Friday 6/12
Left work by 3pm, but since this is the start of bike week in Laconia, there was a ton of traffic.  It took me two hours to get from Boston to Windham NH.  I stopped in at Nault's and did some dyno testing on the 125, with disappointing results.   Went up to the track, did registration and set up for saturday.

Saturday 6/13
I took the 250 out in red practices, and the 125 out in yellow. 

125 GP
I got a horrible start and went into T1 dead last of the experts.  Not a good outlook.  We got a red flag after lap 1, when the ambulance had to pick someone up in T1.  I got a better start on the restart but again got bumped back into T1.   On the second lap of the restart, I got caught up in a multiple bike crash between T8 and 9.  I was side by side with someone when there was a high-side right in front of us.  The person on my right hit the bike and went flying, and I was on the brakes as hard as I could.  I somehow managed to get through the mess, but lost all touch with the field.  It ended up being a pretty lonely race.

LWGP
We got called to the grid, but then got sent back to the garages, as there was a big cleanup to do in T3 and T12.  By the time we got back out there, I was completely unmotivated.  I raced the race, but not very hard (or well).  I was especially slow in T3 going through all the pixie dust.  I ended up getting lapped about 20 feet before start/finish.  Oh well.

I went to dinner with some people then went home.
