Raced in lightweight supersport and thunderbike this weekend at Blackhawk Farms Raceway in South Beloit Illinois this last weekend. Rained all morning so I switched to my rain tires. Led the lightweight supersport race for 3 laps until my tires got too warm from not having enough water on the track. I ended up with a 2nd place finish and pulled back 5 pts from the championship leader. Still in 2nd place for the championship. Thunderbike was later in the day and I battled to try and get around an expert rider. Got around him in the last turn to try and catch the leader.  It was a classic run to the stripe but I didn't quite have enough and settled for 2nd place being beat by .441 sec. I'm still leading the Thunderbike championship by a large margin.
