Updates! Licenses, racing, crashing.
The RideStream team has been busy! We’ve gotten Jared’s bike ready, taken the 2-fast New Racer School (recommended!) and had our first race.
Jerome had a bit of an oopsie in Turn 5 at Pacific Raceways at the NRS. Mike was able to get the bike together in time for the first race.
Our first race weekend was.. different. It contained snow, hail, and rain. It was Jared’s 2nd and Jerome’s 1st time out on Race Rains. Overall the team did ok, but with 2 crashes, a red flag, a restart and a shortened race (only 4 laps) there wasn’t much either rider could accomplish.
Here are some interesting pics

Come race day, we were up and running again. I think Jared has problems with his “I”
Gridded up. Gridding in Novice is Random, and Jared and Jerome are starting right next to each other almost in dead last. No, they didn’t finish in last.
