Not So Nice Nashville

Well for those who haven't heard, Nashville started off great, and ended hard.  I broke my collarbone in several places in practice on Sunday, trying to scrub in a new tire.  We had just come off a win in Saturday's 20-lap solo race – my first win on the new bike (in it's first race no less).  As if that wasn't a good start on Saturday, my dad won his race as well; in his first race back in nearly four years since last racing.  How quickly things can change however.

Overall, the bike was awesome and the team effort we had was nothing short of spectacular (honestly).  We were so dialed in together between my dad, Doug and I  … we made changes, improved the bike and consistently went faster each time out.  We did 4's comfortably on Saturday with a still-damp track and old tires.  With new tires on Sunday, we would have been in the low 4's before practice was over.  My personal goal was mid to low-3's in the race.  We were the fastest team there through Saturday and could have won all 4 races on Sunday – 750 classes included.  Unfortunately the script changed, which is all part of the game.  We'll bounce back ..

I'm in a sling and looking to get into surgery as soon as possible right now ..
