Hi,
I'm sorry for the late update on the race.
7 OctThe race started on Thursday, where we must scrutineer our bike only on that day. That means i have to take another extra 1 day leave just for that purpose. This is really disturbing as we went that far just to get scrutineered and then go back and get ready for the big day tomorrow. However, that day went well.
8 OctThe day started early in the morning, where we must attend the briefing at 8.30 sharp. The schedule for today is quite pack, as soon after the briefing which ends at 9, our practice session starts at 9.10. This is really killing me as i still needs to prepare, and this would only suits them who have their own mechanic/team to prep for the bike.
My practice session went well, and i am so happy with it as i could clock 2.58, where it have break the 3 minute curse that i faced earlier this year. I am so happy knowing that the problem so far was the carb that i've been using.. the setting was DAMN RICH!! i used my TZM carb, and also the throttle. I was unhappy because it couldn't be fit onto my custom airbox. but i do fit the standard airbox,but with holes on it. i wouldn't call it airbox, but rather carb cover..
did i mention that the silencer has gone during the practice? Dang..
Edi is preparing his bike..another SP in the game..
Qualifying time. I have clock in faster time during this time, but it was only a fracture of a second.. my swing arm nut have flown at this time. I feel my rear tire is giggling a lil' bit as i reached turn 5, and i dont dare to go further with it as it is dangerous feeling at T5 coming to T6. i went back to pit only to find out that the nut have gone..Dang!
I search everywhere to find this nut but no luck. i have to called my friend who is using the same bike and borrowed it from him. It was a long 40 minutes journey, just to get that damn nut.However, i did managed to get it before the start of the Race 1.
Minutes before Race 1, heaven just open up and pours down the rain.. WET RACE. i grab my front fender because i dont want the front tire spits water onto me.
It was no luck for me, because at the time i was leading in 11th place an many riders down because of the wet surface. My bike broke down in Lap 3, which forces me to end the race at Turn 3 where it suddenly give up and the engine was dead. Thats Race 1 for me.
At night i have to borrow another nut from David because he seems the perfect candidate to borrow me the nut for a day or two.
9 OctNo race day today but i went to Sepang, just to make sure that my bike wont broke down like yesterday. my friend told me that the problem is the battery is weak,as i have use it on practice and qualifying time without charging it back.Damn. He was right. My bike starts right after charging.
10 OctThe final day. pur race started the earliest at that day, 8 o' clock. Altough i got there at 7(the earliest time the pit opens) i still rushes to prep my bike. i still left with a couple of things to do that morning but the race is so near. i only managed to changed the muffler and install the nut.
That race was my best race so far in this year. i managed to get no 14 out of the 40++ racer on the grid. I also managed to clock in 2.53, about 10 seconds faster than before. Alhamdulillah.. i finishes the race happilly..
