On Thursday myself, John and Remmy did the practice day. Remmy wrecked in the first session due to his problems with Michelin tires. John and I had a good time...........

Session 1
Remmy 1:45.402
Rob 1:54.360
John 1:48.466

Session 2
Rob 1:50.866
John 1:52.254

Session 3
Rob 1:48.154
John 1:47.112

Session 4
Rob 1:45.620
John 1:44.770

As you can see my lap times improved with each session...........and seeing as how my best time from the last time at VIR was a 1:58 you can see how much I've improved. Suspension and rear sets can make a world of a difference.


Saturday...................(John was sick and stayed at the Hotel for the race)

Practice session
Rob didn't make it cause tires weren't changed fast enough
Remmy 1:49.676

I wrecked in the 4th lap of 6 late braking a dude into turn 7. He had his line already and decided to swerve left to take a right handed turn. When he hit me I lost my brakes and tried to turn anyway...........I went into the grass. What fun.

Rob 1:45.643 38th of 39 who finished..............Funny thing is you have to get to 32nd place to find someone with a quicker fastest lap time!! I was just too slow in all the rest of the laps!!


Sunday race ??, 600 superbike novice
Mark 1:38.018 13th
Remmy 1:44.201 21st I had already left.



So that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Only Remmy and myself decided to run scrubs all weekend and we faired pretty good; bumps and bruises from wrecking aside.

 

where and how did you go down? i can't tell if thats you describing your wreck or someone else since some of it is written by someone else, or you in the third person... either way lap times are getting real good looks like

 

My name is Rob.................... And it was all written by me; no third person writing there...........

I'll explain tomorrow.

 

U okay??

 

Ya, bruised my whole right side though.

I was gonna late brake a guy going into turn 7; under the bridge then up the hill to the right. I was gonna take him on the outside because he had taken the previous 4 turns all really close on the inside. He had his line already and I had about 2 feet on the left. I late braked him and was about to pass and start my turn when he drifted left!! I couldn't believe it. I was still on the brakes when he hit me and after the hit I no longer had any brakes. I got out in front of him and tried to turn even though I was going too damn fast. I ended up drifting to the left and going into the grass; couldn't keep it up at that speed and lost it.

I was fine..........but the bike needed a new brake line and some work done to the plastics. Got it fixed that afternoon and was able to race on Sunday.

It sucks because I had a great launch and was moving up; I'm NOT the fastest guy out there; but I was moving up with every lap. It sucks to have been put out of the race like that.

 

I know your name's Rob, I saw this part and thought someone else had written it "Practice session- Rob didn't make it cause tires weren't changed fast enough", that and all the times were marked "Rob" and not "Me" so I wasn't sure whose wreck description that was

did he sever your brake line and that why you lost brakes?

 

Yup.

 

Glad u are okay
