AFM Round 2, Infineon
In a nutshell...

Infineon rocked.

Friday: awesome practice day with new personal best laptimes
Saturday: came in fourth out of twelve in my novice race with a laptime of 1:59.9
Sunday: beat seven people in 650 twins and had a faster best laptime than seven riders who placed ahead of me (1:57.4), my boyfriend won Formula Pacific (where the fastest riders race the fastest bikes), and I had an awesome crash in Formula IV that got caught on camera:



I love the shattered glass, flying ponytail and hand still on the throttle like "I think I can still save it..." I was fine, but my bike needs a tiny bit of work. It happened on the first lap when everyone was still bunched up and the rider in front of me grabbed a handful of front brake on the exit of 9 and tucked the front. I rode up and over his bike. I'm still not sure how his bike landed on its right side, though.

The James vs. Christie speed delta is coming down, slowly but surely! It's typically around twenty to thirty seconds, this weekend, a mere seventeen. Hooray!

Although anybody who says "I had an awesome crash" in the context of motorcycle racing is probably overdue a psych evaluation :-).
