racing up at VIR this weekend. was doing great in the races. i had been starting out in the 24-27 grid position and was ending up about 10th in my races until my brakes started wearing down and i ran off the track in 2 straight races. sooo i changed the brake pads, unfortunately i was running ferodos but could only get ahold of ebc's. which if you know have alittle more intial bite than the other brake pads. so i start my next race running alittle easy. after about 5 or 6 people passed me i decided i had enough of taking it easy and it was time to start pushing alittle. came up to turn 13 at the top of the hill hit the brakes and did an endo at about 100 mph. i was passing 2 guys for the turn, had passed the 1st doing the endo when i let the rear back down i realized that if i hit the brakes again that i would probably t-bone the second who had just initiated the turn......so i didn't hit the brakes and went flying right thru his path straight off the track down the hill.
the bike is alittle jacked up and will need some work. my next race is in sept so i should be back up by then.
i wrecked right in front of my buddies and they video taped it so if i can find a place to host my video i will put it up for ya'll
