All my fault. My rider is talented and new at it. After 16 test and tune runs over the last few weeks I felt he was ready. Thursday nite he finally looked like he was the bikes boss and rolled out of the burnout on the new shinko with confidence. We entered Pro ET against all the box guys knowing we were at a disadvantage . He had plenty of family on scene to watch his first race. The battery went dead the track was sticky and the experiment with six heavy clutch springs which was acceptable on Thurs nite just bogged the bike with a useless battery in front of his fam. Uggh I feel like a dork. So we buy back into the second round and its dark so I'm hoping for less traction when we line up against a guy who won the world finals eight times. The announcer was bubbling over our outstanding opponent to the point that I was praying my guy couldn't hear it. He knew him personally so it didn't affect him and took his shot at the light and redlit and stalled. I could not feel worse. We are tearing into it this weekend and going to take it out after a dyno run but he can't wait to run again. He is a great kid and I will now try to live up to my responsibility as owner to give him a proper rocket...
