Well raced a hard dusty race at the Hot Springs ORV Oct 1st. Didnt have that great of a start. Tried to go by some riders and went down after getting my bars tangled with another rider. Got up shook it off and finished 2nd in my class. Lots of elevation changes and a few technical down hills. Had fun and getting rrady for the next race.

Well the race didn't go as planned this weekend. Rushed around and had to do a complete rebuild on my top end. Got that done and broke in the motor on pratice day and it ran like a top. On race day I was feeling good walking the starting area and practicing launching. The flag dropped and I shot out of the hole like a rocket. Took the hole shot and off through the woods we went. Had a bobble in some loose stuff and dropped to 4th. By the time we came through the scoring gate I had fought my way back to 2nd place only to notice I had a flat on the front of my bike. I pushed on and finished the race with 5 laps in 1.5 hrs. My first lap was 14.56 minutes and the rest of my laps were only 17.5 minutes. Better luck next race i guess.

Well 3 races down and I and currently 2nd in points in your class. First 2 races i didnt do as good as I wanted but finished with out any breakdowns. The 3rd race i finished 3rd in my class and 31st overall out of 115+ riders. Feeling pretty good about this season. Thanks to msrhardparts for keeping my bike up and going. Hoping to get a new pair of boots soon as mine are wearing out. Racing on a budget with my oldest son.

Well the last couple of races I have been plagued with break downs. Getting better at taking the hole shot. Last race I got the whole shot and led the race until I broke my exhaust off my jug. Was doing good but had to baby the bike in so I wouldn't tear the motor up. Bike feels good after a fresh top end. In September I blew my motor coming through the gate on the first lap. Took the hole shot in that race as well. For being my first year racing I have taken 4 hole shot awards from 9 races. All of them have been in the last 5 races. This weekend is the last race of my series and cant wait to get it over with and hopefully rack up enough points to take 3rd in my class.
