Thanks @
Dudelsack.
To be honest, I am done with it. Fitness is up, but skill level is ridiculously low, in my opinion. I don't know why the guy wrecked, but he was at the tail end of a break that was getting ready to form. That corner was bad, but not as bad as everyone turned it into. The folks after him had time to react, I reacted, but believe I was plowed into from someone who didn't. I can't tell, but the wheels tell a story, and I think that's it.
Earlier, I did race the 55+, and there was a wreck at the same place. Dodged a couple of wheels, no muss, no fuss. Open cat, so it was Cat1 to 4, but though they still wrecked, it wasn't an 80 car pileup from over-reaction, like the 45+4 race that wiped me out.
The 55+ was hauling butt, I was hanging on, but folks were dropping quickly. I had a good chance of a decent finish strictly because I like the pace they were setting. They didn't slow for every corner, so I didn't have to rail it 6 times a lap to hang on, like I do with the kids. 4 neutral laps allowed too much rest for those that were off the back, so instead of a top ten, it was a 16th. Decent for an old 4, but I planned on better.
I'm reliving this here, because, as stated above, I'm done. Its now just a memory, which is sad, because it really is such a jolt.
Back to distance, which was my first passion anyway. But, it's going to be tough when I know they are pinning them on that weekend.
