Frankie didn't have to go to the hospital....yet. He was icing down his ankle and went to his trailer to lay down. But he's a tough bastard so you never know...he could be hurt worse and just toughing it out for the moment. Matt C. said he was ok.
Hey, it was a great day. I think everyone had a good time, quite a bit of track time for everyone and tremendous weather.
Matt, we all just kind of drifted out....good chance to pack up early and get home at a decent hour.
It was a great way to end the season.

I guess it depends on how you look at it. The class structure was kind of strange. I raced in LightWeight...which included everything up to 250cc...including MT's, TA's etc. Plus Nichols on his hardtail 500.
In race one I got beat by Nichols. In race two I got beat by Nichols and Turk (I don't think Turk was in race one).
So in one respect I finished 2nd and 3thrd to Nichols and Turk. In the other respect...I didn't get beat by any 200's or 250's GP class bikes. So if it was a normal 200gp and 250gp race I would have won both of them.
Frank C. gave me a tremendous race in the 2nd race...he passed me on about lap 3 or 4 and I didn't get back by him until the last lap. Never seen him go so fast on his 200.
I put to use a few things I learned following Zack in our grudge race and they worked quite well. Appeared I was only running about 2-3 seconds off the pace of Nichols and Turk...but I asked Turk about it he said he was a bit off today...which I believe...cause he just created a breeze when he blew by instead of the usual tornado.
Pretty sure Aaron won all kinds of shit. That BSA he was riding was running really strong and he had it down into the 1:28-29s
Usually my prep is the same as you did on Monday...work. Getting together the time and money to go, making sure things I said I'd deliver are done and rescheduling people to fill in for me at work.
You would have liked it, lot of very good but casual racing. Actually I think people went at it a little LESS hard than they do at Frontier, most people were more concerned with dicing with their friends than actually winning a race.
