Somerville pro,1

I have done the "main" or "feature" event 4 or 5 times when it was pro1,2 and even scored a top 30 once. Back in 2000ish they changed it to pro,1 with a separate cat 2 event. I enjoyed the cat 2 event, but still wanted to be in the pro,1 race. This year I received my Cat 1 upgrade specifically for this event. Game on.

Today was also my 37th birthday and my first race of the year with the full team of Saki kids.

I was nervous before the race and during our prerace team discussion I decided above all things... I was going out there to have fun... and a lot of fun.

I tail gunned for the first 30 laps... at about 10 to go I made my move from last to the top 10. I sat in the top 10-20 for about 3 laps and realized I didn't have the goods to bring home a result today... I slowly drifted to the back to stay away from any crashes.

Great day. Great fun.
