Masters of the Mountain Race weekend 1 - East Course in Tooele,Utah

My first race was in the Novice GTU (600cc and smaller for inline 4s). I started in 12th position and had a not so good start. I dropped back a few positions before turn 1. Once I finally got around the green Kawasaki (#716), I made my way back to 11th position. On lap 6 I missed a shift between Tooele and Clubhouse corner. Richard (746) passed me on the outside. At this point I was like, hell no you didn't just pass...
