Like most days at the racetrack, today had its high points and its low
points. We were at the track before 7AM, it was below freezing, and we
set up our garage, unloaded the trailer, and George and I went to the
mornng session of Team Hammer race school.
In the first on-track session, George was riding the "B" bike and it
only made one lap before stopping running. Back in the garage after
the session, it was quickly discovered that a blown main fuse had let
the battery run down. A new fuse and a a battery charge fixed the
problem.
I was on the "A" bike, and it was not running well. It was spitting
and missing and bogging at full throttle and anything over about 8,000
rpm. I managed to learn my way around the track in spite of the
running problems.
In session two, George's bike ran fine, but mine was still running
like crap. When we came in from Session two, Donnie and Justin and
Mike all got to work, tore off the custom race wiring harness, and
installed a stock 800SS wiring harness, coils, ignition, ECU, switch
assembly, and more. They just barely got it buttoned up before our
third on-track session.
The third session was the highlight of my day; I managed to get my
best lap down below 2:08; so I should be competitive for Moto-ST on
Sunday. George got his best time down below 2:14, even though he
missed session one entirely.
Session four was cancelled due to oil on the track. We prepped both
bikes for CCS tech inspection tomorrow morning, checked in and
registered for CCS, and then packed up and left the track.
Tomorrow: CCS practice and the CCS GT Lights race.

IF the wiring harness holds up. IF they sort out the bikes...
Otherwise have fun. Barring problems have fun anyway and ignore the
cry babies and haters.
If it has two wheels it is a good thing, who made it does matter fuck
all.
p.s. everyone KNOWS the Moto Guzzis will win.
