Accessing the Damage

After running sunday today was my inspection of the Honda. Front seat mount bolt ...missing, rear lock bolt on bottom suspention linkage arm...missing, both lower engine mount bolts....loose big time, steering compensator cylinder....blown out and leaking, right front shock....leaking air (intaking air, when trying to get the needed 0 air pressure in shock, when venting a hugh amount of air escapes from release plunger).

I take it to dealer tomorrow for repair and set up for next week. Really need to dial up suspention, rebound was way to heavy on rear, almost catipulted me twice on landings. I will have shop support both Saturday for practice and Sunday for event, so we can get a good dial uip during sat practices.

So far in my class for points I have 28, leader only has 52, so unless I fade fast will hang in there for season, have to be in top half of class to qualify for State Championship series later in year. And as I was told yesterday, "Not bad for an 'oldguy' and God you are fast".
The rider parked next to me was in the same Vet class riding a Kaw 250, he stated he could not keep up, and was amazed that I pulled 2nd into the hole on the start, and just walked away. He also told Momma a few of my should not have been doing antics on the backside of the track where she could not see, the the 'evil eye' from Momma.

Also for some reason Mother-in-Law came along to keep Momma company, she fell in love with the 4 and 5 year old mini class races, and they are a total hoot, amd no matter where I run in the schedule I have to watch them go too. MiL states she si coming to more throughout the year.

Mommas work camera had to much of a delay so all shots from sunday were 'misses', so we are getting a more high speed low drag camera/video set up so I can 'share' the idiocy.
