All right, Ricky Dietrich, the real Ricky Diedrich, not the fake Twitter impersonator.

Exactly, this is the real one that rides the bike and all the above.

Hey, what did you think about your day? I thought it was pretty good and you were solid, especially in the second model.

It was a good start, you know. I personally, I want to be top five every time because, you know, I'm'm capable of it. I did it two years ago. But it went well, you know, for the first round that.

I've never even raced this track before my first time here.

So it, you know, kind of rough first moto came from behind there, but I was putting in solid

times at the end.

So, you know, I just, I'm good at the end, you know.

I'm not going to practice any more 30-minute motors.

I just got to do sprints, you know, I got to get through those first five laps really good.

And then after that, I'm good.

Is that where you felt those guys had you a little bit in the beginning of the lap speed?

Yeah, it's just in the beginning, you know, they put in their best laps and that's I mean you know it's not it's not my style you know I go the distance so you know my my speed is there at the end of the motor but those first

couple laps it seems like I'm kind of just kind of floating like I don't know just

taking a couple deep breaths settling in when I need to be just hammering down you

know so you know we know exactly what we got to work on and, you know, just keep going from here.

I saw you out there with Brownie. You're like, oh, God, are we in works race or are we in a national?

I know, stuck behind him for a few laps out and then I mean like I said my times are

solid at the end so we're going to work on those first five laps and you know I

mean if I could get a start inside the top five and then get through the first five

laps it's still in the top five I mean shoot I think I could almost put on the

podium so so overall happy happy yeah. Solid start to the season.
