nobody Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 well this is my second race in Saudi Arabia ( the first one i came in third ), i was determined that i do better but at the start of that day every one seemed to hit a personal record, now we did not beet the record with a second or a part of it every one made 3 seconds minimum some 4 or 5. at the start of the race ( in therd posision ) i had a bad start as alwayes but stayed at forth. us for leaders kept together for the first 2 laps, on the third lap i was going to over take the guy in front of me at the end of the strait but i cud not down shift!!! the bolt that holds the shifting rod came of and now i can not down or up shift and was stuck in 5th gear in a track that uses 2nd gear in 90% of the track. i was screaming and i think that i cried ( do not know and will not admit it ) the guy behind me past me i looked at the shifting rod and found that the shift rod feel in the lower faring and it will not be a problem when leaning i gave it my best. the race was 12 laps total, the shifting rod feel at the beginning of lap 3 but i manege to finis in 5th please.

lwarner Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Way to make the most of it man! I have been in similar situations when racing (bicycles) and I understand your frustration but still, you did awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobody Posted November 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 i know that i tried my best and did good, but you know one of the three podium places was in my reach. and for some strange reason, my lap times have dropped by 2-3 seconds, instead of going 1:26 i am doing 1:28-1:29 and i do not know why?
