corpse_grinder0's story - Pahrump Oct 21/22 2006:
It was Friday around noon. I was leaving work EARLY (wahooo), and calling my buddy
Paul who stayed the night at my house, to make sure he had everything packed and
ready to goâ€¦. No answerâ€¦ get home, find him still sleeping on my couch!?! Woke his
ass up, to find he didnâ€™t pack or even finish working on his bikeâ€¦ so we
immediately went into the garage, drilled his frame slider hole, finished mounting
the bodywork, got the rest of everything together and finally left around 2:30.
Wow, was there trafficâ€¦ I think bumper to bumper from the 91, to the 15 north all
the way past rancho.
Finally reached Pahrump, at around 8 or 8:30... The drive way way way way too
longâ€¦ but at least we were finally there. Checked in at the nugget, and crashed
early. Next morning, the alarm came way too soon, I was very nervous, since I
hadnâ€™t been to the track in over 6 months, since I went to Streets of Willow with
Take it 2 the track (big thanks to Mike (speed) for that one!). I was also extra
nervous since ive never been to Pahrump.. I decided to try to put the nerves aside
and get out there and get it done.
In the first session, I was all over the place, using bad lines, everything bad.
It wasnâ€™t till my pal the little racer Paul E. came and found me and showed me
some lines around the track. I was still getting past like crazy, but I was at
least able to hold a predictable and strong line, so ppl could get around me
safetly. The soreness immediately started to take effect after lunchâ€¦ not riding
in such a long time really took its toll. I started feeling stronger and faster in
the end of the day, but the soreness was overwhelming, so I only went out for half
sessions.
After the track day, I went out with everyone to the nugget, buffet, and then to
the casino, where I proceeded to loose some money, but have fun doing it. It
wasnâ€™t till Paul E. took me to some nascar bar and bought me what seemed like an
endless amount of drinks till I had some REAL fun!!!!, he said it was our little
celebration of me turning 21, earlier in the week (the 17th). Went back to the
hotel , and slept relatively wellâ€¦
The next morning, didnâ€™t feel so hot, but for some reason, my nerves were gone,
and I was able to focus more on riding without the fearâ€¦ and the speed started to
come back, and instead of getting passed like crazy, I was starting to pass
others. It wasnâ€™t until I passed 4 ppl in turn 2, I knew I had it back. And
started just having a blast tossing and turning out there. I road almost every
session, with my body hurting less. It wasnâ€™t fun packing up and leaving, and such
a long drive back, but it was all worth it, and I cant wait to go back!
