LEAVING EVERYTHING ON THE TRACK

It all began with the thought that this time,

I would leave everything on the track for the final race of the season. I wasn’t going to win the championship anyway and my aim to reduce my weight had also fallen short. So be it, I will see what happens. Those were the exact thoughts I had in my head in the days leading up to the race. It was tough to gulp down that P5 position. I felt like I was being too conservative on the track and I did not use all the tools that were at my disposal. So, this time, I tried to make up my mind to win the race, regardless of what may come. There should not be a reason that I do not try to win the race.

The weekend approached and all of us flew down to Pleasant Days Hotel. Now that hotel has become sort of a home for this racing family. It was enjoyable to see so many people from the auto industry, all under one roof, all tied up together by the racing experience that lay ahead. First came the practice day. The sun was bright and the track was dry, we were eager to get our hands down and ride motorcycles on the tarmac without any restrictions.
