Master's Nats. Crit.

The crit course was a half mile loop in the infield of Churchill Downs. Basically four corners and pan flat. There were 45 starters for 62 laps. A break of seven got away early and I was not in it. Three more went a little later. I tried to bridge to them with a couple other guys, but it was not to be. The field got lapped by the ten with about 20 to go. I was set up pretty good for the finish, sitting about 8th wheel. The guy in front of me sat-up and rolled wide exiting the second to last corner and I got run into the grass. That jacked my line for the final corner and I was in the grass again. I lost quite a few spots in the final two turns but basically held my position on the finish straight. I ended up 19th. It was a good learning experience and I am looking forward to next year.
