For those of you that don't know about racing PIR, here are the details:
1.9 Mile road racetrack. Built for everything from motorcycles to Indy cars. Smooth and pancake flat, the only variable is the wind, which seems to usually be an issue. The races are between 6 and 16 laps, depending on which category you race in.
Here is a link to the official site: http://www.racemondaynight.com/blog/
If you have never raced there I recommend it. It is a great workout and a lot of fun. And the Illegal Feed Zone is always there with a post race beer (when I race...)
And I'd like to give a big thank you to my wife for supporting my biking habit. Thanks babe!
Keep on Riding!
