First Race at ICAR for the Parts Canada Superbike Championship

Well to be honest, I’m happy with the result of this first race of the season. ICAR needs some getting use to since you have walls and guard rails pretty much in every critical area on the track.  I came to this race with two goals. To finish the weekend with no crashes and to beat my lap times from last year. I didn’t crash and I went 2 seconds faster then last year.  I also had a great time with some people I met at the track. Lee Kuhn Sr. and Jr. They where the most friendly people I have met in a long time. Lee Sr. knowledge about motorcycle road racing is very impressive. Not to mention is engineering know how. His son Lee Jr. was very fast on his Triumph 675 and finished 17th. I finished 22 on my Suzuki GSX-R600. I think that I still have steering problems with the bike. I can’t rap my head around it. It still runs wide in turns. Oh well as a great road racer one’s said “ to finish first, first you must finish“.  Talk to you soon.
