I got the thing moving forward and took off after the group (is a group of twin racebikes a gang, or is it a flock or herd or gaggle. Actually, come to think about it, it should be a thumping of twins...). I got around most of the backmarkers going from the banking into the infield, and was around all but the lead two bikes by the end of the first lap. I was being held up but didn't want to make a dumb pass and so I waited for a good spot and passed one bike only to get passed back waiting to pass the lead bike. I decided to just get away and put in a few clean laps and was going to pass for the lead when that bike grenaded a motor. At that point I just put it in cruise control and circled around until the checkered flag.

As always, I have to thank Peanut, as she had a really tough weekend but was still supportive and helpful. California Race Services were ultra busy all weekend but still had time for me whenever I needed it and of course supply the most kick-ass slicks available--Pirelli. TCM Products helped me with a great rearset package, able to withstand serious bending and still not break, strong enough to get kicked and still stay true. Leo Vince makes a really great pipe for the new Aprilia's and I'm spoiled with the power the bike makes now, Thanks guys.
