Sonoma Raceway was the setting for the 5 th AFM race round of 2015. One of the most technical tracks on our circuit, it is the one track we race on that used to host AMA racing as well as club level races. Historically this particular track has been my worst track that we ride, and even more so on my current bike. I hadn’t been here since our last round at Sonoma earlier in the year when I had finally broken my previous personal best by just a bit. I came into this weekend fairly hopeful, however, partially due to a few things happening over the summer break that I knew would help me improve in various ways. I had received some coaching at one of the PTT track days from one of our faster racers, and there were several take away pieces of information that I knew I could apply to any track I was on. Over the few weeks in between that track day and our races I sat down with a notebook, some videos, and a track map and tried to really apply some of the things we had gone over
