We had a good race this last weekend. 30 of us on the grid I am starting 23rd. Race one started by the end of the straight I went from 23rd to 28th. Small bike big rider = slower
turn 1 a lot of bikes so finding a line with no one in it was hard so drop shoulder lean the bike hard, took the inside line almost hit the back tire of another racer that cut in front to avoid hitting someone else. Made it through the turn without going down. At turn 5 the same rider that I almost hit in turn 1 fishtailed in front of me forcing me off track to avoid hitting him and taking us both out. By the time I got back on the track I was in last place. I pushed hard and by the end of the race I was able to catch and pass 5 riders. I ended up taking 5th out of the 7 racers in my group. Not happy with the results but thats racing. My best lap time 2:24.899, overall time 14:44.105
Race 2 same starting place on the grid, I got a better start I only got passed by a few racers this time before turn 1. Made it through the turn without any issues, this race went better the guy I was coming close to hitting I passed him turn 4 and never seen him again after that everything in the race felt like it was just falling into place, I passed 1, then another, then another. 2nd to last turn I overtook another rider on the outside of the turn forcing him too slow down so he wouldn't hit me. He knew I was coming as he was always turning his head to see where I was. It was the only chance I had to get in front of him before the finish line. Race 2 I ended up in 2nd out of the 7 in my group. My best lap time 2:21.649, overall time 14:19.079
4 of us in turn 4

This is myself and my teammate we are almost same size, they tell us our body position is off but we are the same body position. Sometimes it sucks being big.

My 3rd place finish. Out of the 3 races I have been able to attend I have taken podium in each one.
