After many fits, starts, false-alarms and canceled plans, we're finally, Finally... FINALLY going to see some knobby tires spun in anger for the first time in 2026! We did manage to get out to PIR 3 weeks ago for some road racing, but nada moto. Jammer is really looking forward to Daffodil!

Not sure if cuts changed the outcome but the gates were definitely strict! Definitely a good idea to put track markers where the gates are if they're strict. Awesome track for racing though! I felt like I was battling the whole time and from the results it looks like it was close up front as well. I like the way most of the turns were positive banked. A lot of tracks make turns off camber unintentionally. I think it's best to make them on camber by default and only go off camber when you want it as a special case.

I was so close to a podium and finally beating Alice for an overall as well. But got hung up with donut and after that the mistakes poured the last lap and gave it back to Alice 😭. Was such a fun race last night. I think any one of the top 5 could’ve won at any given time
