HP was groomed awesome for practice today, but it was hot and sunny and track got beat, rough, and dusty. I was pretty far off the pace today looking at laptimes, we'll see what racing brings.
I was injured today before even riding. I was standing by the infield triple step-up watching and early practice and a guy eats it bad and is hurt on the ground. I was basically the only one there, so as the medical crew raced over to attend to the rider, I went out to get his bike off the track. Picked it up....and something on his bike sliced my thumb open! Great.
I also completely wasted my first practice of the day by going out with a brand new helmet on. It felt like it fit great....until I hit a bump and the helmet dropped down over my eyes and I realized it was too big. Weird. And stupid.
Saw Opligers, NOWA, MikeB21, and Shane Waite. Other than that haven't seen any familiar faces.
