Race report from icerace in Sweden.

(1/9) > >>

doordie:
Here is some racereport from this weekends iceraces.

The morning starts with traning 3 laps on a course who was very "tricky" only 140 km/h at straight.
We were 30 guys in my class and only 16 goes to final.

After 30min ,first qualifie 4 laps  :

Got a very good start and got the "holeshoot" ,but one guy passed me after first turn :evil:  and then my racepace were on... :twisted: got him a at last turn after 3 laps and won the first qualifie! 8)

Then a rest for 30 min again.
Have to turn some loose nuts but no problem. :o

Time for next qualifie:

A new good start and were second after turn one,got in a battle with someone with a ugly "H...a" Cr 500 and a raced him to the ground with a block pass,no more MR nice guy :twisted:

Went after the first guy and catches him at lap 3 and rest was history,a new victory for the Green Team 8).

One hour rest to final:
Put in some gas and everthing were in order.

The temperature start raising and were +1-2 degrees at finaltime and it start worry me a lot  :?

A poor start at final got me at fifth position after first turn and I begin to
pass one guy after each lap,the final runs 6 laps and when I were close to
the second placed guy I noticied some problem with throttle it wasn?t returning after full throttle  :(

Lean me over at 140 km/h at straight and pulled out the chocke and managed to keep third place to the end.
Were some scary moments sometimes when it got stuck at half throttle in turns :P

Conclusion,use alcohol in gasoline when temperature is at +3 or -3 :wink:

Doordie,

I assume you finished as number uno! Congratulations and keep up the good work. I'll have to practice to beat you this summer... (I'll bring my 125 so I can ride properly).
