If you didn't see it live, have a laugh on me(I know Dunlop did. Sorry for distracting you man!). My debut race in the P1-350 class on Saturday ends on the second lap in corner 5.

Thanks to Peter Sheppard for letting me ride his bike, and for his help and tips over the weekend.

Unfortunately, my video camera didn't work for Sunday's race, which is now one of my favorites since I started racing in '06. That McCaw fellow is one tough dude to pass! :)

Enjoy,

Tim

Thanks Tim. I only saw the incident from the stands. I didn't get this POV. Both views look wet. I'm glad you walked away.

Very considerate of you to bring it right to the marshall station :-)

Glad you're okay.

Great video Tim,
Any chance of bolting a spare FZR brake on that thing ??
Actually it looked alot worse from the stands, looked like an easier get off on the video (video always lies don't it). Should have a P4 F3 heat race video posted soon. That sure seemed to be the nasty corner all weekend.

Thanks.

Nah, I figured out what I was doing wrong, and even caught myself a couple times during the race. Two finger braking is not enough for these bikes. :) A hard habit to break. Between that and the reverse shifting on the CB, my brain was busy.

Can't wait to see your video. I had a vid cam on my FZR that Laura rode in your final race too.
