Your First Race

[Family Guy]

Lets hear when and where your first race was. My first MX race was at Greenes Raceway Sept. 1984 Sr Mini I raced a 1983 Honda CR80 Finished 11 had 19 in my class. My first ATV race was at Terrapin Point 1985 raced my Dads ATC200X in the youth class finished 4 out of 8. First race on a quad was December 1988 at Norfolk Scope, we raced around the truck pull drag. Finished third on my 2 week old 250R. Man I miss those days. Yeah I am old.

Mine was horrible. It was a hot, dusty, 12 mile XC course. My heart was in my throat and i managed to end up staring at the sky when the flag dropped on the dead engine start. I ended up last behind about 7-8 other quads in my class(my quad was the smallest). About 5 mintues into the lap my chest protector came apart at the top and proceeded to dangle around the rest of the lap. My thumb hurt so bad i could hardly push the throttle and as i came around with a lap time of just over 39 mintues, i called it quits. I almost threw up, i couldnt move very quick, my hands felt like two big blisters, i was a mess.

the second race came around and i ended up 1st in class though:D

I was 10 or 11. I ditched my Yamaha 80 for my brothers 125. This was in 1982-83 I guess. It was everything I could do to keep it on the track. I think I came in 5th out of 6 and when I pulled the bike up to my dads truck and pulled off my helmet I puked my guts out.

I quit racing in 2001 after breaking my back. a few years later I bought my first quad.

my 1st atv race my seat fell off. my first mx well pants fell down it was muddy as ol heck Deal roosted me pretty good and the mud was so thick I got hit in the head and it hurt I thought I was going to puke. I almost wrecked 2nd moto but my bike quit and wouldn't start. In front of a big crowd. My 1st ATV race back since injury forgot the kkey luckily we were only 20-30mins from the house...My 2nd atv race back since injury I had to get boosted and I was being helped up and I could hear a few laugh I told my buddies holding me one of hos goes wish we could see the ***holes 1st mx race back since injury I was in arena cross and well my biddues didn't put my strap on right we had to restart the qualifier because I couldn't fix it.

First race was MX on my 400ex, stock width. We just went to go play. Came out 3rd on the holeshot, red flag. Came out 3rd again, moved up to second. In Moto number 2, came out 3rd on Holeshot, stayed there the whole race in Beginner. I was 17-18. Oh yeah, I had on Blue jeans too.

First XC race, (which is what I always wanted to do) was hot, dusty, and 11 miles long, riding the same 400. Got 11th out of 22. I was shaking in my boots, and jeans on the holeshot, (dead engine start), and wanted to be mid-pack. I went into the first turn 2nd, guy in front of me crashed a mile in, nearly lead the whole first lap, but lost back brakes, and front were extremely weak at the time. Haven't missed a single Mid-South since, and run a few nationals and other series' races here and there, but the 400 is long gone, and the days of racing in blue jeans are gone too.

I was 13 at Estreet Mx in Nor-Cal. October 28, 2007. I was on my stock 450 and went 5-6 for 5th overall out of 12.

End of this summer was my first and only race. I'm not by any means new to riding but I had never raced. I went to register and tried to register for A class but they wouldn't let me because I'm on a 505. So they put me in open class. There was one other quad and i beat him by half a lap one moto and I think he took himself out the other moto. Got first but what did I really accomplish? haha Wish they let me in A class to see how I hold up against some fast guys.
