I didn't finish the race, done a little mudslide off turn 1-2 in the infield of Talledega. Got a terrible start, as one might expect on an sv in the 600 class. Started on the next to last row, I think in about 23rd position. On lap two was running in 9th position, on my way to a top ten finish. Pulled up on the outside of a guy on the brakes to maybe get inside position for turn 2, but the door was closed and no where to go but the slip-n-slide. One broken steering dampner and shift shaft, just out having fun trying to run with the 600's. I know that Talledega is the only track that a sv-650 could possibly run with the much faster bikes. Well, I'll see everyone at the GNF.
