Jason Thomas Reviews Rough Daytona Track & Results
3/12/2001
Recapped By: Carl Hein
Daytona is the toughest race
of the year. No one will deny that. This year was no different.
It was really rough, as always and the race is 10-15 minutes longer than
a typical main event. My qualifier didn't go as well as I planned but I
qualified nonetheless. Going into the main event I just wanted to keep a
steady fast pace that I could maintain for 20 laps. I didn't get such a
great start so I had to make a few passes in the early laps. Once I got
settled in I just tried to ride mistake free. I could see my teammate Lamson
up ahead of me for most of the race but I couldn't make up the time to catch
him. I ended up 14th. I wasn't overjoyed but it was acceptable.
I am looking forward to trying to improve on that in Minneapolis next
weekend.
