MAN talk about a LONG day.
We got there about 1:30 and didn't register till about 2:30 and practice didn't start till like 4:00.
Sat there the whole time and had the practice schedule written down and all of a sudden I see an 85 go by on the track.
They put them in two classes early and apparently we didn't hear them announce it.
So he had to take his ONE practice lap in the late bike round.
His first moto he did good, but he was a little slow on his exits of the turns.
He did manage to NOT come in last.
Here are some pics.
Little nervous
Just about time.
His first lap.
Can you say, suspension squat?
Lay it down boy !
Start of the longest straight away. Notice the wrist, hee hee
This picture says it all right here. Best father's day present ever. First time he has ever raced and he has been marking off days on his calendar for two months till today.
We got over 3 inches of rain last night and due to alot of hard work BEFORE the rain the track conditions were perfect. Alot of things had to fall in place for him to even race today and to top it all off he placed 5th in the main to score a TROPHY !
He was racing a crf 150 in the 85 beginner class.
You would think he could at least hang with those bikes but it was really no contest. He didn't have the take off they did and I honestly think their top end was ALOT faster than his as well.
He hung in there, knew what he had to do and did it.
Ain't been this happy since he killed his first deer. (me, not him) hee hee
