My first race weekend was at homestead, I was puking after every practice session the nerves were so bad, I started like 4th row or something and by lap 2 I was in a 3 way battle for the lead, I forget the number of the turn but it's coming down off the back straight, a really fast left hander, thats where I lost the front at about 140mph.
I bullshit you not my bike went 40ft up into the air and almost came down on me, the feeling was a lot like big wave surfing when you get pounded for what seems like an eternity, somehow I looked up and saw the bike, it looked like a little spec up there but it was right in line with me, so I dug in with my hands and feet and got slowed down enough to avoid getting squashed by it.
Bike was totalled cept for the motor, bout two weeks later I was back with a new bike and got my first win at moroso.
Good luck jbraslins and remember, think of it as a fight, 2 wheeled war, you have to ride with rage and anger to achieve success, and let us know how it goes.
When you grid up you should be in this mindset
