My season thus far has been a complete roller coaster ride.  I came into the year expecting a bit of a struggle but really felt I could hang in there have some good finishes but be consistent to finish well in points.  I started off as expected, struggling a bit to adapt to the new class and the pace.  I slowly started to adapt but still didn't have any great finishes to speak of.  About mid season I started to get good starts and was able to hang up front for a bit, and then I'd have something happen (either a mistake on my end or a bike issue).  But I started to gain some confidence from that and felt I should be a top 3 guy in the class.  I finally had a good finish of 2nd at the King Ferry round and from there I've yet to finish near there.  I ran second most of the race at Thunder Ridge where I then fell back to 3rd and then ran out of gas on the bike within a few miles of the finish.  Since then its how every race has been, looks promising and then something happens, like my clutch going this past weekend at Knobby Acres.  I'm staying positive about it all and am looking forward to next season with a new bike and hopefully only minimal problems so I can battle for the Open A championship, which I feel I really have a shot at.
