Yeah I should be there. I might skip work and go to their practice too this Wed. (18th) since they changed up the track quite a bit from last season.
I've been waiting for this time of year.!

did you go down then? if ya did, how was it? and what class are you going to be running this saturday?

[LTR450_#67]

I went down for practice and it wasn't too bad I thought. The track is kinda setup wierd though since you come out the gates take a right turn then right away you have a choice to go left or right, double-double, a turn then double and then the two lanes comeback together. So the track splits and its just wierd.
I will be doing B class. I'm not that fast so wave when you go by...lol.

I didnt make it down today...kinda sucks but still got to ride at our track...how did the race go? Good turnout for quads?

Yeah it was very packed there......I ran Production B and Open B. In Production B moto 1 I came out of the hole in third then stalled by landing on the rear brake over a jump.... Got going again but didn't over do it came back and got 7th. In Open B moto 1 came out 3rd or 4th moved into 1st after halfway through the second lap and pulled away. My brother said I had a 10-15sec. lead over 2nd place! That was my first 1st place ever. Then in moto 2 of Prod. B I came out 3rd was moving into 2nd doubled into the triple in the back of the track and over shot it a lil, cased it good and felt my knee pull or something. Pulled off of the track and let everyone by cause I didn't feel 100% with the knee. Got back on and ran a couple laps and the knee just didn't feel right, even though it didn't actually hurt. After that moto I walked around the pits and did some old football moves like cutting and jumping side to side and it felt fine. So I decided to run moto 2 of Open B since I had a really good chance at a 1st overall. So I pulled the my first ever holeshot for an easy lead and pretty much had it in the bag. Had a good lead again, backed off a lil after the 3rd lap and then tragedy happened......on the same jump I cased it and my knee popped! I pulled off in excruciating pain. I knew it was game over. I watched my overall go down the drain. I'm pretty down about the situation.... I really wanted it. I'm going to go get my knee checked out tomorrow. This hurts physically and inside. I just really wanted it.....
