 We decided to return to Jennings GP to continue training for the upcoming season this past march 13-14th. Despite the significant distance, it’s worth every mile to drive down.We picked up right where we left off the previous month & picked up some lower lap times along the way. We arrived Friday morning early, both drained from the drive but very excited for the weekend as the weather was promising to be a lot warmer then the 1st time we went. Had a couple of hours sleep before we went to the track to drop off the tents. Saturday morning we arrived early at the track to do the setup & attend the riders meeting. 9am rolled around & Louie was off, runnings faster times then the 1st test weekend we attended. By the afternoon sessions he was running 1:19’s comfortably. Sunday morning the sessions went great, dropping more time. The afternoon session was used to scrub a set of tires for the scheduled 5 lap race.
Following the mandatory riders meeting for the race participants, away they went for the warm up lap. The riders were gridded, the flag was dropped & off they went in a storm, Louie getting the holeshot into corner 1. He ran his fastest times, mid 18’s, holding the lead for the first 2 laps. He crossed the finish line in very close 2nd place. Overall very pleased with the weekend as the winter sacrifices have paid off.
We left Jennings Monday morning for the dreaded haul back home, 22 hours. Looking forward to the April test weekend at Shannonville…see ya!!!
