Well the weekend of 4/25, 4/26 we were racing Birch Creek in Danville, VA. Well I was racing 450C and 125cc unlimited, I got a 7th overall in 125cc unlimited and was happy with that. Well I got a 15th I do believe first moto in 450C and was bound and determined to do better next moto. Well 2nd moto I had a descent start and was sitting in 7th I went down in a turn and lost 2 spots, I regained the spots with ease and was bound a determined to get into a plaque winning spot. Well I was in 6th and heading to a sketching rutted out step-up which had been giving me problems all dy. We were the last moto of the day so the track was crappy, I hit the step up trying to get back in my rythm, didn't go that well. There was a kicker in the face and I hit it and kicked my back end up. I cased the landing and went over the bars and landed directly on my back on a rock. I was done for the race... The injuries were not critical just painful... I got a bruised lower back and muscle tightness, I have a left wrist injury that is now possibly nerve damage. Dr. says that if i don't watch it I could injury it again and loose feeling in my hand. I am done racing for the month of May and possible June. I hope to get back on the bike soon but don't want to rush things. I will give you the update and hopefully I will be back on the back soon...

Well had my first C class race two weekends ago which also happened to be the LL Qualifier. I had a good start and was top 10 but then shit turned bad got loose in the turn and just fell back from then on out then went down last lap, had a 27th finish. 2nd moto had a good start and stayed mid-pack whole race ended up with a 17th and a 20th overall. Needless to say C class is very sketchy a lot of people who think they are fast and think they can whip and scrub and CAN'T!! But oh well maybe this weekend at Rolling Hills won't be bad. I'll give you an update...

Well after this weekend I have officially decided arenacross is not for me... Went down to Asheville, NC to race indoor and placed 7th in 250D and 10th in unlimited D. Needless to say i was not happy.. Drove up to Greensboro, NC after and raced Arenacross Am day Sunday. I was doing well in the Beginner class, I won my heat and was 2nd in the Main, then wadded up pretty good and finished at the back. Did't even go look because I was so pissed. So needless to say Indoor is not for me, I'll stick to outdoors...
