Round 7, PPIR, Sep. 15-16

Final round!  My 43 point lead in Thunderbike going into this round meant all I really needed to do was finish, and the only reason I needed to even do that is because it's a double points round and with 36 points given for a win, I just needed to finish.  I took second, but feel like I could have beat the guy in front of me if it weren't for a bad tire choice.  The medium compound Pirelli just didn't work at this track and I unfortunately thought with it not being as cold outside the medium would work with my suspension settings for this track, but I was wrong.  The rear tire spun all weekend long and I could not get it to hook up, it was almost unrideable.  But I stayed where I needed to in the points chase and finished the weekend and salvaged what I could with the spinning tire.  Here's the results for the weekend:
Heavyweight Supersport  5
Heavyweight Superbike   6
Middleweight Supersport  2
Middleweight Superbike   9
Thunderbike                  2 

So here's how the season ended:
Thunderbike- 1
Middleweight Supersport- 4
Middleweight Superbike- 4
Heavyweight Supersport- 4
Heavyweight Superbike- 5

Here's a few pics from the last round by my man John Chadwick...




All in all it was a great season.  I want to say a big thank you to all of my sponsors this year:
Th'Ink Tank Tattoo, the Walnut Room, STM suspension, Sol Performance and Pirelli, Foothills Triumph, Snug Harbor and Puma, Speedmetal, MadMoto, EBC brakes, Woodcraft and Armorbodies, Bloodnickle, Von Zipper, and Wicked Photo.  Without all of your support I wouldn't be out there.
