Did anyone get photo\video of my incident in turn 1? My wife thought she had it on the gopro but ended up not getting anything.
A couple people were asking what happened.. Im pretty sure I was hydroplaning as I couldnt "feel" the backtire at all. Backing off the rear brake wasnt helping, and pulling the clutch in didnt work either. Not sure what else I could have done? I didnt want to lean it into the corner, as I thought I might highside, so I tried to scrub off as much speed as I could before blowing off the corner. Basically I should have had rains on I was actually surprised at how well the front grabbed, I was worried if the back was sliding, the front would have too. Anyways, No injuries, bike had minor damage, and I learned alot this weekend. Hope everyone else who crashed was as lucky as I, and hope to be back soon.
P.S. Any advice\opinions from an outside perspective would be much appreciated.
