Qualified third in both AM races. Looks like Mike Hood and I are going to be battling pretty hard. I did a few little things to my bike tonight, will have to see what tomorrow brings.

What happened in the am600 race?
Sorry to hear. Wasn't sure if you started the race or not. Glad to hear that you and the bike are mostly OK.Was out in the lead, hit corner 11 off-pace and @#$% off because I could hear Mike Hood right on my five, when the front end gave me a big warning... threw the bike away and up and it caught grip again for ... ten feet? Then it started sliding, both ends.
I think - but I don't know - that going out on fresh tires was a bad idea. The tires weren't scrubbed in. I was going through there at a higher pace all weekend on beat-up tires and then suddenly I'm sliding through the gravel on fresh ones? Can't say I understand it, TBH.
I got my brake guard back from Max (rookie cup rider) and donated my rear brake pedal to the shannonville refuse pile somewhere off 11. Other than that, the bike was ridable but not race-ready, the right hand clip-on was rotated about 45 degrees forward. I didn't think of it until later, but I should have waited until the end of the race in the pits, then walked it past the finish line so that I didn't get a DNF. Oh well.
My lower back is a bit stiff and sore, but that's about all wrong with me. Tomorrow morning is going to be another story, I expect.
