Rider Updates
I haven't updated in a while so here are my results from some recent NETRA Hare Scrambles races:2011-07-31 - Rocky Mountain - C Vet 3 2011-09-04 - State Line - C Vet 7 2011-09-18 - Tina Michelac Memorial - C Vet 3 2011-09-25 - Richardson's Farm - C Vet 8 2011-10-02 - Woods-O-Cross - C Vet 5 2011-10-16 - Hard Knox - C Vet 3 Overall, some pretty good results. Moving me into 4th place for the chase for C-VET championship with 3rd place in sight. Just a quick blurb on my two "not so great finishes". The State Line and Richarson's Farm races were "mudfests". I fare OK in these conditions but in the State Line race I smacked a tree pretty good resulting in a clutch lever break and some crooked bars. I managed to finish the race but not as well as I had hoped for.Richardson's Farm was bittersweet for me. This was a rock race; where I trive! I had a good start entering the woods around 3rd or 4th. The first rock section was brutal for most but not for the 300XCW. Keep it straight and steady and that motorcycle is unstoppable. I passed my class and then some. I was phyched to be out front but a water hole had different plans for me. I lost some footing in some deep water and put the air box under. I pulled the bike out, kicked relentlessly as I watched my entire class go by. 45 minutes later I was push and towed by a quad and was able to get some spark. I completed the race a lap down and still managed an 8th place finish.On another note, I tried my hand at my first NETRA Enduro, the Tri-State in Oxford, Mass. What a great time! I was able to finish 2nd in my class and 5th OA. I recieved the 1st place trophy because the OA winner was from my class. I'll be competing in a few more of these next s
