Nick’s Race Blog Update – West Coast Moto Jam, Infineon AMA – May 15th & 16th, 2011
Is a blog a blog if it’s posted 4 weeks late? Guess that depends on how “now” you are, brown cow. I don’t tweet, I believe a good story is a good story, and if Yelp is for yelpers, what does that make Twitter?
But honestly, I’m not sure my efforts at the Infineon AMA national this year make a good story, so I’m going to be brief:
I got there, I raced twice, and fell off once. The end.

My two compadres in our AMA roadracing endeavor, Jose Flores and Roi Holster, had slightly different weekends…
Jose Did Not Finish Saturday’s race 1, thanks to a slipping clutch. His crew chief and master mechanic Jeff Lee fixed it up, only for Jose to crash in Race 2 on Sunday in the Carousel turn 6. Tough break, except Speed showed his crash on t.v., and Jose is now a household name – check out my subsequent report from Miller Motorsports Park, two weeks hence.
On the other hand, Roi – who is single, by the way, ladies – had two good races and finished ahead of me both times, the swine.
As the great Rossi would say, Roi and I had “a great battle” in race 1 on Saturday, and we were neck-and-neck through the very last corner when my front tire gave up its intimate connection with terra firma, and we gracelessly slid out. I quickly remounted and crossed the finish line, only losing one position to get 16th, Roi claiming 14th.

But in Race 2 on Sunday, I was lacking confidence in my front end owing to – uh – crashing, and pretty much cruised around feeling lame. Oddly enough I finished three places better than Saturday, mainly through attrition in the damp conditions. To wit, Roi and I had to go dirt riding on lap 3 to avoid a fellow racer who highsided himself to the moon directly in front of us – ah, the folly of youth.
Roi left me in his dust and got 11th on Sunday, good job mate.
The end. Again.

Get paid for surveys is real and who doesn’t like the idea of a home based job?
